Good info for my Waveraider. I was going to comment about using dielectric grease in the slide contact, but you covered it. The dielectric grease works well at keeping moisture out so I like to use it in my plug boots and pretty much any place where there is a chance of corrosion.

The “Secret to long life “ of these switches is keep a lanyard connected all the time when in storage. The little rubber cover will have No pressure on it while the lanyard is connected, this stops it from splitting and leaking water 💧. Regards Adzy

The guy who sold me my Wave Venture in March 2020 told me that! Most valuable tip so far! :)

Nice, I was kinda hoping you'd do one on these. You've mentioned them before and I have a '97 Yamaha. I'll add this to the list for winter project work on the ski. Thanks!

Thank You so much .I have had a problem with the jet ski cutting out for ages while I was driving and cleaning inside the switch seems to have solved the problem .

Good video. This has plagued me last year and this year on two different skis

This sounds like the issue I had last week at the ramp where I hooked up the lanyard, but it would not start. Luckily I hit the start/stop switch with some electrical contact spray I brought and it fired right up, but I think I will take apart the switch this weekend and fix it right.

I put a 2011 VX switch on my 95' Blaster and it works. I was looking everywhere for 93-96 Blaster switches on Ebay and Amazon. Finally I realized one day that my 2014 VXS had a switch box that looked the same!

These videos are pure gold thanks.

Make a small cast of those boots then use that rubberized stuff to pour your own. Flex seal pourable rubber. Make a cast out of pourable plaster. 🤷

Saludos desde Asuncion Paraguay!! Gracias thank you

Fixed my switch finally. I was trying to get my ski ready for a Trump Flotilla here in CA, unfortunately I never made it. The problem was as you mentioned in your video, but a bit more of a problem. Those tiny contacts in the slide were dirty, but one was corroded and would not spring back up. I finally got it out then noticed the tiny spring inside was eaten away from the corrosion and that diameter size of spring I could not find anywhere. I had springs that 'diameter wise' were close but would not fit. The workaround "for me" was too very carefully drill out the spring pocket in the slide and cut the spring to the correct length, then pray the contact would slide up and down. "It worked". I placed everything back in the lower cover tried it out and it fired right up. Reassembled the upper cover, tried it and nothing...WTF. I tore the whole thing apart 3 times down to the contacts, thinking it must be the problem, but the problem was simpler than that. It seems when I tightened the (4) screws of the slide switch housing I over tightened it and the slide would not pop backup after having to work against the spring pressure from the lanyard button. Loosening the screws to the slide housing just a little was enough for the slide switch to work more freely. It starts every time now and hopefully will last a long time as I packed that housing with dielectric grease. The little rubber boots for the switches they sell online and if I had thought about it when I went to the electronics store I could have bought some there. Another option would be to maybe make one out of Plasti Dip.

Sometimes you can test this by pulling the spark plugs and watching for spark. No spark while the button is being held down and it will spark momentarily when the button is released. Also, jet ski solutions out of Georgia will fix these. I had them do one for my fx1 and it has at least 6 or 7 seasons in it so far.

Absolute legend mate cheers

Thank you, really a great video !!!

Hey you can modify the little rubber shock absorbers on a CD player DVD player and it is identical

I have a 1993 Yamaha wave runner3 that won’t run in the water but will outside of it, I don’t know if this will fill/ help but thx for the info Ill try it out

Great info! This was the issue with my 95 Waveventure. However, I can't figure out how to get the switch with the 4 screws out of the housing to take it apart.. I took out the 2 screws on the other side. It looks like it is zip tied way down under?? Also, if I decide just to get a new one, I don't see where the wires go down into the ski. Thanks!

Great video ,question do u sell parts?

I feel like you could modify the switch entirely put a toggle switch for ignition and get a lanyard switch for a outbound and a push button for starter

Very helpful video

Guys i got a quick question long story short i have a Yamaha 1100 triple i think the cdi box is bad is it possible that it won't advance timing past idle spark or is that a stator problem anything would be great thanks again you guys are great

For storage .. Is it better to leave the lanyard on. To help keep the spring stretched out instead of it sitting compressed for months on end? Cheers

Just watched your video and it seems to be my problem- the little metal tabs in the kill switch are missing. I was going to replace the kill switch with a generic one. I tried to disconnect the black and white clip but it wouldn’t start. I checked and I have power in red wire coming from battery lead going to kill switch… any suggestions?

Is there a way to bypass the switches ? I was reading that if you connected the two browns together it can bypass it completely ,, what do you think?

Hi. Great video. I want to ask you , if i can, a question. I own a Yamaha waveraider 1100 1996 and its ok but when im riding it suddenly stops. I chek batery sparks its all Good. What can I do?? Many many thanks

thank you for this great video, I just bought a 98 waverunner that will start but will not shut off, I've already swapped the on off switch and had the same results , any ideas?

I have to hit the engine start button multiple times in a row to get the starter to crank. That’s the switch right?

Would it be the switch if it starts up fine but the landyard or kill switch won't cut it off?

Thanks for that. BUT my issue is that my jetski turns over but there s no spark? Which means the lanyard switch works but there s no spark? Is it still the same issue? Because I guess if it's the switch issue it won't even turn over? Pls let me know. I m very confused here. Thanks

I have a 2001 Yamaha wave runner and it has no spark ! I disconnected the black and white pigtail but no spark? What do think ? Thanks

So will the switch let the engine turn over but no spark ?

I found a trade for those little rubber boots you're talkin about it was many assorted ones at the hardware store in the nuts and bolts hardware section there was some assorted stuff at the far end little knobs assorted switches excetera and they had a little tray with about five or six different kinds of those rubber switch covers boots. They were about ten bucks a piece they were not cheap but they had them in different sizes. Also may check eBay for waterproof toggle switch boot. John from Marble Falls Texas

I have no power at the White connector that plugs into the start stop box White connecter what do you think it could be?

Hi, just bought a 1997 1100, same issue, it was starting but not anymore. Is this a good unit to keep?

Can you guys get a kill switch like even the whole box, mines a 650 Yamaha waverunner 1993

Try this one: I take my xl700 10mi to end of the island great engine but we go to leave it cranks and start to accelerate and boom nothing no spark. I noticed the fuse popped in the ign box put another in and nothing even pulled a spark plug and held onto it I should have got shocked. Cranks over fine but won't spark anymore I'm thinking stater I don't think the start stop would pop my fuse. Wut would u guys try on this?

They got this stuff now in the store that acts and does not get hot it is liquid black scotch tape I put it on everything with wires that evolves around water and it peels off if you need to do repairs David around all of that cover all that steel and you’ll never have a problem it is pretty neat

@@Mobileian check for fire to coils. If it is getting fire to them but no spark then it is bad coil or kill circuit which you can disconnect. Worst case is bad igniter.

I've got a 1996 Yamaha waverunner 760. No spark. No power in the entire ignition system. I bypassed the off switch made no difference. Unplugged the Cdi no voltage coming from any of the coils when cranking. No voltage to ignition coil coming from cdi. All connections in ebox are good with no corrosion. Wiring harness looks good from front of engine to ebox and from handlebars to ebox. Ignition system completely dead. Only the starter works. Any ideas?
