97' GSX Winterization? New member. (2) whole days

[james1300]

There must be a good article/ video for the complete winterization of my boat. (I've had it for 4 months)
I go to, "You Tube". Some people start and run water out and call it good. The Factory manual has me disconnecting 3 hoses and clamping 2 of 3 hoses, then pouring RV anti-freeze into the remaining hose.
But the manual is just vague enough, that I'm not sure which hose's should be used. Is there a blog, video or, post that spells it out step by step?

There is a section on the forum that has a lot of basic information and procedures, the "how to" section. This article is pretty much how most of us winterize our ski's. You'll need about 1/2 gallon of RV/marine (PG) anti-freeze, marine stabil to treat the gasoline, and fogging oil.

In addition to this I also like to do what I consider regular maintenance when I winterize my ski, change pump oil, lube zerk fittings, wash and wax the ski, service the trailer bearings, because in the spring I like to be able to just drop the ski in the water and go.

BTW, welcome to the Seadoo forum.

Yep what he said. Anyone that gets frost should run antifreeze thru the system, if you are in an area that rarely sees frost, just have a trouble light with a incandescent bulb in it and toss it in the bilge. It will keep it warm enough to make it through a cold night.

I sure did! I've found that there is no such thing as too much knowledge!
