A channel dedicated to the personal watercraft lifestyle. Personal watercraft Tech tips as well as riding destinations and, some scuba diving adventures. We Detail adventures in and around Ontario and Canada and some foreign countries on our small fleet of Sea-Doo’s and a Yamaha. We here at The PWC Channel are tired of the same old videos so we are turning it up a notch. Stay tuned for some exciting (NEW) stuff coming soon. See you on the water! and sometime under it.

Very cool. Brings back memories of old cut and the boat houses there 12 years ago for me. You should round up subscribers for a team ride. I would be up for it. I’m over in port franks. Add PF to your adventure list. You’ll love it. Kevin
Great in-depth video, no one has done a better job at documenting the steps to protecting the ski from the weather. Thanks for taking the time. Now let’s take care of that rum and coke 😉
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8EODqu8M6EQ.html HUGE kudos to you for NOT spraying fogging oil in to the air intake !!!. Fogging oil is tacky and after oil is deposited on the fire suppressor (aka Ribbon) inside the throttle body and the intercooler fogging oil will attract small particles that stay there and restrict air intake flow. Also good for you for NOT recommending tenders/chargers for the battery as they Do Overcharge eventually. Simply charge once in a while (every two month or less) to full battery capacity, no need to keep on tender/charger and to constantly push the battery, it will definitely reduce the life of the battery. One thing to mention is not to put more than 10-15psi of compressed air in, though you did say to put a little bit of air. You compressor is 55psi way to much, but it looked like you did not open the air valve completely. This is to mostly protect supercharged ski's intercooler from too much pressure, 10-15 psi is good enough for non supercharged as well, no need to overpressure anything. I don't winterize at all bc I just keep riding lol, but if my ski sits for more than 2 weeks I also use drown mode for about 10 seconds to circulate oil everywhere it intended to be. My Yamaha FX Cr. SVHO will throw a check engine light when cranked with out starting for longer than 10 seconds. Here is our winter riding and breaking the ice. Cheers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8EODqu8M6EQ.html
I fkd up held brake in insted of gas and it started with no oil for couple seconds there was alittle left in there but mostly oil was out you think i damage my seadoo
A little help please,have a rxtx 300 2018 second owner 100hrs i just noticed 2 days ago i have low coola t and day after no coolant...there s no heat warning or any light.Its npt a problem to put coolant in is just any idea whrre it could go.Thank you
@@ThePersonalWatercraftChannel i don t see anything,well i hope not in the motor.Thank you for your reply .I will lool at plugs on Thursday i hope i ll find easy fix.Runs great otherwise 78mph np is just this coolant worries me
@@jaxcamino9356 lift the engine oil fill cap and see if there any emulsion under the cap (coffee and cream color) if you see the oil look like coffee cream your engine have head gasket blown. Also when you run the engine if it has a lot of white smoke same thing head gasket. If no emulsion and no white smoke, check that your ride plate was ever removed and reinstalled coolant can be leaking out from under ride plate bc ride plate is Seadoo's heat exchanger/radiator, check under the engine (inside the hull) for coolant and check all coolant hoses, you maybe lucky and its just a coolant hose clamp loose.
@@garototrilha Hold the throttle wide open and crank. It will turn over but no fuel will flow or spark. Its a good way to pump the water out should it flood
Now I don't feel so bad about occasionally swimming under my old SeaDoo GTX and clearing clogs manually. Not sure how they could miss such an obvious design failure, but it's sad their clogging "solution" was worse than the problem. I hope their Switch boats with IDF don't have this same flaw. Being stranded sucks.
Yeah, I purchased my skill also at Lockhart Odyssey RXTX 300. Lindsey was my sales rep. If you have any issues, go straight to Brett, the owner of Lockhart Odyssey he used to race dirt bikes at gofer dunes. Put a catch can on it to catch all the blow by oil! A MUST NEED! Oil level should be at exact 💯 half way! Check after start and warm(oil)!
Does it matter that the engine was cranked after fogging the cylinders? Will cranking it push the fog out of the cylinder? Sorry if you answered already
Hi there, Thanks for your winterization video, great job. Just picked up our GTX 170'S after 9 months of waiting. We hang out on Harsens Island. Can't wait to get our GTX on the river next year. If you are down in our area next year let us know. Cheers!
@@supergwizzo of course it does have you ever had oil sent out to see what's in it?did a lot when at the dealer to see if customers used syn oil in there supercharged sea Doo and it has a lot of acids in it.
I have been servicing sea doos for over 30 years and have never had a impeller come loose running it out of water. You can rev the machine as high as you want wont hurt a thing. But you do need to have a hose on it and dont run it more than a few minutes out of water or carbone seal will get hot
@@denniswilder3014 Oh, Sure the impeller can unspin. And No, you can't run as high as you want without the load. it can unspin for sure if RPM is too high. Also happens when wave jumping at WOT, the RPM limiter kicks in and acts like an impact drill with fast load no load, When revving to high on the trailer with no load, when you close the throttle, the impeller has enough inertia to unspin. Some times its so bad it can chew the wear ring, in worst cases impeller will move the engine shaft so far back in, it will destroy crank bearings.
A buddy of mine bought a used see doo. Takes on water to the point where you will sink but only when he’s on the throttle. At 9:18 you mention an exhaust line. Think that’s it
At the end of the video you said you would be fine leaving it for 2 years. I just purchased wave runners that were winterized last year and we don't plan or riding them until next year. Would the gas be OK to sit for 2 years? Should I drain the gas and put new gas in them for this winter? i have the 2019 GTI 155, not sure if I can syphon the gas or have to unhook something. Thanks!
Here's my worry. You're not supposed to tow with the engine off without pinching the water line due to the possibility of water being forced through the exhaust and into the cylinders. You put antifreeze in and then chased it with air. What keeps it from going into the cylinders via the exhaust on cylinders with the exhaust valve open?
I have the same worry, but nobody discussed this. I think there is a possibility of pushing/blowing air with remaining water into cylinders if valves are open.
@@hydraulicsBut on a 4 stroke, that's not good enough because the antifreeze would be caught in the valve train and then mix in with your engine's oil.
Did you guys get out much this year? I just picked up my 2022 gtx 230 after a lengthy wait. I will only get a few rides before winter storage so i will be looking forward to 2023. Hopefully you got to log some hours this summer
We are purchasing 3 jet skis same time August 2022. We are leaning towards sea doo. Kawasaki has the 170- 4 cylinder, where as the others that size only 3 cylinders. Any info related to Sea Doo-Yamaha-Kawasaki comparisons would be helpful. And the trailer not sure if available for 3 Jet Skis. Or more trips with single trailer.
Awesome video, thanks for doing this. I'm still waiting on my 2022 Wake 170 but will be following this to do the oil change and winterisation myself (that's if it even arrives before winter!!)
