Personal Watercraft and Jet Skis

The horsepower produced by a 1052 cc jet ski engine can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer, but it typically ranges from about 100 to 130 horsepower. This engine size is commonly found in older or entry-level jet skis. Performance can be influenced by factors like tuning, weight, and design, so actual output may differ. Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for the most accurate information.

If you've flushed the motor of a Waverunner incorrectly, first turn off the engine immediately to prevent any potential damage. Disconnect the water source and inspect the engine for any signs of water intrusion or leaks. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for flushing the motor to ensure proper procedure in the future. If you're unsure or notice any issues, consult a professional technician for a thorough inspection.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was formed in 1998 from a merger of two accounting firms: Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand. Price Waterhouse was founded in 1849 by Samuel Lowell Price, while Coopers & Lybrand was established in 1854 by William Cooper. Thus, there isn't a single founder of PwC, but rather a combination of the founders from its predecessor firms.

Before jet skis became popular, people typically used traditional boats and personal watercraft like small runabouts or canoes for recreational water activities. Some also relied on wave runners or inflatable watercraft for fun on the water. Additionally, activities like water skiing and wakeboarding were commonly enjoyed using motorboats. These alternatives provided similar thrills but lacked the agility and maneuverability of modern jet skis.

A typical trailer for a single jet ski weighs 120 to 250 pounds. The biggest factor that determines the weight is whether the trailer is made out of aluminum or steel.

You must have a Washington State Boaters Education card and be at least 14 years of age.

No they don't. The force of the water against the front of the jet ski will stop it when you slow down. :)

it stops the engine when the operator falls overboard

It depends on the model of jet ski and the type of trailer. Larger jet skis weigh more than smaller ones. Steel trailers weight more than aluminum ones. It also depends how much gear and fuel you carry on the trailer.

A good range would be 600 pounds (two small, one-person jet skis, aluminum trailer, no gear) to 2,200 pounds (two large, three-person jet skis, steel trailer, four full fuel jugs, tools, spare tire, and so on).

When a motor boat and a personal watercraft (PWC) are meeting head-on, the PWC is generally considered the give-way vessel. According to navigation rules, smaller vessels, including PWCs, must yield to larger vessels when they are on a collision course. However, operators of both vessels should remain vigilant and take action to avoid a collision. It's important to follow local regulations and guidelines as they may vary.

Yes, I have one. But the motor mount plate had to be extended in the front (pieces were welded on to mount the plate to the existing mounts in the hull).

You just jump start it.

An orange circle is used to mark a no wake or idle speed zone.

The serial number on a Honda jet ski is typically located on the transom, which is the rear section of the watercraft. You can often find it on a metal plate or sticker, usually near the engine compartment or on the hull. Additionally, some models may have the serial number inscribed on the underside of the jet ski. Always consult the owner's manual for specific details related to your model.

Nothing goes in there the only oil that lubricates the motor is in the gas

If you are sitting on the jet ski, the starboard corner is on your right side at the back of the ski.

In Washington State, the law regarding boating and navigation is guided by the "Rules of the Road" as outlined in the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) and the U.S. Coast Guard's navigation rules. Specifically, when two vessels are approaching each other, the law requires that the "stand-on" vessel maintain its course and speed, while the "give-way" vessel must take action to avoid a collision. Cutting closely in front of another boat could be considered a violation of these navigation rules, potentially leading to a dangerous situation and legal repercussions. Boaters are encouraged to operate with caution and prioritize safety on the water.
