Great in-depth video, no one has done a better job at documenting the steps to protecting the ski from the weather. Thanks for taking the time. Now let’s take care of that rum and coke 😉

One of the best videos I've seen on winterizing and caring for your Seadoo. Thank you. Well explained 👏

Excellent video

Thanks for the detail. Gotta tackle my sons jetski this weekend. Great video

Best and most detailed Video for me so far. Your little "extras" on the sideline prevent first-timers like me havin' a bad day and searching for srews and other things inside the hull 😂👍 Thx

I am no brain surgeon, but what I always do when I am taking bolts/nuts out is simply lay a big towel across/under the area where you are working and taking the bolts out. Doesn't matter if it's a jet ski or a car. If the bolt is down under, you lay the towel under neath or on the bottom. If the screw/nut falls to the bottom, you simply fold up the towel the best you can remove the towel. Odds are the bolt/screw will be in the towel. Trust me, it works and works well.

Awesome video, thanks for doing this. I'm still waiting on my 2022 Wake 170 but will be following this to do the oil change and winterisation myself (that's if it even arrives before winter!!)

Thanks for sharing great info. I like how you didn’t run your motor and still was able to put anti freeze in. My starter went and need to put something in exhaust asap

The dealer ship here in Oakland fl wanted to charge 580 bucks to do this easy oil change. Thanks for the video

Let your ski sit for 2-3 years?? I could never….Soon as the sun and warmth come out. I’m on the lake!

Thanks.

Great Video!! This summer I upgraded to a 2020 Sea-Doo GTX 230 from a 2012 130. I'm familiar with the winterizing my non super charged non intercooler Seadoo. I also blow mine out (55psi) then fill system with RV anti freeze. Is this the same procedure for ski's with an intercooler?? Thx (Northern Ontario)

Do not put more pressure than the supercharger supplies. 10-15 Psi only. Plenty to blow the water out. Also you could simply start and blip the throttle there is plenty of exhaust air flow at 4K RPM to clear water from the exhaust. Do not exceed 4500 RPM when revving out of water with no load, impeller is left threaded and can unspin. If you want to remove water leftovers from water box, simply undo the clamp from the water box rubber hose and insert oil evac pump you use for oil change, or small shop vac to get rid of all the water leftovers from water box. Keep shop vac away from engine bay to prevent shop vac sparks from igniting combustible fumes inside engine bay.

Why don't you start it up and poor the antifreeze in just wondering

Hey mate, great video!! Did you sell the 2021 GTX230 and get the GTR ??

@ThePersonalWatercraftChannel

We have the GTX the GTR belongs to friends of ours.

Here's my worry. You're not supposed to tow with the engine off without pinching the water line due to the possibility of water being forced through the exhaust and into the cylinders. You put antifreeze in and then chased it with air. What keeps it from going into the cylinders via the exhaust on cylinders with the exhaust valve open?

At the end of the video you said you would be fine leaving it for 2 years. I just purchased wave runners that were winterized last year and we don't plan or riding them until next year. Would the gas be OK to sit for 2 years? Should I drain the gas and put new gas in them for this winter? i have the 2019 GTI 155, not sure if I can syphon the gas or have to unhook something. Thanks!

Simply crank it with out starting (drown mode) once in a while for 10 seconds to circulate the oil. This will protect your engine.

Does it matter that the engine was cranked after fogging the cylinders? Will cranking it push the fog out of the cylinder? Sorry if you answered already

Turning the motor over will just spread the oil around the cylinder better.

So you said, you are going to leave the battery connected to seadoo or remove it, bring it inside and charge is twice in winter ?

This one we left the battery in because its in a somewhat warm garage. We will charge it 2 time over the winter. If you machine is sitting in the extreme cold bring the battery inside where its warm for the winter and also charge it a couple times.

A buddy of mine bought a used see doo. Takes on water to the point where you will sink but only when he’s on the throttle. At 9:18 you mention an exhaust line. Think that’s it

As someone who lived in Albany County, I can tell you I put the antifreeze in and then cranked the engine to get it thru the engine. Then put in some more. It's not going to hurt anything and better safe then sorry. I also fogged the engine too. Then I put one big silver tarp over it as well as a jet ski cover under it. We got a lot more snow and cold then you do. The more weather you can keep off of it, the better. I put the tarp on tight to keep as much moister out as possible. Definitely bring the battery in. If it's inside it will be fine. Maybe once over the winter give it a charge but it won't need much. Then charge it again just before you are going to use the ski. Ski had been out in 20 below winters. Never had a problem come first time using it. May have had to push starter button to crank it a few times, but that was it.

When you run the machine before you shut it down do you rev the motor to 3000 rpms to empty out the filter housing and get it all in the crankcase?

I have been servicing sea doos for over 30 years and have never had a impeller come loose running it out of water. You can rev the machine as high as you want wont hurt a thing. But you do need to have a hose on it and dont run it more than a few minutes out of water or carbone seal will get hot

@@denniswilder3014 Oh, Sure the impeller can unspin. And No, you can't run as high as you want without the load. it can unspin for sure if RPM is too high. Also happens when wave jumping at WOT, the RPM limiter kicks in and acts like an impact drill with fast load no load, When revving to high on the trailer with no load, when you close the throttle, the impeller has enough inertia to unspin. Some times its so bad it can chew the wear ring, in worst cases impeller will move the engine shaft so far back in, it will destroy crank bearings.
