My dealer says to give the engine a few revs after rinsing the engine and the water is off, to push out any leftover water, said you always want the engine dry inside when storing

Good idea. Especially if you are going to store it long term.

Another great video...one quick question, do you flush the engine with fresh water after you flushed it with salt-away? thanks
@winstonsmith4003
Жыл бұрын
I personally do. The dealer also said to put a dime size of dawn dish soap in the spray container and run that through the engine. Says dawn helps clean out the engine. He could be messing with me, but I think he's serious!

Yes, I do. The nice thing about the salt away set up is you can turn off the solution and let fresh water flow through for a while before finishing.

Not trying to step on his toes, but per the manufacturer, your final flush should be with salt away as it leaves a coating on the inside to prevent corrosion. Do with this information as you please, ride safe👍🤘 **EDIT** sorry, this is what Kawasaki told me, not Yamaha

@@ATVjunkie450r you are correct. The instructions do say that. Flushing it with fresh water afterwards is a personal choice. I would consider doing differently if I rode in salt water often but most of my riding is in fresh water.

I also recommend drying the ski with a leaf blower. Especially the impeller area because it will hold a lot of water. It's a lot faster than towel drying. Take your yamalube and spray metal components in the impeller area after every ride. I'm not saying the actual propeller, but all of the bolts and steering mechanisms that sit in the salt water.

Also, when your finished, pour a tablespoon of dawn into the hull near the jet pump. No matter what you do, humidity will cause residual water to settle and nobody want fungus in thier ski.

What I typically do is open the drain plugs and tilt the front of the ski up so any residual water runs out.

I haven't taken my Waverunner out in the ocean yet and not sure that I will. If I did wouldn't the best way to flush it out to be put it in a local Lake and run it on the way home from the ocean?
@TheShipsLogg
Жыл бұрын
A lot of people do that with their boats and skis. That works pretty well but a salt neutralizer literally chemically counteracts the effects of the salt. This is a much better solution because salt literally will get stuck in the small areas and not rinse out easily.

Any good car soap will do. I also like to use a good ceramic spray to protect it . It goes on easy and makes quick work of keeping your ski looking good
