Jet Ski Service: Why Regular Maintenance Saves You Time and Money on the Water
Share
If you own a jet ski, you know there’s nothing like the thrill of ripping through the water — until it won’t start, runs rough, or worse… leaves you stranded. That’s why staying on top of your jet ski service schedule is critical to keeping the good times rolling.
What Is a Jet Ski Service?
A jet ski service is a full inspection and tune-up of your personal watercraft (PWC), designed to keep it running at peak performance. This usually includes:
- Oil and filter change (4-stroke engines)
- Spark plug inspection or replacement
- Fuel system inspection
- Battery test and charge
- Impeller and wear ring inspection
- Hull and pump cleaning
- Diagnostic scan (for newer models)
Why Routine Service Matters
Just like your car, your jet ski needs regular care to avoid costly breakdowns. Saltwater corrosion, fuel issues, clogged intakes, and overheating are all common — but preventable — problems.
Ignoring regular jet ski maintenance can lead to:
- Poor acceleration or top speed
- Starting issues
- Engine overheating
- Supercharger failure (on boosted models)
- Complete engine rebuilds (yes, we’ve seen it)
How Often Should You Service a Jet Ski?
At JV Motorsports, we recommend:
- Every 50 hours of use
- At least once a year, even if barely used
Rental fleet? Heavy weekend rider? You’ll want to come in more often.
4-Stroke vs. 2-Stroke Jet Ski Service
We specialize in 4-stroke jet ski service, which has become the standard for performance and longevity. These machines are more powerful and efficient, but they also demand more attention to oil changes, superchargers, and cooling systems.
Still riding a 2-stroke? No worries — we service those too. But parts are becoming harder to find, and many manufacturers no longer support them.
