PWC Spring Start-Up Guide
Don't launch blind. This is the exact 11-point technical protocol and safety audit Odyssea Jet and Prop Shop runs on every ski before it touches salt water.
- Battery load test — catch the "zombie battery" before it strands you at the sandbar
- Fluid audit: oil clarity, Sea-Doo coolant level, what low levels are telling you
- The hose rule + Sea-Doo 60-second rule (run it wrong and you can melt the carbon seal)
- Carbon ring visual inspection — the black-soot check that prevents a sinking
- Steering, reverse/iBR gate, and fault-code scan
- The CRC 6-56 corrosion shield we spray on every machine
- Coast Guard safety audit: PFDs, whistle, fire extinguisher, anchor line
- The #1 ramp mistake: drain plugs and lanyard check
- Trailer road-ready check: tires, bearings, lights
The first start should happen in your driveway, not at a crowded ramp. This guide makes sure of it — and includes a companion video walkthrough link.
