jet ski storage

RUGMAN · 08-30-2021, 07:36 PM

This year I have the opportunity to store my jet ski in my heated garage, do I need to winterize , as in the past i had a local marina winterize and store for a price.

Did that for years...just used a battery tender

Personally I would run antifreeze through the cooling system but I am cautious.

Adding stabill to fuel tank, should I use red or blue?

Personally, I prefer Seafoam for winter storage of my PWCs.

I have a 2002 GTX 4-Tec with a 1,500 cc engine. This is a closed loop 4 stroke, only open loop cooling systems can/need to be flushed (such as my 1996 GTX).

To winterize my 2002 GTX 4-Tec, I do the following:

Add Seafoam to the gas...it is a good idea to have a full tank to prevent moisture accumulation.
Remove the battery and place it on a battery tender.
Inspect the PWC (hoses, engine, hull) note anything that might need to be replaced or repaired.
Clean the PWC thoroughly and wax, if necessary.
Put Armour All on the seats.

I do flush the cooling system of the 1996 GTX with propylene glycol.
