While riding a couple of weeks ago, my brother managed to get get some serious rocks jammed in the impeller. So solidly stuck that it locked up the drive shaft and killed the engine. This is for my 2017 GTI SE (small engine) So I've got a couple of questions... #1 - I'm sure that I need...

We have a 2015 Jeep Cherokee that does not have a trailer hitch receiver. I want to add one to pull a tandem jet ski trailer but don't even know where to start looking. Any help would be greatly appreciatew.

Hey everyone. While changing the oil in my GTR, I somehow managed to dump used oil into the bilge. I've pumped most of it out but of course there is residual oil and possibly puddles that I can't see. In addition to standing it nose up and flushing it, what are your recommendations for getting...

I'm going to be in the Perdido Key area at the end of March and want to take the skis out and watch the Blue Angels practice. What is the best spot to ride to and watch? I was thinking somewhere near Fort Pickens where Big Lagoon opens to the Gulf. GPS coordinates would be great if you can. I...

Hey all. While trying to add RV antifreeze to my GTI with a section of hose and a funnel, just like I've done for the last couple years, nothing happens. Antifreeze stays in the funnel and hose, doesn't travel into the water box at all. The length of the hose is about 5 ft and I'm holding it at...

I'm sure you have seen the YouTube videos of people riding their PWC to the Bahamas. I'm interested in making one of these journeys in the summer of 2020. Has anyone here made such a trip? Give me details! Logistics, navigation, support, equipment, lodging, anything! I would be taking a 2018...

I have no idea where to post this so I'm hoping this is good or a Mod will move it to the correct place. How do you clean your jet ski covers? I have 2 SeaDoo covers that are only a couple of years old and they're getting dingy from travel and the elements. I want to slesn them up and restore...

I have a an oil pump to remove my used oil but I don't have anything that will fit down the dipstick tube. What do you folks recommend? I'd really rather not have to buy a new pump that includes the needed piece. I await your sage advice.

Is there a simple way to adjust the idle speed on 2017 and newer models? These ginormous No Wake zones are killing me!

I'm considering buying and installing a ski module for my 2018 GTR but I want some feedback from those of you that have this feature. What is the max speed you can set for it? What kind of acceleration do you have for the variable ramp speed? Here's why I ask. My main interest for installing...

Hey everyone. After recently having to re-winterize my 2017 GTI, I screwed up and unscrewed the flush port. As it is currently, I have no doubt that it will take on water if I try to float it. My son and I managed to get the threading restarted but cannot tighten it. How am I supposed to get...

Looks like my GTI is a little low on coolant. Is there a particular brand or type that I need to add or will any off-the-shelf coolant be good?

Im curious to see if anyone has tried and succeeded at stowing an emergency paddle inside their jet ski. How have you accomplished this? My thoughts are to stow a telescoping paddle inside the engine compartment attached to the topside hull. I think if I use the clips in the attached link, the...

I like to listen to music while doing most everything. I've got a pair of waterproof ear buds that work great but at 40+ mph there is a lot of wind noise. What do you use?

Well, the hits keep on coming for me. Seems like I can't get two weekends of riding in without something breaking down. This time over half of our tow rope is wrapped around the impeller shaft and at least part of it is inside the impeller. I was in neutral while my spotter was pulling the...

Hey everyone. I'm sure that I'm like most of you and wear sunglasses while riding my jet ski. I'm wanting to buy a pair of sunglasses or riding goggles that have 3 attributes. 1) They need to float 2) I prefer polarized and 3) I need them to be bifocal/magnified. My eyes are getting older and...

I was riding my 1996 GSX on Labor Day weekend. At one point there was a lack of power. I would give it throttle, the engine would rev but no power. Since we had just received 2 days of rain from the remnants of hurricane Harvey, the lake was several feet higher than full pool with a lot of...

Hi all. I'm David and I'm a jet ski noob. I bought two used skis earlier this summer, one was a 1997 GTX that has since passed on. The other is a 1996 GSX that runs great, when it runs. After the passing of the GTX, I have since purchased a used 2017 GTI SE that is a lot of fun and runs...
