Good video! Only thing I would add is always take your lanard key out from ignition before leaving house and put in the little storage unit in between the seat and steering wheel. Lost a key driving down the highway before lest on ignition.

Awesome video.I just bought my first jet ski and I am a little nervous about launching and loading my jet ski and I don’t have any experience maneuvering my trailer my truck does have a backup camera which will guide me a bit.I’m not going to rush it and going to practice in an empty parking lot near my home and hopefully that will give me some confidence 🙏🏽. But I have ridden a jet ski 4 separate times which helps out a bit.Hope all goes well for me thank you for your video

The orange handle strap on the trailer winch has way less strength than the big black strap. By looping the orange strap through the ski and hooking the winch to the orange strap makes it so all the weight is on the stiches of orange strap rather than the weight being on the large black strap and winch. Great Video 👍👍🍻🍻

@77rockcity Ай бұрын

Easy tip when backing to keep straight. Use side mirrors, and once you begin to see any part of the trailer, you turn the steering wheel down towards that mirror and say NO. It'll be straight. You shouldn't see anything if it's straight, which is the goal

I used to live on a lake but now different house and will have to trailer. Getting ski this week. QUESTION. After getting ski back on trailer is it ok to drive about an hour home before you flush ski and for me intercooler? So I might have a couple cups of water in the engine bay but what about water in other locations on ski moving about until I get home , flush out, and blow out all water? New to having a supercharger and new to having to drive to a lake. Thanks very much , I just subscribed as your video was FANTASTIC. Just what I needed for confidence

@ObiSkiTV 12 күн бұрын

Hey brother, yea you’ll be fine. I’ve had to drive hours home after some rides and flushed it when I got there. I usually take the plugs out and if there is any water in the hull, which is almost never, it comes out on the ride back. Also note, if you’re riding in fresh water, there is no urgency to flush it. Some people never do since it’s fresh water. It’s salt water that has to be flushed every single time when you get back. Also good luck with your ski and appreciate the follow!!

People still end up unloading, putting plug in , loading up ice chest etc. at boat ramp... Should've showed how to back in the trailer from holding the steering wheel on the bottom... Alot of people don't know this trick.. Hold the steering wheel on the bottom and when you want the trailer to go left , just swing to the left if you want trailer to go right, just swing to the right. But you have to hold the steering wheel at the bottom.

I have a previous video of the GoPro setup I have however that was before I purchased the insta 360 camera. That is a slightly different setup that I will make a video showing as well. The view behind the ski is based on the rack I have and the holder I attached. If you are interested in it I can get you more details.
