For most of us that live in a climate that has 4 seasons means during the winter, we are usually landlocked and the Jet Ski is sitting around doing nothing. The most important thing for you to do after each season is to fully winterize your Sea-doo GTI SE 130 Jet Ski.<\/p>\n
Many of you will have different Jet Ski models and brands, but a lot of what we will talk about today will still apply. Failure to do an after season maintenance\u00a0can cause premature wear and even damage to your sea-doo jet ski during winter and the following months.<\/p>\n
If you are like me and want to\u00a0save some money you can easily do the winterize procedure yourself\u00a0rather than taking it to an authorized\u00a0BRP dealer which will do the same procedure but charge you an arm and maybe a leg.<\/p>\n
I have outlined my exact procedure to winterize my Sea-Doo GTI 130. It covers all the more important steps to follow. There is a nice video at the end which explains it all. The procedure should be the same for\u00a0Sea-Doo PWC GTX, RXP, and RXT, with a few slight changes.<\/span><\/p>\n Now is a great time to check the inside hoses and bolts for anything that may be looking like it’s coming loose or wearing. Grab the fuel injection rail and check for leaks. Check all of the water hose clamps for tightness with a screwdriver.<\/p>\n Start the motor up and blow out any water left in the exhaust system. Activate the IBR system and lube all the linkages.<\/p>\n Turn off the Jet Ski and add a stabilizer fuel additive for fresh long-lasting fuel. I like to use a product called Sta-Bil. Read the instructions on the correct amount to add. Make sure to have a full tank of fuel for long-term storage. Now let’s get to the more mechanical aspects of the winterization procedure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I consider this step the most important maintenance procedure. Check out this post on how to change the oil on your Sea-Doo Jet Ski.<\/a>\u00a0It’s a very detailed post so you will find out about the correct steps to take and the tools used to replace both the oil filter and engine oil.<\/p>\nWashing and cleaning<\/h3>\n
