🌞 The Ultimate Pre-Summer Seadoo Checklist: Get Ready for the Water!

Summer is nearly here—and if you're anything like us, you're counting down the days until you're back on your Seadoo, carving through the waves on Lake Rosseau or your local waterway. But before you fire up your ski and launch into adventure, it’s time for a little preseason prep.

This ultimate Seadoo checklist will help you get your machine ready, avoid surprises, and start the season right—with confidence and style.

✅ 1. Give Your Seadoo a Deep Clean

Your Seadoo deserves to shine! After months in storage, it needs more than just a rinse. A proper cleaning not only makes your ride look brand new—it helps protect it from UV rays, water spots, and buildup.

Quick Tip: Use marine-safe soaps, hull cleaner, and a good UV protectant.

🔋 2. Charge Up That Battery

Don’t get stranded at the dock. Check your Seadoo’s battery for charge, corrosion, and connection.

• Clean the terminals

• Charge or replace if it's over 3 years old

• Use a marine-grade trickle charger during storage

Trust us—it’s way more fun to ride than to troubleshoot!

🛠️ 3. Inspect Engine, Fluids & Fuel Lines

Even if you winterized your Seadoo properly, you should:

• Check and top off engine oil

• Inspect and flush the cooling system

• Examine fuel lines for cracks or dry rot

• Replace old fuel filters

---

🏁 4. Check the Hull, Jet Pump & Intake

Take a close look under your Seadoo:

• Look for hull damage, scratches, or stress cracks

• Inspect the intake grate and remove any debris

• Check the impeller and wear ring for signs of damage or wear

• drain plugs 

Pro Tip: If you do encounter a jammed impeller mid-season, our Impeller Jam Removal Tool can save the day. [Shop it here – link]

👀 5. Confirm Safety Gear Is Good to Go

Your safety setup is just as important as your engine. Before you ride:

• Inspect your life jackets for wear and proper sizing

• Check that your fire extinguisher is charged and in-date

• Make sure your lanyard (kill switch) works

• Pack a dry box for phone, keys, and ID

Bonus points for adding a waterproof speaker, anchor, or dry bag—makes the whole ride better.

🔧 6. Check All Worm Drive Clamps on Hose Lines

Here’s a key step that often gets overlooked: checking your worm drive clamps on hose connections. These small metal clamps keep your cooling and fuel lines tight and secure.

Over time, they can loosen or corrode—especially in cold or salty conditions.
Double-check all clamps (especially around the cooling system and exhaust) and tighten or replace as needed. It’s a small fix that can prevent a big problem.

🚚 7. Don’t Forget Your Trailer

Your Seadoo might be in great shape—but don’t overlook the trailer that gets it to the water. A quick trailer check can save you from roadside headaches (and serious safety issues). Make sure to:

• 🔩 Check tire pressure and inspect for dry rot or cracking

• 🔧 Inspect and grease the wheel bearings

• ⚙️ Test the winch for smooth operation and secure strap condition

• 💡 Test all trailer lights and wiring connections

• 🔒 Make sure your hitch and safety chains are good to go

This is the kind of stuff that’s easy to forget—until it fails. Take 15 minutes now and cruise into summer stress-free.
