GET YOUR SEA-DOO READY FOR THE COOLER SEASONS!

Autumn is here but that shouldn't stop you from getting on the water with your Sea-Doo! We're here to help you give your ride the best care it needs so that you're ready to live your best #SeaDooLife all year around.
 
If you’re reading this during the warmer months, these tips are just as useful to ensure you get the most out of every ride. 

GET YOUR SEA-DOO READY FOR THE COOLER SEASONS!

Preparing your watercraft for the low temperatures is imperative to ensuring your Sea-Doo is in top-notch condition for riding all year round. Failure to maintain your Sea-Doo throughout the colder months can have costly consequences - and we don’t want that! Gummed-up fuel systems, battery failure and damage to vital internal parts are just a few of the things that can go wrong if proper care is not taken.

If you consider yourself the handy person we’ve got you covered with the steps below to give your Sea-Doo the TLC it needs! However, if you’re wanting 5-star service from our team of factory-trained BRP technicians, don’t hesitate to reach out to us on (08) 9277 2844 or book a service.

We only use genuine BRP products and stay up to date with the latest recommended products, procedures and technical updates for all Sea-Doos. All service and warranty work is also completed with a complimentary wash and clean.

1. Clean and Inspect Jet Pump

Check for visible signs of excessive wear and spray water to remove any debris that remains from your last ride. Applying a coat of XPS Anti-Corrosive Lubricant to each area is also a good idea! To inspect the jet pump, remove the impeller cover to verify no water has collected.

2. Stabilise the Fuel System 

To prevent build-up, add XPS fuel stabilizer to ensure your fuel, and fuel system remains in good condition. Fill the tank completely with fresh fuel and check over the fuel delivery system for leaks.

3. Replace Engine Oil and Filter


4. Flush and Drain Exhaust System

To flush the exhaust system, hook a garden hose up to the connector located at the rear (port side of the stern) of the watercraft. DO NOT OPEN THE WATER TAP YET! Start the engine and then immediately open the water tap. Run the engine for 90 seconds and ensure water flows out of the pump. Next, shut the water off and continue to run the engine at 5000 RPM for 5 seconds, then shut the engine down.

Drying out the exhaust system is critical in cold weather areas. To do this, blow compressed air at 55 PSI (379 kPa) into the flushing connector the hose was attached to until no water flows out of the jet pump. This will ensure all water has been removed from the watercraft’s exhaust system.

5. Internal Engine Lubrication (Fogging)

Here’s where things vary a bit depending on your model. For SPARK owners, you’ll need to remove the central body in order to access the engine. It’s a few bolts and the process is outlined in your owner’s manual. For other models, the engine can be accessed by removing the seat. Once you have access to the engine, remove the ignition coils and spark plugs. Spray XPS Anti-Corrosive Lubricant (or equivalent) into the spark plug holes.
Next, you’ll want to crank the engine. To do this, fully depress the throttle lever and hold it against the handlebar. This will disable fuel delivery and ignition during engine cranking. While you hold the throttle, press the start/stop button to crank the engine a few times. This will help distribute the anti-corrosive lubricant to the cylinder walls. Finally, apply a small amount of XPS Anti-Corrosive Lubricant to your spark plug threads and reinstall them and the ignition coils.

6. Hull and Body Cleaning

With all mechanical maintenance complete, it’s also important to make sure your Sea-Doo is looking top-notch for your next adventure! You’ll want to use the appropriate XPS cleaning products for your model, that are specially engineered to remove grime, stains, and any marine organisms.
