Tips for Keep Your PWC Running Like New

Owning a PWC at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great way to have fun out on the water. There is nothing quite like taking an exciting ride on the lake soaring through the water in your personal watercraft. If you own a personal watercraft, you'll want to ensure that you keep up on the required maintenance so that your watercraft will continue to run like new. Read on to get a few tips from our PWC dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks for keeping your watercraft running like new! 


1. Consult The Owners Manual

The best way to know how to properly take care of your personal watercraft is by consulting the Owner's Manual. There you will find all the information regarding the specific make and model of the PWC you have, as well as the specific things you need and exact procedures to follow.

2. Maintain Proper Fluid Levels

Just like with a car, it's important to maintain proper fuel and oil levels. Depending on what type of PWC you have, you may have to use premixed oil and fuel.

3. Check For Loose Or Damaged Parts

Before you start your PWC and hit the water, you'll want to do a good once over. Check all the wires including throttle cables and trim. In addition, check for any loose or damaged parts, and always replace them if you notice any damage or extensive wear.


4. Keep It Clean

After a long day of playing out on the Lake, it's a good idea to wipe down your PWC to preview corrosion or staining. Don't forget to also clean the windshield and seats. Although the Lake of the Ozarks is fresh water and not salt water, if you don't properly wash down your boat after a day out in the water, it will eventually damage your boat.

5. Use A PWC Lift

PWCs are not intended to be stored in the water for long periods of time. If you plan on storing your PWC in a slip, it's best to use a lift.In addition to preventing damage, it also helps with cleaning and it makes walking around the watercraft safer. They also make boarding and exiting the watercraft easier and safer for riders of all ages.

6. Remember To Winterize and De-Winterize

It's important to properly winterize and De-Winterize your watercraft every year. This can help protect it over the winter season and can help make sure it's running properly for next year!
