20 Essential Things To Bring On Your Next PWC Ride

[@cap2c484]

Great list. Only other thing I can think of to add is a pair of hose blocking clamps in case you need to be towed any significant distances. 👍

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Good point. Especially for the older models.

@@3ftDeepChannel we put a by pass shut off value in our skis so you can just turn the knob to activate.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Can you elaborate a bit? Bypass of what?

[@daveb7206]

@@3ftDeepChannel yes I wish I could show you pictures , but it basically prevents water from going back into the non running motor when a stalled jet ski needs to be towed.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Nice thinking.

[@benschroeder1161]

That paddle comes in handle for sure. Where did you get those gloves/what kind are they?

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Those are my Sea-Doo brand gloves. They are summer gloves.

[@daveb7206]

These items are for our out at sea rides,,,,,,,

[@3ftDeepChannel]

You’ve definitely got us beat when it comes to safety gear! Thanks for your comment.

[@maxflight777]

The plastic anchor ! I have the same brand, it’s light but actually works well with a length of stainless chain.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Exactly. That chain works well to help keep the anchor dug in. Thanks for your comments.

Mario from 2 feet deep ? lol caught the blooper great tips !

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Thanks!

Hello !! I want to ask a question. 2013 Sea-Doo GTX 155 power is lost and does not start from the start button, there is no sound signal LCD CLUSTER does not show anything what could be the reason?

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Sounds like a problem with your battery power. Make sure your battery is properly charged and connected. If it is charged properly, make sure that the grounds are properly screwed down. Good luck.

[@yalta64]

thank you very much for your response. the battery may be vryatli, the problem appeared immediately, I overclocked it to 70, made a stop and turned it off and it didn’t start again, checked the fuses, they turned out to be whole Before this everything was working perfectly.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Those electrical gremlins are very hard to track down. Do you need a friend who knows a bit about electronics and has a voltmeter. Good luck!

[@mattbucko6900]

I would add pwc insurance as well

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Funny you should mention that. Chris always has insurance, but I have never bought it for the PWC. That’s still up for debate. Thanks for your comment.

[@normanschwegel9873]

Insuring the PWC is up to you, but I would recommend Liability insurance. If you get sued you could be out a lot more money than the value of your PWC. Liability insurance also covers lawyers fees to defend you.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Yes, good point.

Thanks, Max!

I recently had to pull the motor on my 2007 supercharged wake edition to get the supercharger washer out and rebuild the oil pumps, now I get a long beep with the word “sensor” flashing but then it goes away. But it does it every time at start up. Any idea what I need to do.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Make absolutely sure you have all your sensors connected properly. It is very easy to reverse the connection on some of them.

[@shiniquajones2812]

@@3ftDeepChannel thanks. I’ll go through them

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Good luck!

[@maxflight777]

I like the small paddle you show … ✅

[@3ftDeepChannel]

It's not just the size. For those of us who've ever tried paddling a PWC, they know what I mean. It's no canoe, that's for sure.

[@pauldierze6013]

Riding in the ocean, I always bring an analog compass.

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Now that’s a good idea. Although most of the smartphones have compasses in them, the batteries can die.

[@davidspowersport1867]

Nice

[@3ftDeepChannel]

Thanks.
