De-winterizing Question....

[Mosnowman]

Okay so it's only January and I'm stir crazy wanting to get back on my Seadoo....2011 GTI 155 Limited...the dealer winterized it or me, however I had a couple questions...

I attempted to take the battery out but gave up because I was worried I would break the plastic brackets. I guess I will charge when it gets closer to the season. Any ideas on how to get it out would be appreciated...I'm a total newbie so detailed instructions would be nice...when I tried before I noticed they did have the positive lead unhooked and not sure but there was another cable that looked like a wiring plug that had what looked like vaseline in it also unhooked?

Even if I end up leaving the battery in can someone give me a step by step on what I need to do to hit the water when it warms up? Is that wiring plug supposed to plug in somewhere and if so do you clean out that vaseline grease stuff? Other than hooking up the battery cable do you just launch and everything should start up?

Sorry for he remedial questions but I don't want to mess up my new Seadoo this spring! Thanks for any help!

If it was winterized correctly, all you need to do is make sure its charged up. then fire it up and hit the water.

You should be able to remove the battery bracket with a ratchet & socket. It's easy to take off and put back on. It's definitely a good idea to keep your battery in a warm place and on trickle charge.

Welcome and I agree with JFizzle.
If you live somewhere that the temps drop below freezing I would def. get the battery into a warmer place.
