Lightbulb Jetski Ad Infinitum

I just wanted to add a couple of points:

First, if you drag the jetski up onto the beach, there are a couple of things to be aware of. There are always waves on the lake (in the traveled sections) and you might find your jetski moving into the water or cast adrift. It needs to be well up on the beach. Second, you will get sand into your intake and should take care to get it out before starting the craft. Sand does not help impellers and can clog water intake (on 2 cycle craft). Sooo...the lift is generally a better choice.

If you do have a Sea Doo with the DSS key, do not leave it plugged into the craft when you are not using it, battery drain becomes an issue.

Have fun and boat safe
