Looking After Your Jet Ski

Maintenance, storage, flushing, servicing and keeping your PWC reliable.

Salt does not sleep. Neither should your after-ride routine.

Salt water corrodes from the inside. A five-minute flush after every salt ride is the single best habit you can build.

Flush Every Ride

Watch the Small Things

Cracked hose clamps, tired trailer bearings, dry seat vinyl — small things become expensive things if left alone.

Service On Time

Skis are hard-working little engines. Skipping a service to save money almost always costs more later.

Things to Think About
  • Do you flush every ride, or only the salt rides?
  • When was your last professional service?
  • What does your trailer need that you've been putting off?
Key Takeaways
  • Flushing is the highest-return habit in PWC ownership.
  • Small maintenance beats large repairs, every time.
  • A ski that's ready to ride is a ski that gets ridden.
