2. How much of a "pre-ride" check should I do before backing down the launch? Do I need to check oil/coolant every time? Start it before launch?

3. Given that it's fresh water and that I'll be driving up a couple hills when done riding, do I still need to run it out of the water for a few seconds? I've read about the Sea-Doo carbon seal issue (that it shouldn't be run out of the water to avoid heat breakdown) and want to make sure I'm doing things right.

4. Any other tips you've found helpful?

Thanks!

Just gas up and go. You have overthought this whole thing by a long shot.
Check your drain plug, splash it, jump on, take off and enjoy. They are pretty maintenance free these days.
