I love riding my ski in the ocean. There is one downside though . . . the salt. What do I do to take care of my Yamaha Waverunner after riding in salt water? Watch the video and find out.
Also please comment below on what you do.
If you also want to know where you can buy the Salt Away that I used, click the link below.

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.

If you ever want to come down and do a ride with the Ski Riders of North Florida come on down!!!

Sounds fun. Is there a page where you have a schedule of dates you will be riding?

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.

Great information for the person just getting into the PWC life and a great reminder to us all!

I also spray the inside compartment with the salt-away and stick the hose all around the rear of the ski and jet pump components

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

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

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

As a new Ski owner, I greatly appreciate all of your informative videos; makes new ownership a lot easier. Any particular soap and wax you recommend for afterwards?

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

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

Do you spray with yamalube or any such anti corrosive in the engine?

@samelgore7575 Жыл бұрын

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!

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

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.

@ATVjunkie450r Жыл бұрын

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

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

@@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.

Thanks! You know, I did power wash my driveway a while back. It looked good for a few months and went right back to being dirty. I just gave it up at that point. 🤣

Any suggestions for cleaning the mats on top deck ? Almost like lint sticks to it?

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are so right. I sometimes use a pressure washer but be careful about how high you set the Psi. You don't want to damage it.

@dcspence1 Жыл бұрын

Used a sticky lint roller- top deck looks like new!

@Trader_Dave Жыл бұрын

A high powered leaf backpack blower will dry and also take that lint off. That's what I use.

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.

I use salt away and live in Gulf Shores area Foley Alabama was wondering where do you get a short hose to connect to the salt away solution and your ski had mine for a year now and don’t think I’m getting all the salt out can you help Thank you

@TheShipsLogg Жыл бұрын

I took an old hose and cut it to about 3 feet and added a connector that I bought from Home Depot.
