Clean Your Sea-Doo® Inside and Out

Even if you never got around to washing your Sea-Doo® last fall or winter, chances are the elements have done some of the work for you. You can get back into shape by giving your Sea-Doo® a good clean inside and out, paying close attention to anyplace where dirt and grime accumulate. After you give it a good wash, look over your Sea-Doo® carefully to ensure no cracks in the hull or other damage that could cause problems later on.

Replace the Plugs

When did you last replace spark plugs on your Sea-Doo®? If it wasn't last year, make sure you have new spark plugs installed to fire up your machine without problems. Inspect the plugs to make sure they don’t show signs of excessive wear and tear.

Change the Oil and Oil Filter

The oil in your Sea-Doo® engine is designed to lubricate the internal moving parts and dissipate heat. Change the oil filter when you change your oil. The oil filter removes contaminants from your oil to continue to perform its functions properly.

In addition to changing the engine's oil, it's essential to check that all other fluids are at optimal levels before heading out on the water. This includes transmission fluid, brake fluid, steering fluid, and coolant level. Top off fluids or have them replaced. These proactive measures will ensure you have fun all summer long!

Check the Hoses

The first thing you should look at is your hoses. Replace any hoses that show wear and tear before taking your watercraft out. When you are unsure what to check, it is best to reach out to Sea-Doo® repair shops in Alberta.

Air Filter

Over time, dirt and dust particles will collect in your Sea -Doo®'s air filter, reducing its ability to provide clean air for combustion in the engine. Make sure it's nice and clean before you go out for a ride on your machine. If it's filthy, consider replacing it with a new one.

Inspect the Engine Compartment

Take a good look at the engine compartment and examine all components, including the supercharger, fuel pump, and electrical connections. Make sure they appear in good condition with no loose fittings or wires. It's also a good idea to check all fluid levels. If anything appears amiss, make sure you address any issues before operating the jet ski.

Check the Battery

If your Sea-Doo® has an older battery, it may not hold a charge well anymore. It's best to replace batteries every two years to be safe. You can check your battery easily with a battery charger. Most chargers can tell you if your battery is not holding a charge or is faulty. If either of these are identified as issues, replace the battery.

Lubricate the Drive Shaft

After a long winter, watercraft can be hard to start if the driveshaft hasn't been lubricated. Follow the manual's instructions for greasing or oiling this part of the vehicle using a grease gun or oil can. You should also coat the steering post with a rustproof lubricant to ensure proper steering and handling on land and in water.
