How to keep Jet ski engine in good condition

To keep your jet ski engine in good condition, follow these essential maintenance practices:

Regular Maintenance

  1. Consult the Owner’s Manual: Always refer to your jet ski’s owner’s manual for specific maintenance schedules and guidelines tailored to your model. This includes engine flushing, oil changes, and other critical maintenance tasks.
  2. Engine Flushing: After each use, especially in saltwater, flush the engine to remove salt and debris. The correct procedure is:Start the engine.
  3. Oil Changes: Change the engine oil and oil filter regularly, particularly after the break-in period for new engines. This helps remove contaminants that accumulate during operation.
  4. Fuel System Maintenance: If your jet ski has been sitting for an extended period (over six months), drain old fuel and replace it with fresh, non-oxygenated gas. Consider adding a fuel stabilizer like Marine PRO to clean the fuel system.
  5. Battery Care: Check the battery charge before each use. If storing for the off-season, remove it, ensure it’s fully charged, and keep it in a cool, dry place.

Post-Use Care

  1. Rinse and Dry: After each ride, rinse the jet ski with fresh water to remove salt deposits. Use a clean chamois to dry surfaces, preventing fading and corrosion.
  2. Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for oil leaks, corrosion, or any signs of wear on the engine and other components. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
  3. Lubrication: Use marine-grade lubricants to protect engine components and electrical connections from water ingress, which can cause corrosion.

Seasonal Preparation

  1. Winterization: Before storing your jet ski for the off-season, follow these steps:Fill the fuel tank with fresh gas treated with a marine stabilizer.
  2. Check Anodes: Inspect sacrificial anodes and replace them if they are more than 50% worn to protect against galvanic corrosion.

By adhering to these maintenance practices, you can ensure your jet ski engine remains in optimal condition, allowing for enjoyable and trouble-free rides
