    Yamahas manual literally says use Yamaha silicone spray for inside your inside your hull for a rust inhibitor or WD Specialist Silicone you can literally blast the whole compartment and it doesn’t harm anything on top of that the silicone is good for the rubbers and plastics , should only use WD-40 on specific engine work but the manual literally breaks down exactly what to use for which purposes and WD-40 will 100% destroy the rubbers and plastics this happened to my brother on his jet ski when I told him not to do WD-40 use silicone and his hoses got deteriorated.

    lol, PWC prices have jumped $1,000-$2,500 each of the past 3-4 years with bare minimal enhancements (sometimes just a color change) in a greed grab blamed on COVID...Now the "industry" is crying about low sales as most people finally realized they were being duped spending $20k on basically the same PWC that was $14k a few years ago....

    I just started riding a few weeks ago, so I’m kinda new but did the exact thing I did with motorcycles. I bought my first bike thinking I don’t need to go fast then 2 weeks later I get a something with 3 times the power and speed. Everyone says yeah you don’t need to go fast on a jet ski, just cruising around is good enough then immediately buys a 300. I find it a little unsettling when riding with 2 passengers and the ski just randomly tips to one side or the other because 1 or 2 of your riders are placing all their weight on the wrong side of the footwells. I usually just throttle into the fall, that’s what I’m suppose to do right?

    Might wanna double check those polls...😂 I don't think it's policy that is the issue. There are many other factors that play a roll. Corp greed Over saturation of available skis in the market Wages not keeping up with inflation Forida insurance costing too much (Florida being the mecca for boat and watercraft sales) The American economy has never been better in the states in the modern era I'd like to know though, what policies are preventing boat and watercraft sales? According to Consumer Affairs it's raising interest rates, inflation and consumer confidence.

      @@watercraftjournal Have to agree with Kevin. The economy has been artificially propped up for years now. So much went in to Covid handouts. National debt so high that we are spending more on servicing the debt than spending on defense. Inflation is eating into the middleclass so much that they are reducing unnecessary expenditures. Say, buying boats or going out to eat. The current administration has been buying votes with handouts. Many states can’t afford the stress of undocumented aliens. The unemployments numbers have been massaged. So many not looking for employment and are not counted. People going into debt to pay mortgage and just to eat. Car and mortgage defaults skyrocketing. Most people are being fooled into thinking the titanic is unsinkable because of the stock market. If you take away the key (7) stocks, the majority that are left are suffering. Look how many restaurant chains have closed. Look how many pharmacy chains have shut down. Retailers are reporting lower than expected earnings. Seems like someone has taken the “Red” pill, and is blissfully unaware of reality.
