Jet Ski Advice

thinkxingu · 04-26-2020, 07:49 AM

Hey, forum friends! Picking up the new ski next week and have some final questions I can't seem to find consistent answers for:

1. Does anyone pull their seat to vent gas fumes before launching?

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!
