How do you store your ski?

Hood off to dry everything out during ride season. Left over water in the engine bay from your last ride gets you a one hour decontamination adventure prior to launch. Over winter I put the hood on because it should already be dry. Never really thought about what would be best over the winter though.

Best do store it out of the weather. But hey, pop the hood and leave it for the squirrels to make a nest in.

Hood on, dry inside, shrink wrapped.

Open engine bay and cover the motor in .

Start with this rinse interior hull,motor and pump then hook to flush kit for motor..its funny to hear some guys wont put their ski in the ocean.one more quick step,but never see salt corriosion even after a sunk ski.

Ride weekly year round and storage isn't a prob, if the ocean isn't frozen I'll be out riding

Hood off during the summer, hood on during the winter.

I take it out of my truck and take the hood off. Storage done.

I cant store it indoors so i cant leave the pole up. I used to keep the pole up but the engine is more important. I set a 2x4 on thd hull at the back of the hood to space it up, then the oem cover, then a tarp. Its very hot here so if i leave the hood on everything is covered with water at all times. Hood vented the watrr settles in the hull. I hate that yamah wont add drain plugs to the new superjets.

Hood off while sitting on a stand in the garage.

On my hitch hauler, fogged out, flushed, hood latch propping hood open, loaded and ready to go for the next ride.

My truck may as well be a 4 wheeled trailer since it's basically only used for Jetski purposes.

The key to corrosion prevention is in drying out all moisture. Most PWC owners fail miserably at this. Leaving the hood propped open just a 1/4" will dry out the interior after a few days, you can close it after its completely dry. The engine and exhaust need a couple of long dry runs in order to dry out, the usual 3 dry revs is not nearly enough. Get the head up to at least 180 and do it twice before long storage.

What is storage? You mean upgrading parts for next season...

On the couches we would get rid of the gas. Fog carb, and each cylinder. Silicone spray over the engine and anything that could rust/corrode
