Wish we had one last weekend, got a piece of wood jammed in there. Husband made one and now it’s in our gear bag! Thanks so much. From the great Pacific Northwest too (south of the border).

When storing your pwc for a few weeks after riding is it best to remove the seat and the plug and put the cover on ....?

Because it's very difficult to remove all the water from the hull, we either remove the seat or have it cracked open, and leave the drain plugs open. For short storage periods we don't put the cover on. Thanks for your comment.

Hey man, awesome video I'll have to make one! I just bought two new gtr 215s last year. I was wondering if you could help me out, I'm pretty new with the skis and watch alot of your videos. I have mold and mildew under the seats of both skis and like I said they're pretty new. The seats are still real heavy and saturated with water, anything I can do with getting the mold out and drying the foam? They're stored in a garage and I try to remember to leave everything open after I ride. Any help would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

@3ftDeepChannel

7 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear the problem hasn't been fixed; the GTRs are notorious for mold growing under the seat, and discoloring the vinyl. My white vinyl has pink, blue and yellow patches all over it. I've tried everything to get the stains out, and nothing works. I've heard some people have had success making a warranty claim (i.e. they got a new seat) through their dealer. Whether or not you're able to get a new seat, the water needs to drain after each ride (although it doesn't seem to do so fast enough on the machine). I suggest removing the seat completely and leaving it vertical to drain either forward or backward toward the black vinyl sections (the black vinyl doesn't stain). See which way drains the fastest. Don't leave your seat standing on the front corners though, as they can break. You may have to hang it up. Good luck!

Is the notch on the end used to catch the impeller to pull it backwards to create room between impeller and liner to remove debris?

@3ftDeepChannel

Hey, do you need to still get in the water to use the tool? I sucked up a heap of weed today, thankfully with some throttle play, it came loose, but had me considering this optipn today. Box Jellyfish and Irukanji have me hesitant to get in the water.

@3ftDeepChannel

6 ай бұрын

Not at all. You just need to be able to get underneath the machine. If you’re at a beach, best to have a friend keep it on its side while you (carefully) work from underneath. Good luck.

Great tool, I have had PWC’s for 20 years and never thought about a tool like this. Kind of a dumb question, but how have you used this? I have carried 10mm socket to remove grate, but some have through bolts making it much harder. I looked at previous video without reading anything. Have you had success with boat in water and blindly doing by feel? Or primarily a tilt up on the beach under direct vision, or is this a trailer tool?

@3ftDeepChannel

Жыл бұрын

Definitely not a trailer tool. We’ve used it quite a few times by tilting it on its side and fishing out the object (usually a small piece of wood) while someone helps to hold the ski on its side. I think I’ve used it twice to fish out weeds that jammed up the intake grate path while it was still floating in the lake. That was “by feel”. You get a bit wet, though. Safe riding!

Hi, great video and tool, I live in Australia and it’s too difficult to buy and ship this tool to me in Australia, also I don’t have the tools to make one myself but I can get a local metal fabrication shop to make it for me, could you possibly provide written instructions/ specifications that I could provide to the metal fabricators rather than having to watch your video, I just bought my Seadoo gti130 and got a wood chip caught in the impeller on my first time out. Okay now but I need your tool for the future, thank you in advance.
