The PWC "Motor Hour" Myth - And How to Extend Your PWC's Life

[@jrpat2k2]

I have ten 2022 TR-1 powered VX units all over 1300 hours. No engine issues across any of them yet. Plenty of pump rebuilds and a handlful of starter relays, but the daily use keeps them running strong.

[@Jetcast]

Definitely more you use them the longer they last. Plus Yamaha make a bloody good unit generally. Thanks for watching the video.

[@Spruikermania]

Excellent idea, Nice bit of kit. Saves taking plugs out and spraying fogging oil. I will look at getting three units for the TR1 Engine.

[@Jetcast]

Glad to help

[@markjrochat1856]

Very good video done by you and Patrick. Definitely gonna look into that for my ski. Thanks Paul for the good work.

[@Jetcast]

cheers Mark. It was a surprise to me that they were doing this so I figured it was worth sharing. All of us want to keep our resale value, especially the fishos.

[@scottr3141]

I've put 500hrs. on my Seadoo 155, and run it at least once a week. Still runs same top speed as when I purchased it. All I do is change the oil / filter, and keep the pump bearing greased up. I'm shooting for 1000, or more hours, for bragging rights.

[@Jetcast]

The more you use them the longer they last! Thanks for watching.

[@johnnelson1625]

Great video, thanks for making it. Just purchased a 2024 FX Cruiser HO. I live in Florida, USA and do plan on getting your kit. But I do have another question on a separate topic - I noticed that Yamaha FX in the video was set up for fishing and that it has a Fish Finder installer. I want to do the same with my ski but I am having no luck finding a mounting system. Can you tell me if the mount on that ski is available to purchase? I am having no luck with my dealer in the US so I am reaching out to you for any info. Thanks in advance!

[@Jetcast]

Hi John, send me an email and I’ll give you few ideas where to get them. [e-mail]

[@DoyleHargraves]

I have a 2020 yamaha fsh 190 w/ a 1.8L ho. It was 1 yr old w/ 13 hours when i bought it. Since then, i have racked up 180 hrs on it. That is about 80 hours per summer. It's been a great engine.

[@Jetcast]

They go for a long time if looked after and maintained- and driven!

[@donnellschweitzer8258]

Very great information on this preventative measure. I just wish it was something previously installed by Sea Doo, because I am no where near any kind of a mechanic, and therefore I will have to remember to ask the dealership about it and to install it.

[@Jetcast]

It's quite simple to install if you want to attempt it yourself. I expect that Shoreline would be selling the kit with some instructions, so you just need some tools to remove the temperature sensor, attached the inline unit, and mount the nozzle.

[@marki-p5065]

Patrick really knows his stuff doesn't he.... Great informative video... Thanks Paul...

[@Jetcast]

no worries, and thanks for watching and commenting Mark.

[@simonwallace699]

Great idea. Saves having to remove the spark plugs and spray fogging oil in that way. I contacted Shoreline and they said they make them for the TR-1 engine also, at AUD$200 (supply only). $60 to install, or $30 to install with a service. Seems like a reasonable deal to me.

[@Jetcast]

I use it after each trip now as part of my cleanup routine. It’s at least a week between trips so it’s quick and easy to do so why not! I can hear the difference in the engine at next start. Definitely going to have less wear as it ages.

[@GippslandWaveRunner]

Hi Paul. Great video. So once it’s installed does the modification stay connected to the engine. For easy use of the fogging spray. Or is it something that you need to connect and disconnect after every long term storage. I hope that makes sense. Regards Shane

[@Jetcast]

Thanks. Yes it stays on the ski. You use it only when required: when you’re not going to use your ski for 3 weeks or longer . It’s kinda like what they do in very cold climates for “winterising” but in temperate and tropical climates is useful for periods when you can’t get out on the water.

[@GippslandWaveRunner]

@@Jetcast thanks heaps Paul. Please more of these modification videos. They are great. Also when you get the new ski to do a video of how you launch and exit a boat ramp. How you dry blow out the water after exiting at the ramp would be great. Cheers Shane

[@lmcvb1]

Mr Jetcast do you know if there is a link to purchase one of these. I see the link to the website. I would love to order one of these but i am in the USA.Can you sell them on your page.Thanks

[@Jetcast]

No, sorry. Please email Shoreline Jetskis [e-mail]. They will give you the price, availability, and accept payments. Good luck!

[@lmcvb1]

Thanks

[@Trader_Dave]

This accessory looks great. It's a shame they don't have an ordering system online. I probably won't order them until I can do it through a system. I've had my credit card stolen before by giving the numbers to employees to manually process before.

[@Jetcast]

Understandable. I normally have to cancel my main credit card once a year myself these days! Thanks for watching.

[@chrishobbs3935]

Hey Paul, Wish I had seen this before taking a 2 month OS holiday😢 Do you know if the Seadoo one is that easy to install and if they give good instructions with the kit?

[@Jetcast]

@@chrishobbs3935 hi Chris, I’m not sure. Just give them a ring or email [e-mail] for details.

[@jim-hm3eg]

Another awesome product is fuel doctor I had a problem with my outboard motor dropping down to one cylinder and could work out why I had moisture getting into the motor some how I started using fuel doctor for about 3 years now hasn't missed a beat it disperse water and lubricates your motor I use a bit in every tank of fuel

[@Jetcast]

Good tip. Thanks for watching and commenting Jim.

[@kdawgzilla]

Where do we buy this from?

[@Jetcast]

Shoreline Jetskis. Website for all contact info: www.shorelinejetskis.com

[@kdawgzilla]

In talking about the fogger tube. I didn’t see anything on the website??

[@paulhayes2623]

@@kdawgzilla yes that's correct. You should call or email them. I don't think they have it on any online shop. I do not stock it either currently.

[@kdawgzilla]

@@Jetcast I don’t see the fogger tool on this site 🤣🤣🤣

[@goldlad3875]

Hi Paul. Do you only fill up with Unleaded 91 (94) E10. Its the green colour. It’s so confusing at the pump.

[@Jetcast]

I use 91 only. But after watching some engineering videos I am probably happy to use E10 if its cheaper. Last time I looked the E94 was more expensive. The idea of using ethanol I thought was to reduce the use of oil and keep the price down.

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Why fog a waverunner with FI people store other FI machines and they are fine. My 2005 FX C has 325 hrs and all I do is run antifreeze through it after the season.

[@Jetcast]

The service engineers are seeing additional wear caused by moisture getting into the cylinders.

[@JohnAvantiBK]

Poor design on manufacture. Good video my friend.

[@黃嘉濤]

How can I buy that holder?

[@Jetcast]

The attachment? Shoreline Jetskis: [e-mail]

[@damienhealy6590]

I think this will be a good investment. Very cool system 👍😎

[@Jetcast]

Yes, it was also a surprise for me. After Patrick explained what it did when I was at their shop, I suggested we just had to do a video on it as this could help a lot of people. Thanks for watching the channel Damien.

[@charlesoconnor5251]

Great video and good info

[@Jetcast]

Cheers Charles. You must be starting to look into choosing your retirement boat or PWC now, right? :)

[@NoNopeAndNo]

Great info 👍

[@Jetcast]

thanks again for watching the channel. 💪

[@davidvalens3337]

where can i buy this from?

[@Jetcast]

Www.shorelinejetskis.com

[@Skip11AM]

It's only suitable for NA engines. For supercharged engines Yamaha prescribed different fogging procedure.

[@Jetcast]

Thanks Skip. Good to know. Thanks for watching too!

[@AdamGow-e4l]

You can also remove the plugs and spray down the plug holes.

[@Jetcast]

Sure. This mod however is for the average punter to be able to keep the ski in top condition between a few weeks of being unable to ride. As Patrick said in the video, deterioration due to moisture coming back into the engine is the issue he’s trying to solve and this offers a quick and simple solution for owners. I would hate to have to remove plugs each time. It would rarely get done! :)

[@AlexanderTheGrateful]

Yeah bloodyhell, I rack up hours like crazy on my skis. And always get low offers when I’m selling them. They always complain about the hours, I try to explain to them that it’s being used every summer it’s actually a good thing. But they would rather go a buy a ski that’s 4-5 years older that has only 40 hours, yeah good luck with that lol

[@Jetcast]

yes I hope this video goes some way to try to change attitudes. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)

Links take you nowhere to get ordering information.
