Jet ski maintenance
To fully enjoy the season on your jet ski, it is important to do a maintenance on the jet ski and a safety check after hibernation.
With the arrival of good weather and the end of winter, it is time to get our jet skis ready to guarantee a spectacular season.
1 – Jet Ski Maintenance | Before the season:
Care before setting up the jet ski.
- Anticorrosive Spray. Applying anti-corrosion spray restores the shine to paint, chrome, glass, and soft plastics such as visors, windshields, and gauges.
Gives plastics, rubber, vinyl, and a beautiful satin finish. Due to its antistatic properties, it repels dust and dirt to maintain that shine. May require extra rubbing on soft plastics due to wax content. - Checking the greasing points.
Pay attention to the moving parts and make sure they are all properly greased. - Review of the lubrication system.
Check that the lubrication system of your watercraft is not clogged and that it does not show any deterioration. - Review of the correct operation of the moving parts.
Try moving all moving parts from one end to the other and check that there are no impediments to proper operation such as stops or noises that may indicate friction. - Fuel check. Check the good condition of the tank.
It is important to certify that there are no leaks in the tank, as well as make sure that the interior does not show mold or corrosion of any kind. - Review of the electrical system.
The batteries must always remain disconnected when the watercraft is not being used. check connection points.

3- Maintenance jet ski | First sensations in the water.
Take-off inspection.
We must pay special attention in the first minutes when we are back in the water on our jet ski.
Essential : check that the watercraft drain plugs are correctly fitted.
In the first moments we must maneuver with caution, checking the maximum turning angle, feeling the work of the propulsion and mentally making a thorough examination of the jet ski.
Little by little we will try to bring our Yamaha to maximum performance to make sure that everything works perfectly.
After 10 hours have passed after the first start of the season, carry out a review of the above points to ensure the correct operation of all parts.
Important : Only the most important points of the inspection are mentioned.
