Check the Battery

Whether you stored the battery indoors or left it in your PWC all winter, make sure to check the battery and recharge it as needed. If the battery is not holding onto a charge, it may be time for a replacement. Storing your PWC battery indoors on a trickle charger during the winter months is the best way to prolong its lifespan.

Inspect the Fuel System

Next, inspect the fuel system for wear and tear, and replace any damaged components. If you neglected draining the fuel system before winter storage, you should do so now. When replacing the fuel, make sure to choose a product recommended by the manufacturer. You can find a list of recommended products in the user manual provided with your PWC.

Change the Spark Plugs

Typically, PWC spark plugs should be replaced once every season. However, depending on how often your PWC is in use, you may need to replace the spark plugs more frequently. Make sure to choose the correct replacement spark plugs for your PWC, according to the user manual.

Grease the Bearings

Last but not least, make sure all the moving parts of your PWC are properly lubricated to ensure smooth, efficient operation. Use the lubricant product recommended in the user manual.
