hi

i need to store my jet boat for months.. maybe more than 6 months i don't know..

so i need some tips..

1-do i have to dissconnect the battery? or just turn the main swich off?

2- do i have to close the Bilge Drain Plugs .. avoid dust.. or leave it open for air ??

3-should i cover the Jet Pump Nozzle? and flushing connector also?

hmmm...

also i dont have a boat cover so i will buy or make a new one.. any ideas make a cheap cover?:rofl:

thanks

What up Qatar...
1) Disconnect the battery
.2)keep plugs unplugged, unless you think bugs are in storage area, then plug them
..3)nah...
...4)Factory/Aftermarket cover would be ideal, but 20x20 tarp from hardware store..etc,something of that nature, would also work.
If storage is close to sea water, then I suggest to spray trailer down w/ wd-40. Helps fight salt in the air/due...:cheers:

thanx man..

but i can't find Factory/Aftermarket cover .. it takes long time to order form internet and time for arriving to Middle East..

so i'm thinking of making cover !

yah, mak'n cover will work...figured out the hub/bearing assy, yet...Qatar, while ur at it, double check the leaf springs, also..had to replace mine on trailer as well....:cheers:

yeah i changed the bearing .. and put some grease.. i didnt have to replace the hub.. saved some money

i read in the manual that i have to do many thing for storage !

such as fuel stabilizer, Spray XP-S Lube lubricant or equivalent,
in spark plug holes, and also Let the intercooler drain.

is all that necessary?
