Well looks like my son just did this to our new ski. He had the hose running, ski would not start, was messing with the battery for a while. Gave up. Removed hose. 2 weeks later we take a look. Won't turn over. Replace starter solenoid. Still just a click. I reviewed with him what he did and experienced. We pull plugs and sure enough full of water. Sucked it all out. New plugs almost started for a second. Pulled plugs again. I push on the pistons and the back one moves down like 2 inches. Oh oh. Remover cover to spin motor from shaft. Front and middle piston go up and down, rear does not. Flm. Just spend 12 gs on this thing. Now motor needs rebuilt.

Salt Away is a great product. Flushing after every ocean run is a must! I use it even after fresh water runs out of habit.

I’ve had a Yamaha 212x boat since 2017. I’ve always followed the Engine On
Water On
Water OFF
Engine OFF

They really hammered that in me when I bought it. And it also says that in the service manual.

However, before my new boat, I had a 23 year old Sugar Sand Jet boat with a Mercury 6cyl 2 stroke sport jet… and I always put the water on first and turned the water off last, and I never had any issue. I wonder if the design was totally different or if I really was risking it, I never knew ? All I know is I don’t risk it on the new boat, especially since I was informed from the start.

I do it very similar except I start by spraying the ski/trailer first and then flush the engine that way I'm letting the salt away work on the ski/trailer while flushing.... I use a foamer dispenser for the ski/trailer and then switch to what you use for the engine flush...

Shoutout to Pensacola! Local here as well. Looking to get my own ski soon

Can you please link the exact hose attachment you have

[stevesantagati]

Good video. thanks. QUESTION: DO YOU EVER RINSE THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT? and how often do you change your anode? and how often do you grease your hubs? thanks

[josephpellegrini]

Can you show and tell me exactly where you plug the hose into

[gantzthegreat]

the best way to flush yer toilet////er i mean ski is to take it to a freshwater boat ramp and ride it in freshwater after the salt ride....even yer trailer gets a good dip

Per accident, I turned off the engine, while the flesh hose was still pumping a little bit. I immediately stopped the pump and start the engine again, and put some small throttle. Later on the engine still started like nothing was wrong. What do you think? Would it immediately affect the engine if something went wrong?

Carry a plastic inlet hose clamp too in case you have to be towed.

Can a jet ski be flushed/cleaned in reverse

[bobbydenezza]

Where do you get that light blue hose extension on the end of the salt away mixer? Can you send me a link of what that is if It's recommended to have?

Hey man, I like your videos. Thank you for what you do. I have a question for you. I just bought a GP SVHO 2024 and took it to the beach yesterday. It was my first run, and I'm new to all this. I bought Salt-Away, like you mentioned in your videos, but when I went to flush it, it didn't fit. Now, the issue is that Amazon will take 3-5 days to deliver the flex hose. Do you think it will be safe to wait until the flex hose arrives, or do you have any other recommendations? Is there someone who sells a different adapter that I could use until I get my hose?

[chadcormier]

Do you rinse the salt away out with freshwater after flushing it with salt away? Or rinse off the salt away on the outside with freshwater too, or do u just leave the salt away alone?

2023 gp 1800 r H.O ? I have this exact ski

[AlienBlackout]

If your from another state visiting say Florida would it hurt the Jet drive to go 3 or 4 days without flushing have no clue where I could flush one when from out of state

[MrBleed]

What is the recommended flush time for the waverunner? I have seen people say you need to do it for 10-20 minutes and others say 5-10? First time owner and would like to keep it in good condition.

Does the little extension hose in blue come with the kit?
