Before stowing your jet ski away for an extended period, take the time to properly prepare it. Start by giving it a thorough cleaning to remove any salt, sand, or debris. Next, apply a protective wax to the hull to safeguard it from corrosion and UV damage. It’s also advisable to fog the engine and treat the fuel system with a stabiliser to prevent fuel degradation during storage.

Proper Winterisation Techniques:

If you plan on storing your jet ski during the winter months, winterisation is crucial. Ensure the watercraft is completely drained of water to prevent freezing and potential damage. Additionally, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its lifespan.

Regular Maintenance Checks:

To keep your jet ski in optimal condition, perform regular maintenance checks even during storage. Inspect the hull for any signs of damage or wear, and make sure the jet pump and impeller are free from debris. Lubricate moving parts to prevent rust and check the condition of the spark plugs. These simple tasks can save you from costly repairs and ensure your jet ski is ready to go when you are.

Regularly Start the Engine:

Even during storage, it’s beneficial to start the engine periodically. This helps circulate fluids and prevents components from seizing up. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for engine start intervals during storage.
