Sea-Doo, watercraft and sport boat, is the leader in watersports fun.

Maintenance Tips

We know what you want from your new Sea-Doo Sport Boat, but it's also important to know and understand what your boat wants from you.

A few words of wisdom to you new Sea-Doo Sport Boat Owners.

Read Your Owners Manual!

It was provided to give you information on everything from feature/benefits to controls and component locations, from pre-operation checks to post-operating instructions and from routine maintenance to special procedures. Your Sea-Doo Sport Boat was built to high quality standards and with a routine schedule of proper care & cleaning in concert with a timely maintenance schedule, you should enjoy years of hassle-free operation.

Maintenance Schedule

In your manual there are several check lists which you need to be familiar with. Some of these tasks are your responsibility while others need to be done by an authorized Sea-Doo Sport Boat Dealer. The check lists cover the following areas:

  • 10 Hour Inspection Checklist - Highly recommended that this be performed by dealer
  • Daily Pre-operation Checklist - Owner responsibility
  • Pre-Season Preperation Checklist - Performed by owner and dealer

If you are unsure of yourself with respect to the operation of your new Sea-Doo Sport Boat or any items on the above checklist, ask your dealer.

1. mooring covers

2. bimini tops

 

 

Proper Care & Cleaning
Always remember that you have a "friend" down the road in your Sea-Doo Sport Boat dealer that carries all the accessories, mooring covers (Image 1), bimini tops (Image 2), parts (oil, spark plugs, etc.) and cleaning supplies you need to keep your Sea-Doo Sport Boat running and looking good.

Now that you have thoroughly read your Sea-Doo Sport Boat owner's manual, you are ready to enjoy your new boat. It is your responsibility to break your new boat in properly. Just like the break-in period for a new car, you should be conservative in the initial operation of your new boat. The first tank of gas has been "pre-mixed" (oil added to the fuel) by the dealer and during this period you should operate the boat at different RPM levels from low to high. During the initial break-in, don't run the boat wide open. Refrain from jamming the throttle forward and caving into your passengers wishes of "Let's open this baby up and see what she can do!" We have a feeling you'll find plenty of time for that later.

Treat your boat like you would your new car. Keep it clean and protected! A mooring cover from your local Sea-Doo Sport Boat Dealer is a wise investment. Rinse, wash and wipe down your boat after use. This is essential if you are operating in salt water. Keep metal parts, engine components and pump properly lubricated. See your authorized Sea-Doo Sport Boat Dealer for the proper cleaning supplies.

If you're operating in salt water you'll need to execute the very simple flush procedure which is explained in your owner's manual. You did read your owner's manual right? If not, stop here and go get it. Flushing the cooling system with fresh water is essential to neutralize the corroding effects of salt or other chemical products present in water. Flushing will also help to remove sand, salt, shells and other particles present in hoses and water jackets.

Treat your boat like you would your new car. Keep it clean and protected!
