- PLEASE READ.!!!.. AS TO WHY SEADOO SAYS FLUSH FOR A MINUTE IN A HALF MAKES NO SENSE. CARBON RING FAILURE ARE DO TO HUMAN ERROR. AFTER SOME MORE RESEARCH IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT TO DRY RUN OR FLUSH FOR MORE THEN TWENTY SECONDS THIS IS ONLY ONE PART OF CARBON RING FAILURE THAT CAN CAUSE YOUR SKI TO TAKE ON WATER....JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND BE SAFE.

Most videos you see there about reviews of the ski and what it has to offer but what about the work that goes into cleaning it after salt water use. We love to saltwater fish but saltwater will deteriorate your ski quickly so heres a video on how we keep it clean.

I just wanted to say thank you again for making this video on the best method to clean a jet ski. Although I do have the same jet ski as you do, your process can be used on any ski. Most importantly, I want to say I continue to go back to your video to remind myself on what should be done. Your's is the best video out there I have found in keeping my valuable ski in good condition for as long as possible. Thank you again.
@@donnellschweitzer8258 thank you so much for the positive feedback. I normally clean it like that every other saltwater trip and my ski still looks good as new.
This is exactly why I bought a new ski instead of a used one. How many owners are this fastidious? Very freaking few. Good video, sir.
Thank you for the positive feedback. Be safe on the water and take care of thise carbon rings!
Arghhhh you suck for being so right! I planned on getting a used one. What do yall reckon would be the lowest hours that you would buy used?
@@GNARLOUSEhey man, I bought my ski with 4hrs on it and I feel like that’s a great “used” amount of hours. Me personally id like to buy under 10 hours and try to find someone that broke it in properly.
Keep your ski clean and serviced and it will take care of you not to mention re sale value staying higher, excellent demonstation on proper washing and flushing, great job. Ordered a fish pro trophy 2023 and have been told it will be approx. 8 months before arrival.
Greg thank you for the positive comment that means a lot. We ordered our 2022 trophy last year around march and didn't get it until may of this year. It was worth the wait. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE POSITIVE COMMENT. Hope you love your ski when you get it. Keep me updated.
Your comment says 8 months ago.. did you get it?
@@Jpaulsencm 10 months now...
Very thoroughly done, thanks
Excellent video. My 2022 Trophy didn't arrive until October 2022 and is still in the crate at the dealership. Thanks for the cleaning tips.
Your welcome, just make sure not to flush for more then 20 seconds. You don't wanna burn those seals. You're going to love that ski
Thank you for a video like this!
Thank you for this video. I’ve been trying to find a video on how to clean my engine bay because I was nervous to just spray the engine down so thank you!!!
@@ericaclark321 thanks for the positive feedback. I spary it down like every other saltwater trip nor do I blast it with full pressure.
Great video, man! Thanks for the info.
No problem and thank you for the positive feedback
Couple pointers: 1- get a foam gun and mix soap and saltaway, spray the ski, let it sit a couple minutes and spray again and scrub. 2- after saltaway flush, disconnect the water and rev the jet-ski a couple times to flush water out
Thank you
Great video. I bought my Sea Doo Fish Pro Trophy a few months ago. I was told at the dealer when flushing your engine after you turn off the water but before you kill the engine give the throttle a pull for a very quick 2 seconds, then immediately cut off the engine. Dealer said its like blowing your nose.
Yes that's correct, but did they tell you NOT to run your ski for more then 20 seconds so you don't burn up your carbon rings ?
@@TexMexOutdoors all they said the only time you put your ski on out of the water is when its hooked up to the hose and you mediately turn the water on after turning it on and immediately turn it off after turning the water off. You just give it a quick full throttle for 1 second right before. I do it quicker than this video
@@TexMexOutdoors He said 2 second not 20, did I miss it in your video?
@@michaelquirke1281 after doing a lot of research. No more then 15 seconds of fleshing.
Nice I love it . Just got gti 130 2023 it’s just awesome jet
Congratulations!!!!!
So happy I only run mine in freshwater. Game changer
Lol easy peasy to clean in fresh water, that salt water no joke. Once it sets it acts like a virus
Thanks for the total run down.
Your welcome and thank you for the positive feedback
Beautiful machine bro!
Thank you and thank you for the positive feedback
Sweet Video, Thanks
No ....thank you !
Thanks
Excellent man. Yea the seadoo engineers were smoking crack with that inside hull design.
I never have water inside mine. Also helps to raise gate when rinsing impeller and drive train. Also need to get underneath to spray intake
I’ve never had water inside either of our GTXs. Like you said, get under and spray the intake grate, shaft, and impeller, then spray the protectant on those areas too.
Make sure the ski is not warm (just after a ride) i let it sit for about an hour+
Same here water never gets in the engine bay on my Fish Pro stays completely dry after every trip. They ruin the seal every time they take the back cover off so that is why they keep getting salt water inside.
Well damn! I guess i better up my clean game!
Thanks for sharing your video of the cleaning process. You do have a lot invested in the ski for sure. Question, when you're spraying inside the engine can it affect the electronics connections, is it safe if the connectors and so get wet?
Honestly I don't spray the inside of my like that all the time. It's a ski all connections are and should be water proof. There design to keep water from causing electrical issues. I've sprayed my down 3 times since I've had my ski and I've had no issues yet. One reason why I had salt water in my ski was because the rubber seal under my seat came loose and was allowing water into my ski.
What i do with mine is use a shop wet vac and a leaf blower on low to get the extra water out of the ski.
I went ahead and bought a small shop vac . I need to check and see why I'm getting a little bit to much water inside
I use a straw and drink it
Can you post a video of the live well unit inside and outside the hull. I have a GTX 300 and I want to fit one of those on mine but the parts lists doesn't do it justice.
I don't mine sharing my email. You can hit me up there and I can share some quick videos and info on what you need.
joemrios1972@yahoo.com
Nice job on the video. A year later are you still cleaning the engine compartment with the spray hose or as someone suggested just using a can of silicon spray?
Thank you for the positive feedback, yes someone did recommended useing silicone spray and it does work really good. I still do a good cleaning but not as much as before.
Thanks for the Great video just helped me big time
And thank you for a positive feedback and I'm glad you found this video helpful.
Bro, I thank you for the video content. I have a question; 1) did you install a bilge pump with w/a float switch? 2) how to clean the live well line? The clean job was on point, initially, I was told to get off the water run thru a self-car wash booth the 1st hour of the water is critical, and spray the body and trailer down before driving on back home or storage. then flush the engine, then flush the bay area, wd-40 all metal fasteners, spay salt protection on the engine bay,
Thanks for the positive feedback, getting the salt water rindesd off immediately depends how far you live from the sea. Assuming you don't want seawater setting up and start rusting. If I drive to one spot for fishing and 1.5 hours away then yeah I'll rinse it off before going home. Then when I get home that's when I give it the works. I use WD40 on the outside on everything. The inside I use seadoo's rust prevention. For the the first question no I haven't I stalled a bilge pump yet. I'm not sure why I haven't but there's nothing wrong with installing one. For the live well pump I run salt terminator x tru the line and pump. The threaded connection on the live well is the same connection as a water hose. I went on Amazon and bought a female to female hose connection 2 foot long. Connect both ends to , turn the water on, then turn the live well on, and let it run. PLEASE REMEMBER WHILE FLUSHING THE ENGINE DONT RUN IT FOR MORE THEN 15 to 20 SECONDS SO YOUBDONT MESS UP THE CARBON RINGS. IF YOU MESS THOSE UP THEN THE SKI WILL START TO LEAK.
Wait youre saying just running through car wash with your jetski b4 going home? Is it safe for jetski to be in car wash?
@@ia6980the hand wands
You need a wet vac. That way you don't have to pick it up like that.
so do you do this after every ride? like go out for an evening, and now youve got to spend a weekend cleaning? I dont own one, never have, I'm just window shopping, and curious.
I like to take care of what I have. When I use it in salt water I do a excessive clean on every other trip. Fresh water I'll do a regular clean. Salt water is brutal.
We have two 2021 GTXs, and ride in salt water. I’ve never had water inside, even in 3-4 foot waves.
Then I need to get mine checked because I get about a cup in a half of water inside of mine.
@@TexMexOutdoors
Maybe one of the plugs in back is seeping water? You might be able to close up everything, and then spray a hose at different areas and figure out where it might be getting in? I asked a friend that has a 2022 Fishpro and he said his has stayed dry too. Let us know if you find out.
@@stevenrussell6459 sure will because that salt water is no joke.
@@TexMexOutdoors Could be water from washing. I checked my GTX and it's dry in the hull before I wash it. I put the seat back and wash it and there's some water sipping in from the front seat.
I will be using mine in the upper Chesapeake Bay where the water is fresh to brackish. Will I need to do all this after every use?
No you don't, a simple clean and wash. Pure Saltwater will do some serious rusting if we don't clean and protect our ski.
Hello I have 2 questions when you start the jet ski how does it go forward and 2 nd question the inlet where you put the soap does that port get closed off or left open
Ty
The answer for the first question. The ski has a easy to use throttle system. The gas is on the right hand like a trigger. When you squeeze it it goes forward. The right trigger on the left side acts as a reverse and stop when you squeeze it. Very easy to use. The second question the port that we use for soap or flushing it stays open. It's part of the water intake take system
@@TexMexOutdoors thank you so much on answering my question the first question on the cluster will it say forward when your in nutural The 2nd question I was so happy for answering because it came with no cap it was open thank you
@@kennetholavarria8044 congratulations sounds like you got a new ski. To be honest I've never seen neutral or not on the cluster. When you start the ski it was sit neutral by its self. When you tap the left trigger throttle it will start moving forward. To put it back in neutral you tap the left trigger. To make it go in reverse you gotta hold the left trigger and give it some gas. Once you play with you start to get the feeling of it. It becomes second nature.
Where did you get your numbers? They look real good .
After 1 hour of searching my emails lol I found the store that I bought them from. boatdecals.biz/registration-numbers/
I ran my hose first before I started it is it going to mess up anything. Great video thank you.
Thank you, I'm my opinion I would say no but if you keep doing it you'll probably start having issue's. Turn on your jetski first then the nozel. PLEASE DONT LET IT RUN FOR MORE THEN 20 SECONDS SO YOU DON'T BURN UP THE CARBON SEAL.
@@TexMexOutdoors thank you
@@TexMexOutdoors I’m a little confused by the 20 seconds. Does this mean flushing with fresh water for only 20 second. Not 2 minutes? Thanks.
@@alanc6857 common error in what causes your carbon to leak is dry running your ski for to long. Something I learned was Seadoo says flush for less then 2 minutes but you burn up your carbon seal. When flushing try to flush with a overall of less then 30 seconds. From the moment you start the ski, flush, and then turn it off keep it under 30. It will help save the life of your carbon seals.
I am window shopping and educating myself on potential ownership. I saw that you washed the storage compartment @ 12:35 . Does that drain through the hull as well?
Thank you for the positive feedback. Yes it does drain out though the hull. The storage bin has 2 small holes at the bottom. I seen a lot of new skis come out but this one is still hands down the best jetski
Great video, good information. You think that the FP is better than the Explorer Pro? What are your thoughts?
How would I be able to clean a jet ski engine that has slight salt corrosion? I am asking on behalf of my niece she has one and it's only got 11 hrs of use but don't think she has ever cleaned it off after use in the sea ?
If it's on aluminum, By combining distilled water with either pure lemon juice or white vinegar, and then gently agitating the corroded area with a mild scrubbing pad, most mild cases of aluminum corrosion can be removed. Then you going to have to treat the area.
@@TexMexOutdoors thank you 👍
Great video, I would remove the short hose and replace with the short plastic quickvconnect nipple... it looks like it's actually part of the ski
Thank you for the positive feedback. Do you have a link on the shorter quick connection?
@SUV 528 here is an example... www.amazon.ca/Orbit-Plastic-Connect-Female-Connects/dp/B06XTF4N6Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_9_sspa?adgrpid=69592952588&hvadid=310043683127&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9000086&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=8877588879779579353&hvtargid=kwd-298199723685&hydadcr=22602_10308580&keywords=quick+connect+garden+hose+fittings&qid=1685963664&sr=8-9-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExUjc0Wk0yVU5ORFVZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDMwNDMwMlUzQlNYV0dMSzdBNiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDQ4Njc0MkxPVURFUUxXMEk3WSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
Good video. But I do think this is overkill. It’s almost then a boast owner does. Dealers say no reason to rinse engine. Just spray silicon spray on it.
Thank you, I give it a extreme wash every other salt water trip. I haven't had any issues with it but I will try that silicone..thanks
Great video, brother. I've been trying to find one of those skis, but haven't had any luck. Do you know where a dealership is that has them in stock?
Thank you very for the comment. I live in Houston where you from ...most of the mancuso's had them in stock
@@TexMexOutdoors I'm in the Lake Livingston area here. I work in La Porte, though. I'm normally in Houston every few months. I'll check them out and see if they have some. Do you recommend the one you have? I've been fishing off a 2005 Sea Doo GTX for years - both fresh and salt. I recently sold the '05 and was wanting to upgrade so I am looking for the best one I can find. Thanks for the quick reply, brother.
@@MrCrosbygrandpa The seadoo trophy is the mother ship of all skies 😃 yes it has all the bells and whistles but its built for fun and fishing. I love it has everything you can need. I do recommend this ski after 10 hours of break in it tops out around 58 to 60 depending on gear and thats in sport mode.
Have you tried calling both mancusos to see if they have seadoo trophys in stock
@@TexMexOutdoors They were closed so I'll shout at them tomorrow. I looked online and it appeared they have a few in stock - from what I could tell. Man I really appreciate you for this. Hope one day to see you on the water. I'll have some good cigars if you enjoy them. I'll let you know the progress I make on the ski. Hopefully it won't be much longer.
I have a question hopefully you can help me with not related to the video content. What is the overall length jetski to trailer hitch. Looking to purchase one myself but storage may be an issue. Thank you in advance.
No problem I'll get you that info as soon as I get off work
@@TexMexOutdoors thank you also the width. Do you fish out of Galveston?
@@mannysalazar1124 I did but the fishing is better out of Matagorda the rigs are so close.
@@mannysalazar1124 did you get a ski
@@mannysalazar1124 my trailer is 14 foot long, from fender to fender its 5 foot. Keep in mind the ski adds length and width.
Do you wait over night to flush? That’s what I thought you said.
I believe I said I wait till the engine bay dries out before spraying it down with that anti corrosion.
There are 2 holes on the the back of the sea doo are they supposed to be closed
Yes , sorry I just saw this question. If you are referring to the small holes at the bottom back of the ski those are your drain plugs. If you leave those open while on the water you'll sink your ski. You suppose to remove them once the ski is out of the water.
U have a hard time getting the flush treaded end into the ski?
No I didn't. It threaded just fine
If you were only using in Fresh water how often would you recommend doing this flush?
Freshwater or brackish water ain't so bad. When I get off the river I just clean it at the car wash. Now saltwater is a whole different story. I rather try and make my ski last lol
Where did you get your letters and numbers.
I got them from here boatdecals.biz/registration-numbers/
What model number is your trailer? Thanks
I have a 2004 Triton Lt model no sure if that helps. I had my own trailer when I bought my ski
I have the same ski and I’ve never had a drop of water in the motor area. I got about 60 hours on it.
I think those ocean waves coming over the bow has water getting in 🤔
@@TexMexOutdoors Check your seat and make sure the weather seal is on there right.
@@strikepaw1 I did sometime back. The seal was split in half and came off. I think the glue didn't hold so I re glued it back together. Haven't seen any water since.
@@TexMexOutdoors Nice! Mine came completely off lol. It's a new 2023 fish pro too. I was having trouble putting my seat on one day and the weather stripping fell off. Lucky mine snapped back into place though. Had to use the back end of a hammer and press it back into place. I think Sea Doo needs to make a better weather strip design for their seats. It's good to know that your problem was fixed by the weather stripping on the seat. Hopefully everyone else realized that was the problem too.
@@strikepaw1 I believe in Houston I was number 3 on the list when they first came out. I waited about a year in a half until I got mine and started having issues. Good ski but like all things that come out first you'll have issues.
Where did you get the hose kit?
Atlantis A7003 Quick Snap PWC Flush Kit , Black a.co/d/gxYTxEB
@@TexMexOutdoors thanks man
Where did the water go after you water the engine?
It flows out the drain plugs behind the ski
How should I clean it if I use it almost everyday?
In fresh water just a good soap and water cleaning. I saltwater I would use soap and water, and saltaway. Everyday in saltwater. I would at least do a extensive cleaning every 3 days at least.
Idk much about these but definitely want to get myself one, one day. How many hours do these typically last? I read 300-500 hours. That doesn’t seem like a long time to me, I picture about 8 hours a week/weekend trip if you really like fishing. That’s about 415 hours in one year. So if you’re a very active fisherman this will only last about a year?
It really depends on you. I work a lot and depending on the weather and the seas it determine how many times we go offshore. I may get 6 trips in one year but that's only offshore. As long as you take care of the ski it will last a good while.
@@TexMexOutdoors I see I see. You could always just replace the motor when the times to right? Rather than dropping another 20+k on one?
Service guy told me the 2018 and up only need to be inspected after 2 years or 200 hours. They changed the design of the supercharger and made it way more reliable, that's why they recommend just a inspection and not a rebuild like the older models. This being said they last years with proper maintenance, inspections to see if there are problems before they get bigger. Next is the carbon seal that defiantly need to be replaced when you do your regular inspection after 200hr. I know a dude who has put around 1100hr on a 2019 and besides the carbon seals every 200hr he had the supercharger rebuilt after 600hr and it cost him around 750$. The engine is still going strong in it.
Wheres the Salt Terminator X? i only see Salt Terminator.
do you clean like this everytime you took it out?
I clean it like that every other salt water trip. It's really up the owner I wanna make my ski last
What’s the approximate tongue weight?
It is recommended that 7-10% of the total weight (weight of the trailer plus weight of the cargo on the trailer) be on the tongue. For example, if the gross weight of the trailer and cargo is 2,000 lbs, then the tongue weight should not be less than 140 lbs and should not be greater than 200 lbs.
If my math and research is correct.
Trailer weighs 195lbs for the Triton LT
Seadoo fish pro trophy 1,023
1,118 × 10% = 111.8 lbs on the tongue
Why is there salt water “inside” of the ski??? Maybe you have a bigger problem. Ive been in the ocean upside down and the interior around motor was dry as a bone? Please explain
I found out the seal under my seat came off
Ah i see now.
@@reelhighmedia916 yeahhh I was wondering why I had water, I had to reglue that seal back on it was half off you wouldn't think it would come loose especially after being a new ski. Lesson learned lol
Install a bilge pump
Thats my next investment, this takes a lot of work keeping it clean on the inside
Wheel chocks?
No because it sits in the groove on my bed but the right thing to do is put chalks
This is exactly why I won’t buy a second hand ski. No one will do this -.-
People are so lazy I’ve seen people flush it with just water at the car wash and full throttle it.
Can’t wait to buy a brand new one :(
Thank you for the positive feedback. I do my best to keep it clean and running like a champ. It's a he'll off a investment not to take care of it. I wish you the best on your new ski and take care of it. Tight lines bud!!!
How much was your rig?
22 with out the trailer I bought another one .
Awesome thanks. Figured 20 or above. Nice. Cleaning ain’t fun but I know it’s a blast on the water. :)
@@beaulong3270 thank you..after tax and title it came out to be 28 . It's a blast it's the mother ship of all skies lol. We're happy with it. It's a all around ski.
Dude you should never leave the quick connect adapter on ever!
Do you wanna sink your ski one day?
I left the quick connect on and left it on the lake overnight. No water got in! When I left mine I also called and asked would it allow water into the ski and the tech said no.
30,000? Thought those things are 19,000 plus 2,000 for trailer !!
Hell no bro, after tax title and license it went up around 28 and some change. Plus the price went up shortly after they came out. I put 2 grand down and waited 16 months before getting it. Then again I made them add the cover as well.
Just bought my 23 trophy at 24,500 (rounded up) out the door 28 & 30 is crazy
I agree!
Ooof pre-ordered the 24 trophy for 22800 out the door with trailer
Great video but the so called music in the background is beyond annoying.
Sorry about the music....but thanks for the positive feedback back.
30k??? dammmmn
After tax title, cover not included, bumper pads not included, trailer.
@@TexMexOutdoors True. She is nice though.
You dont have to take plate .
What do you mean ?
