      The blue whale experience was unbelievable! When it came out of water, it was like a mountain rising up!
      I did not have my camera that day. I only got to video the gray whale!

      Thanks dude!

          What silicone spray do you guys recommend? Evidently CRC silcone spray eats paint. I've also used "3-in-one 10041 Professional Silicone Spray Lubricant, 11 oz"
          Should I just go with the YamaLube spray, or the Fluid Film spray?

            Go with FF. It does it all. Its also awesome on paint. I sometimes shine my ski with it.

              I'm a saltwater rider. The ski cools down on the way home from the ramp (about a 30 time lapse between shutting down and washing her out). I take out my plugs, tilt the trailer, wash the inside of the hull with a slow/steady stream of freshwater to get the saltwater out (bc my ride plate mounts leak a little). Then I plug the hose in and wash her out. After that, the engine bay gets a nice layer of WD-40. I always let it dry with the seat off. 10yrs of this and its worked for me

                    +100000 I just bought 3 cans so I should be good to go. I used WD40 in the past. I could not find that extended 4-way spray nozzle though.

                            Thanks for the video captain reza. Today I bought my first jet ski. I plan on only using it in fresh water. Will I need to run water through it after I am done riding, or is that only for saltwater riding?

                              Please do flush it after lake water run also! Some lakes have really hard water and you can build up lots of calcification! I think its always good to flush, you just wont need salt-away and all that stuff that makes it more expensive! Just 5-6 min of fresh water and you are set!

                                Gents,

                                After doing the post ride maintenance video, I did get many requests for oil change!

                                This video was not as easy to do as the first one, why? Well, here's the story
                                The evening before this video, there was a gentleman who was riding his bike with his son. He saw me working on my ski and stopped by to say he has one just like it! One conversation led to another and I noticed he had not changed his oil for over 2 years! He's a lake rider. So I offered to help him. Told him to be at my house around 2 as it is when I get back from ocean ride! The moment I got home, he was there waiting! I ended up putting everything aside and start helping him in my wetsuit! I didn't like how that video went so I did my own ski oil change right after combining both clips!

                                So there are some wording/past/future tense vocabulary mistakes as I didn't know which part of the video will go where, but nothing too serious...

                                Hope this helps those who want to do it themselves!
