Awesome video.I just bought my first jet ski and I am a little nervous about launching and loading my jet ski and I don’t have any experience maneuvering my trailer my truck does have a backup camera which will guide me a bit.I’m not going to rush it and going to practice in an empty parking lot near my home and hopefully that will give me some confidence 🙏🏽. But I have ridden a jet ski 4 separate times which helps out a bit.Hope all goes well for me thank you for your video

That’s awesome! Welcome to life on a Jetski! It’s a game changer!! Great idea practicing first. I’m telling you it’s the best thing you can do in order to not get nervous when you pull up to busy ramps. Good luck with the ski my friend!!

I used to live on a lake but now different house and will have to trailer. Getting ski this week. QUESTION. After getting ski back on trailer is it ok to drive about an hour home before you flush ski and for me intercooler? So I might have a couple cups of water in the engine bay but what about water in other locations on ski moving about until I get home , flush out, and blow out all water? New to having a supercharger and new to having to drive to a lake. Thanks very much , I just subscribed as your video was FANTASTIC. Just what I needed for confidence

@ObiSkiTV 10 дней назад

Hey brother, yea you’ll be fine. I’ve had to drive hours home after some rides and flushed it when I got there. I usually take the plugs out and if there is any water in the hull, which is almost never, it comes out on the ride back. Also note, if you’re riding in fresh water, there is no urgency to flush it. Some people never do since it’s fresh water. It’s salt water that has to be flushed every single time when you get back. Also good luck with your ski and appreciate the follow!!

Good video! Only thing I would add is always take your lanard key out from ignition before leaving house and put in the little storage unit in between the seat and steering wheel. Lost a key driving down the highway before lest on ignition.

I would mention don’t get your rear tires wet is you only have 2 wheel drive lol

It’s almost impossible to not get the rear tires wet. Especially when you’re loading it back on. Just have to be careful to not go in too far lol

@richardroberts6472 Год назад

The orange handle strap on the trailer winch has way less strength than the big black strap. By looping the orange strap through the ski and hooking the winch to the orange strap makes it so all the weight is on the stiches of orange strap rather than the weight being on the large black strap and winch. Great Video 👍👍🍻🍻

@ObiSkiTV 11 месяцев назад

A little practice and you’ll be a pro. Go and practice on a weekday when it’s empty.

@77rockcity Месяц назад

Easy tip when backing to keep straight. Use side mirrors, and once you begin to see any part of the trailer, you turn the steering wheel down towards that mirror and say NO. It'll be straight. You shouldn't see anything if it's straight, which is the goal

@bobbyj28 Год назад

Great video. I was wondering if there is an etiquette associated with beach launching, specifically at Dunedin causeway.

@ObiSkiTV Год назад

Not really. It’s so wide open you can just pull up and dump your ski.

@gsxjiffy6076 Год назад

No one ever talks about unplugging the trailer lights. I'm not a fan of leaving them plugged in regardless if they say the lights are watertight or not.

True although rarely should you have to go that far in….

@thelifeoffastony1157 Год назад

People still end up unloading, putting plug in , loading up ice chest etc. at boat ramp... Should've showed how to back in the trailer from holding the steering wheel on the bottom... Alot of people don't know this trick.. Hold the steering wheel on the bottom and when you want the trailer to go left , just swing to the left if you want trailer to go right, just swing to the right. But you have to hold the steering wheel at the bottom.

@ObiSkiTV Год назад

Great point! Def agree with you.

@jwilli2k 8 месяцев назад

Whats up OBI! I have a tacoma 3rd gen but its rear wheel drive not 4x4, do you think thats good enough to launch jetski? Ive been seeing videos with 4x4 drowning lol so that gets me nervous haha

@ObiSkiTV 8 месяцев назад

Hey brother! You should be ok. I’ve never had to put my truck on 4x4 on a ramp. The problem happens when people go way too far in and that causes a problem. You don’t need to back in that far.

How to set up your cameras on your Yamaha.

@ObiSkiTV 4 месяца назад

I have a previous video of the GoPro setup I have however that was before I purchased the insta 360 camera. That is a slightly different setup that I will make a video showing as well. The view behind the ski is based on the rack I have and the holder I attached. If you are interested in it I can get you more details.
