Hi Sea Doo’ers!
Title says it…new 2021 GTI owner. Super excited. Get it July 5th, so just getting things squared away before then as it was a last minute opportunity on a turned down order at our local dealership.
We are lakeside on Houghton Lake in Michigan. It can get rough sometimes. As a result, we will be keeping it on a jet ski lift, and stored in a garage on its trailer in the off season.
We have a Bennginton tritoon, and are not new to boating. However, we are new to owning/driving/riding on a jet ski. Thus, I am soliciting ANY advice, tips or recommendations that any of you have.
Additionally, I have a couple specific inquires:
(1) I am curious about the possibility of adding a depth finder and gps lake map plotter. Is there anything of this nature that is an add on via Sea Doo and an authorized dealership for GTI’s? If not (kind of my assumption), has anyone done something that works well in this regard, and looks good on the craft? Is it possible, or even practical, to add something like this to a jet ski, or am I in too much of a normal boat frame of mind with this idea?
(2) Also, if going someplace else, given their low profile, would I be better off carrying some kind of small mooring pole and line instead of trying to tie off at a dock?
(3) Any thing else you wish you’d had known when you got your first jet ski? Anything you’d do differently now that you have more experience?
Any, thanks for entertaining my beginner questions. I hope all of you have a safe and fun summer on the water!
