NEWBIE: Just bought my first jet boat...what now

[esloboda]

Hey guys, just bought a Sea-Doo Challenger (year 2000) that apparently has been properly stored and had the carbs re-built last year. My question is when the weather warms up what are the top things i need to do as a new owner. I.e. ensure certain things are checked out/replaced?

Since it is new to you, you will want to get the battery load tested and make sure it is good. Look for any corrosion in general and in particular, anywhere the wires are bolted to the block, battery and things to that nature. Make sure all lights are working and go over the trailer very well. Just go over the boat front to back and look for anything that doesn't look right.. Ask any questions as you go..

With the trailer, you will want to pull the hubs and check the bearings and races very well. Repack the bearings and put it back together..
