Summerizing Seadoo 2005 RXP

[toga456]

I have a 2005 Seadoo RXP that was winterized by a dealership but I was wondering what it would take to Summerize for the spring and summer.

Welcome to the seadoo forum toga456. It depends as exactly what the dealer did. Was it a seadoo dealer. I'm just guessing a seadoo dealer did it, so I'll summarize it up for you...
To properly de-winterize your seadoo, Change the spark plugs, charge up the battery, start it up on the hose to allow all the anti-freeze to not get dumped in the water on your first use. You should have used environmental safe anti-freeze, but not everyone is aware of that fact. Collect the old anti-freeze and dispose of it properly. Remember to lube the throttle body also. Check all the cables and the Jet pump gate for operation. You should be all set after that

You should add your seadoo description to you avatar for future reference if you have any more questions....

Where can i get new spark plugs? IE: are they seadoo specific or can i get them at autozone?

What do you mean start it up on the hose and collecting anti-freeze?

I believe that model has a interloping cooling system. But the engine still has antifreeze in the inter cooler for the supercharger and the exhaust. When you start it up the antifreeze will come out of the seadoo's system unless it is "environmentally safe" you need to collect it and dispose of it properly like the anti freeze in your car. It will kill animals and contaminate the water if you just ride it in the water.

Here is some info on the spark plugs on a 4-tec engine;
4-tec plugs NGK brand, DCPR8E Gap/ 0.7-0.8 MM or .028-.031in.
You can get them at Auto Zone or the like parts store.

Antifreeze

Is it true that you don't have to put antifreeze in a 2002 4-TEC Seadoo when winterizing?
