Changing jet pump grease

[asianlink37]

I just bought a brand new GTI SE 130 last August and only put about 15 hrs. on it so far. I was just wondering if it's necessary to change the jet pump grease before this coming season since I got such little use out of it last year. I'm not trying to cut corners by any means because I would like to keep this ski running in tip top shape for as long as possible, but I also don't want to perform any unnecessary maintenance if i don't have to.

Assuming you run with a nose cone on your prop....once a year is fine. If you run in salt...I'd be more paranoid....a lot more.

I don't have to remove the entire pump to remove the cone and swap the grease.

Easy job....1 wrench outa 5.

I have yet to take anything apart for maintenance on the ski. I do run in salt a lot, probably 90% of the time. I live right near the delaware but the water is so dirty. But yeah I'm pretty sure only the linkage arms and reverse shield have to come off to reach the cone. Thanks for the info
