Jet Skis

Personalized Watercrafts (PWCs), have been in production since 1973 and are quintessential part of the summer experience. They are aquatic vehicles that a rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat. Every year, improvements are made to improve the safety and efficiency of jet skis. Today's jet skis can seat as many as four people, go as fast as 65 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) and carry as much as 25 gallons of fuel. They are sturdier, faster and safer than ever. This guide includes everything a novice will need to know about buying a brand new jet ski.

Off-Season Maintenance

Before you buy a new jet ski, be sure you understand just how much is involved in preparing it for the winter. By following a good winterizing protocol, you'll protect your purchase for many years of enjoyment. * '''Drain the Engine: '''You should make sure to do this at the end of the season, as soon as you've taken the PWC out of the water. * '''Cleaning: '''You want to make sure to thoroughly clean the exterior. This means scrubbing away all of the grime, algae and excess dirt that might have accumulated throughout the season. Use the same kind of soap that you would use if you were cleaning your car. * '''Fill the Tank: '''Filling the tank will prevent condensation while it is in storage. * '''Oil:''' Spray fogging oil through the carburetors and spark plug cylinders. * '''Take Out the Battery: '''Store the battery in a warm but secluded place such as a tool shed or a garage. Storing it in the house is not a good idea because it can give off dangerous fumes. * '''Storage:''' Because your jet ski will have a full tank of gas, you want to be cautious of where you store it. Make sure that it is nowhere near any electrical sources or flammable objects. Put a rag in the exhaust pipe to assure that no animals or bugs will nest there. Protect the jet ski with a
tarp or any kind of cover that is sturdy and will not scratch the vehicles surface.
