Okay, remember I'm a complete newb to these watercrafts. Can I tell all this just by removing something simple? Please inform as I'm curious myself since it it's currently running the wrong oil. I will look into it this weekend.
No, I'm not advocating you should rip your ski apart, I'm a firm believer any neub should fly low and slow instead of ripping and tearing. Your ski may be in need of some service at some point though, I'm glad to see you're doing your due diligence in advance.
If you don't have the BRP shop manual and you intend on working on your ski (even simple maintenance, which is probably all you'll need since it's running well), then you should get your hands on one. Of course just b/c you have the shop manual, that doesn't give you automatic license to reman the motor, but it's a valuable reference source for when you need to perform maintenance.
Could be, your ski was well maintained, and just recently well serviced in the last 6 months or something, in which case you're making preparations.
A few thing's you're probably contemplating:
Pump oil change
RAVE valve cleaning
Switch to correct oil
Compression test ("fingerprinted" for future reference, good to have)
Grease PTO spline
How to clear water if ski happens to sink
I was just curious if you'd recently looked at your combustion chambers, don't rip into it on my account, do it when you're prepared, if/when you intend on doing it. Also, if you ever tear your engine down, I'd like to know how much oil you find lying in the bottom of the crankcase, there should be a puddle of it there. I'm dang not going to tear mine apart just to find out, I guess you won't either, hopefully!
I do plan on performing some or all of the above items before/during winterizing my boat within the next few months, I like doing one thing at a time and then test the boat to make sure I didn't mess something up, doing too much in one shot can result in complication and confusion.
