Here’s something you might not have considered: improving your personal watercraft traction mats. It’s literally a Saturday morning project that not only adds some very nice aesthetic beauty to your runabout or standup ski, but also significantly improves your footwell and swimstep traction. It’s one of those “you won’t appreciate it until you do it” sort of things that you just have to take our word for.
Prior to only a few years ago, factory traction mats were thin, slick and often flimsy – that is, of course, if they even had mats! Many runabouts didn’t have mats, but just textured gel coat. No exactly comfy stuff to rest your feet on. That’s why a new foam traction mat kit from HT Premier is such a smart decision.
HT Premier has been around for over 25 years making custom seating and coverings for a variety of motor and powersport vehicles. Owned by Hydro-Turf the biggest name in personal watercraft traction mats and seat covers, HT Premier put together this great little video showing how surprisingly simple and fast a new traction kit can be installed, replacing your faded, cracked and weathered factory kit.
