Keep your bilge area dry and crack your seat so the compartment can breathe and it wont rust.

bingo. after every ride lift the seat. lots of heat builds up.

after a season?

1. crack the seat to dry it out - in fact, open EVERY storage bin / compartment / area, and leave it open until you ride again (if you have a garage).
2. replace plugs every spring. - 2 strokes like to foul plugs because of the oil.

I'm surprise to hear that they last a whole season.
You can try spraying them with WD-40 or something similar and see if that helps.

If you "sub" the ski a lot then just make sure all is dry before covering.

Yep... what he said. I normally change plugs after a few trips. It's cheap insurance for smooth running.

agree, i definitely change mine too often, actually when i start to see a little rust forming, it means i've been doing a chitty job of keeping my ski up....

spraying some corrosion block helps quite a bit also, my ski gets a good spray about once a month.
