I remove the air filter cover and spray fogging oil in the intake for 5 seconds or so while it’s running until ski starts chugging and smoking. That way you don’t have to remove coils and plugs. It will accomplish the same effect and save lots of time and possible issues with removing plugs/coils.

Great jetski winterization video! Thank you for using our STA-BIL 360 Marine fuel stabilizer!

Just winterizing my 2007 AT's today. I followed the manual since I don't have a fluid pump. Holding the hose 51" above the deck and pouring pink antifreeze into the funnel until it comes out of the pisser. Never happened on either ski. Just came out of the ride plate on one and nothing on the other. Gonna have to buy a pump. I like that idea.

Good video. I've got a couple of Aquatrax's myself. I might add, I always put 3 stay dry packs in the hull. It's amazing how much moisture they will collect over a winter. And mine are stored in a dry heated garage.

@ARBEE I always did it with the funnel. Standing on the swim platform trying to pour antifreeze into the funnel. Pain...in...the... ass. Got a cheap little transfer pump, drop it in a bucket of antifreeze and pump it through. No spilling.

When you are putting the CRC on the wastegate and turbo where exactly are you spraying it? And what GPM pump do you recommend?
@6thGearGarage
Жыл бұрын
I spray the CRC656 all over the wastegate. Even if you don't get the entire surface, the CRC will creep over time because it is oil based, and that will help with coverage. As for the pump, mine was overkill, but I used it because I already had it. You could use any smaller pump, as there only needs to be slight pressure to get the antifreeze into the ski. I've even seen some people hold a hose up vertically with a funnel attached at the top and have someone pour the antifreeze into the funnel, so that the force from gravity was enough to send the coolant into the cooling system. I've never tried it myself though.

How exactly can damage occur starting the water spickot or water pump before cranking the aquatraxx engine? It seems logical to get the water going first. At least its what I do with mine in these situations. THX

I imagine there is a seal somewhere that can be damaged. The manual says to only start the engine first before water, so I always follow the instructions.

The drain plugs are only for draining water from inside the hull after riding, so they don't matter when running the antifreeze through. I do close them for winter storage so no mice can sneak inside.

@@6thGearGarage I have some people in a Facebook group that have 800+ hours on these ski's. Also two rentals in Florida with 1300+. They seem to hold up good, the only problems I see people have are with the ECM, exhaust manifold, or the main relay. Other than that these skis seem to hold up pretty good. I wish Honda would step back into the PWC game, great machines.
