In this video JetBoatPilot takes you step by step and show you everything you'll need to know about winterizing in your Yamaha JetBoat or Waverunner. Winterization Kits / Maintenance Items jetboatpilot.com/collections/...
I discovered there is a break away internal tab in the 16 oz. container so you can pour it in fast and bypassing the measuring cup port. Open the lid and push a clean screw driver directly down in the center of the cap opening.
Hey Will, love the videos, would you consider selling an annual maintenance bundle? Fogging Oil, Yamalube Silicone Spray, YamaShield, Engine Anode, and anything else you'd recommend. I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you!
Will, love the new format and style of your videos. You're even looking pretty svelte yourself, good stuff! Any reason you didn't cover fogging the combustion chamber directly as Yamaha has indicated as part of the long term storage procedures?
It's not something we've been advised as a mandatory step in the fog process. It could be added in the next update though. We like to plus our videos over time and that would be a good add if Yamaha does indeed recommend this step for winter storage. We polled a few pros before shooting this video and made sure to hit all the high points. Always willing to learn more though, especially from someone as thorough and experienced as you Capt. Leon!!!
@@JetBoatPilot thanks for the compliment, but I’m just plugging along figuring it out just like the rest of us, but we can all learn from each other. Yamaha tech bulletin WCA2011-003 provides for fogging the combustion chamber directly. To me it may do more good than fogging through the intake track which is burning up the oil as applied. But doing both is best in my opinion. I demonstrate it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EP_860dB7jc.html
Thank you again for doing this video. Do you recommend pulling the spark plugs and spraying fogging oil in each spark plug hole? I would be interested in the Yamaha bulletin for the 1.8L if you could share too.
You can add that step. Not all will do it but it can help provide a more thorough coat of fogging oil in the combustion chamber. Email me at will@jetboatpilot.com and I'll send you the bulletin.
Will, Why Fuel Med Ex instead of Marine Stabil? Is it just a Yamaha marketing deal, or does it add better protection on the fuel system? Thanks for all the videos!
All fine and dandy but where are we spraying it in on the supercharged if we don’t have the cycle springs port. Do we leave the air filter in and spray it ,take the air filter out and spray it or is there someplace else?
I live in Oklahoma just bought a 18 fsh we get a lot of nice winter days here though. Do I really need to fog the boat if I may take it out in the winter months? It’s stays in my shop when not in use. Also,when you do fog them can I just take them out after winter and run it at the start of boating season?
Mainly you fog if you're boating in salt water or if you're going to store the boat without running at least once per month. If you plan to run at least once per month you may not need to fog.
Hi Will. I live on the island of Cyprus and just wondering if you ship overseas. I'm really interested in a Yamaha jet boat as over here we dont have them.
Not sure the exact interval but check your manual. I think the recommendation is in there. Also you can easily get the grease servicing wrong. Do lots of research before you add grease to that zerk.
This is an unrelated question, but one I’ve had difficulty finding a solution. I noticed on the side of your boat in this video your chrome model marking at the base of the tower is missing a “2”. I have a ‘21 195S that doesn’t have those chrome letters, though later years do. Any idea where I can find those? I’ve looked at Partzilla and other similar sources but no luck. I’m afraid asking a dealer would cost an arm and a leg.
I need some help. I have a 2023 yamaha AR220 with 2 TR-1 engine's and would like to know where i can fog the engine's. I have looked and there is nothing anywhere.
So what i did was just remove the air filter and just shot it in while the engine was running. after all said and done just removed each spark plug and carefully gave it a shot as well straight into the heads. Then gave it a quick crank with out the spark plugs on to get the oil onto the heads and lub it.@@paulkocher3919
The MR1 is fuel injected but i think you can spray into the air intakes and you can remove the spark plugs and spray directly into the combustion chamber
Hey Will, so is it ok when fogging the motor thru the air filter is it ok for the fogging spray to go through the supercharger? I saw a thread where a guy said he bypassed the supercharger. Just didn't want to mess that up
@@JetBoatPilot ok, thank you very much. So this is off the subject of that. My wife was curious if we should pull the interior button down carpets up during winter months? The boat will have a cover on it but will be still outside. Would it be a good idea or would they be fine staying put
@TheJeffrose1981 should be ok buy some will do a deep clean prior to winter storage and then reinstall them once dry. Just don't leave them in the boat wet.
For running the cooling water in the engine you want to turn the engine on first, then the hose. When shutting down, turn off the water first. Rap the throttles a few times to blow out any excess water from the system and then shut off the engines last.
Do we need to do the winterization thing in south florida, new boat owner here living in Miami and was wondering if i need to do any of this at the end of the season, having that in Miami you will probably be off water from Nov to March thats 5 month, 6 at a top and if you use non ethanol fuel that can hold 6 month with no degradation is this really needed
@@JetBoatPilot i did but i dont have the cycle sprint custom feature for it, i was asking for an actual video of how it is done without the custom feature
We simply run the engine/s hard on the first run of the year and then change the spark plugs after the run. Fill with super unleaded gas on the first run too just in case there was any degradation of fuel quality in the tank. Then you're good to go for the season (unless you need an oil change...if so do your oil change after the first run as well since the oil will be nice and warm)
@@davidwiseman3724 I don't have a link to the parts online. We work with a dealer who makes these. You may be able to reach out to Cycle Springs Powersports in Clearwater Florida and speak to the parts department. They may be interested in selling a kit to you.
Fuel Med RX is primarily a fuel stabilizer with corrosion inhibitors, where Engine Med RX provides advanced de-carboning action along with more corrosion inhibitors.
Fogging prevents corrosion / seizing of valves when the engine sits idle for storage season. Blowing air through engine is actually not advised on Yamaha engines. This works on SeaDoo switch but not recommended on Yamaha
I could have sworn I saw a video from you that had a Seadoo boat and Yamaha next to each other and you were blowing out the water from each. Did I imagine that?
@coryeichorn9169 no we did publish that video but took it down after changing our recommendation on the practice. It's permissible on a Switch but not really recommended on a Yamaha
I’ve been looking for that video all night. Haha glad to know I’m not crazy. So oil change, fuel stabilizer, fog, and store the battery indoors is all I need for my 2014 sx210? What about getting the water out or adding antifreeze to the water system?
@coryeichorn9169 blow out the water by disconnecting water from hose and Rev throttle 3 times full throttle. If unsure you can add antifreeze but really not necessary.
We've since changed the kit to include a 1 gallon bottle of Fuel Med RX. The ratio is one oz per gallon of fuel. The Fuel tank in this boat holds 75 gallons so you'd need at minimum 75 oz of fuel med. With the gallon size you'd have enough to treat a full tank once plus a little extra.
