Must-Have Gear: Jetski Essentials Every Rider Needs!

[@claudei6072]

Great list! If going offshore I would add a personal EPIRB, flares, and a VHF radio. I also carry a knife to clear obstructions, and an electric fuel transfer pump to enable transfer of fuel from ski to ski if they or I need to exchange fuel directly from our onboard fuel tank - also helpful to transfer fuel from spare fuel canisters while offshore. It’s near impossible to refuel Yamahas on the water due to the location of the fuel filler. I also carry goggles with clear lenses, and suction mounted battery operated running lights in the event that I’m detained from getting back to dock and need to travel at night. Finally - I don’t leave the dock without a good pair of gloves - provides improved grip and the padding prevents blisters.

Thank you!! Really appreciate the feedback! All great tips!! Where do you ride?

[@claudei6072]

@@ObiSkiTV SW Florida, barrier islands, and the Gulf. Some times in the Keys

[@koatay710]

what gloves do you where?

[@ronm7781]

VHF radio is a must have also - saw a recent situation where the users phone dies and their ski went out - luckily they had signal flag to wave and were inshore but a cheap radio is a must have. Great and detailed list you shared - thanks

Great point! Thanks for the love!!

Is there anyway you can show how the rack goes on and off the jet ski? I like the look of it

[@ObiSkiTV]

I have a video on my channel that shows the installation of the rack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGWbiXl9aMp-d9ksi=ZNCV1W2Lrgg-ACHd

[@ObiSkiTV]

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

[@markmiller3058]

Waves rx definitely has the best spike anchor. The sand shark is bulky and takes too much time to set up

[@ObiSkiTV]

I haven’t tried the waves rx but I get my anchor setup in about 10 secs so it’s not too bad. It is bigger but I love knowing it’s not going anywhere and I can tie multiple PWCs if needed. I’ll def keep an eye out for the waves rx. Appreciate the love!!

[@gerardotorres9963]

I just subscribed man excellent video thank you for all the information. I appreciate it. I had the same machine looking for the go pro holder

[@ObiSkiTV]

Thank you so much for the support. You still have the Wave runner?

[@trishaanderson1856]

have you ever put a SureCan of gas in the front storage compartment of your Yamaha?

[@ObiSkiTV]

No I have not. It would fit no problem, I would just need a way to strap it down so it wouldn’t move around. You?

[@trishaanderson1856]

@@ObiSkiTV No, I have not. I was wondering as I don't really want to put the big thing on the back of the ski for a gas can. But, also wondered about the added weight in the front.

[@ObiSkiTV]

Not sure how the weight will affect it if any. I know riders who have emergency reserve tanks in the front compartment. I think it may be more important to make sure it’s tight and secure so it doesn’t move around. Just my 2 cents.

[@JasonGolf]

Is the 1000a version of the jump battery good for a vx ho 1.8? I have a float attachment for my phone. They sell these little things for cases that don’t have a loop spot that go between the phone and case and a little hoop hangs out the bottom and you can still charge. Then attach any floaty.

[@ObiSkiTV]

Yea. It’s actually made for a car battery so it’s no prob on a PWC! What does the float look like?

[@silversorcerer9316]

I heard you say you go diving at a springs , which springs ? I live in debary area I have blue springs near me

[@ObiSkiTV]

I’ve gone to Seven Sisters Springs and Devils Den. I’ve also hit up other springs as well to go swimming, but those two where I would consider diving.

[@omwp]

I’m curious what In your opinion what are good options for pwc’s for a beginner that wants to ride year round and how you ride.

[@ObiSkiTV]

I would tell you the Yamaha VX is a great pwc for a beginner! It’s very easy to ride and reliable!

[@omwp]

@@ObiSkiTV thank you! I’ll definitely do some research on that model, I’m moving to the Tampa area soon and am excited to get into jet skiing
