Personal Watercraft and Jet Skis
Personal watercraft are jet-driven boats designed for recreational use. Riders ride or stand on them, unlike in boats wherein the riders are inside. They can accommodate up to four persons depending on the model.

It depends on the model. Most unmodified jet skis have a top speed between 45 and 70 miles per hour.
Why does your 2000 Yamaha XL 800 Jet Ski take so long to get up to speed?
What is the problems with it?
does your ski rev up really high and not going fast?
if so this is called Cavitation. You can fix this problem by buying a aftermarket Intake grate, or by doing a pump seal kit. Or a new impeller.
I had cavitation, and I did all 3 things. I now have no cavitation and my ski is running very good!
Also if you don't have cavitation, it can be many things.
Servo motor is broken
Your throttle cable is not fully connected/loose
Intake problem
Impeller problem
any questions, message... or post and I will get back!
good luck, hope all is well!

How do you jump start a BMW X5?
Open the X5 hood. Locate the positive towards the back on the driver side. It is cover with a black + cap. Locate the negative on the body (look for a nut tied to the chassis)
connect the jump wire to the first car. Connect the negative wire to X5, then the positive red clip to the positive. Start the first car (if the battery of X5 is really dead, let the first car run for about 5-10mins. Then start the X5. Remove the jump wire in reverse order. Remove positive first, the negative.
How do you jump start a 1998 Monte Carlo?
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions carefully, especially in the + / - polarity matching of the hookups, could result in damage to both batteries and/or burns to your person. Please be safe.
1 Open the hoods on both cars. Locate the batteries.
2 Close the hood on the running car, and move it into position so that both cars' batteries are as close as possible. (Reopen the hood.)
3 Attach a red jumper cable clamp to each battery's positive (+) terminal.
4 Locate a large, unpainted metal surface on the engine of each car. A bracket near the alternator works best. (The alternator is a grapefruit-sized motor-like device on the front of the engine.)
5 Attach a black jumper cable clamp to each location described in step 4.
NOTE: The last connection you make could make a small spark, and the engine on the running car should slow slightly. If this does not happen, check all 4 clamp connections by wiggling them.
6 Let the dead battery charge for about 5 minutes before attempting to start the car.
More details below
To jump a car, get some jumper cables and another car, and line the other car's front up with the dead one so that the batteries of each car can be as close enough together so the cables will reach. Leave the car with the good battery running. Now you're ready to connect the cables.
Start by connecting the negative cable to each battery first. Then connect your positive cables. Be sure to "manage" your clamps so you don't short anything out. Triple check your battery polarities before making cable connections - do not blow it connecting the units up incorrectly. Negative to negative, and positive to positive.
Have the one car that's fine running before making the last connection. What will happen when the last connection is made is that the "good" battery will start to charge the "dead" one, and this will drag down the "good" one. You'll want to have the vehicle with the "good" battery running so that the charging system can help transfer energy to the "dead" battery and minimize the impact of the discharge on your "good" battery. Wait a few minutes while the other battery charges off of the good one and the charging system of the operating vehicle.
The car should start after that. If it sounded like it was going to start and it didn't, wait even longer and try again. Each time you try to start the car with the "dead" battery, you'll be draining the dead battery more, so make sure and let it charge a bit.
Another answer
Jump starting a car battery is best accomplished with a pair of jump cables, normally sold in a "jump start pack", to jump start from the good battery of another car.
It's a good idea to read your owner's manual on the subject. Certain manufacturers recommend different techniques. For example BMW suggests turning on the headlights and blower fan. The technique is to connect the positive cable from the jump pack between the positive terminal on your battery and the positive terminal on the other car's good battery, and the negative cable from the jump pack to the negative terminal on your battery, or - better - to a grounding point on your vehicle, to the other car battery's negative terminal.
Don't ever get the jump cables reversed as doing that will cause the them to heat up so much that their insulation will melt and may even catch on fire and you may also cause damage to both cars' electrical systems.
Make sure you know the voltage on your car, most are 12 volt systems but some are 6 volt. If jumping from another car make sure they are both the same voltage.
Start the car to be jumped from and connect the positive cable ends to the positives terminals of both batteries and the negative cable to the negative terminals on both batteries. Allow the jumper car to run for a while before trying to start the jumpee car.
Another way to start a car that has a dead battery
If the vehicle with the dead battery has a manual transmission and it's parked on a hill, or you can push it to one, you can try another method: with the car in first gear and the ignition on, push in the clutch and let it roll down hill. When it gets going about 10 miles an hour or so, release the clutch quickly and it will snag the flywheel and force your engine to start turning, and that should start the car. If you aren't going fast enough, the engine will stall. Push in the clutch quickly after it starts and rev the engine a bit to insure it is going to keep running. Wait a few minutes before driving off to insure the battery gets a bit of a charge from the charging system, too. This can also be done in reverse, but it is much more dangerous, and it is inadvisable unless you are good at it and actually have a clear spot to roll backwards on.
How do you remove the impeller on a sea doo?
You need to remove the venturi from the jet pump housing by removing the steering cable and then the reverse cable (if applicable) Then remove the four nuts holding the pump housing to the seadoo. You will need to pull on the housing to remove the drive shaft from the impeller pinion, just pull staight back. Once the Pump housing is removed, there is a tool available from Seadoo, with 18 splines in it. Insert tool, and use a ratchet or impact wrench and unscrew the impeller from the craft. Hope this helps.

How do you install a Kerker pipe on a 1990 Kawasaki 550 Jet Ski?
Do not know exactly, but most exhausts are simple. Find where it connects on either side. Undo the bolts, and tubes connecting to it. All bolts taken off, put in a ziplock bag and mark it so you know which bolts go where. Tubes, put like a piece of duct tape or painters tape around it, and write where it goes with a sharpie.
then put the new exhaust in, install the screws, install the tubes, fire it up and see what happens
How do you run a Seadoo out of water?
You need to get a flush kit that will fit your Seadoo. The kit will allow you to run your engine when the vessel is out of the water.

How do you flush 2003 Yamaha XL Personal Watercraft?
To flush a ski out, you need a special piece that connects to the injector port.
This piece also connects to your normal garden hose.
# Connect the garden hose to your part, then your part to your injector port on the inside of your engine
# Turn on your Yamaha, and let it idle for about 2-3 seconds.
# Then turn on the water hose, and rev it up a few times. Do not rev it up to high. Do this for about 20-30 seconds and then turn your hose off first.
# let your ski idle and rev it up a few more times, to get excess water out. and then your done!
**Remember to turn the water off first and then your ski. if you turn your ski off first, and then the water it can backfill and cause you many problems and money.
Also unplug your drain plugs and let any of that water out. This really should be done at the lake so that while pulling up the ramp at the angle, more water will hopefully come out.
Also while flushing your system. This is a good time to get your 3m or whatever marine wax or product you use to clean your ski.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE INJECTOR PIECE! ITS A CHEAP PART THAT COST LESS THAN $2.50.
riva you can find all of the OEM Parts ( stock parts ) for any ski, any year.
copy and paste the link. IT IS PART #60~scroll down to part #60 and buy. Pretty straight forward. Any other ski help, I will be able to help!

Good luck, and enjoy the water!
How do you get your water license?
Most states require some on the job experience before you can even apply for the license. I would suggest some time hitting the books, math (algebra is a must) basic chemestry, as well as knowing the state laws and codes. Then one must take a test to prove he has the knowledge to operate a water (or wastewater) plant. If you pass, the state will issue a certification as a water plant operator. A little college helps, classes like microbiology, enviromental biology, math, and chemestry.
a. A high-velocity fluid stream forced under pressure out of a small-diameter opening or nozzle. b. An outlet, such as a nozzle, used for emitting such a stream. c. Something emitted in or as if in a high-velocity fluid stream: "such myriad and such vivid jets of images" Henry Roth. d. A jet-propelled vehicle, especially a jet-propelled aircraft. e. A jet engine.
