For those of us in southern locations, spring has already sprung, and many of you may have already knocked the dust off your winterized PWC and taken the steps necessary to get back on the water as the weather warms up. For those in northern climes, or for those who just haven’t had the opportunity to kick off your 2024 riding season yet, Bob Sudeyko of the Yukon Bob YouTube Channel lets us tag along as he opens up his 2024 season with the first post of the season and prepping his Sea-Doo for the summer.
And as a bonus, instead of checking off the oil change and other spring tuneup tasks himself, Bob heads JetX Performance, in Vaughan, ON, Canada to let Ryan Dalli run us through the steps himself, and to talk about things to keep an eye out for when prepping for a new season on the water.
Additionally, we get a chance to take a look at the catch can Bob installed a few years ago to see what, if any, benefit it has provided in the intervening years, and Dalli’s views on the use of a catch can.
Although Dalli recommends an oil change as a fall-time task, as part of the winterization process, for those who didn’t take care of that step back before winter hit, now is the perfect time.
While many times, when we see standard service-oriented videos, it’s a quick run-through – a few minutes to dump in some oil, check a few hose clamps and call it good. But with Bob’s visit with JetX and Dalli, we get nearly 30 minutes of some of the most respected input in the industry on start-of-the-season steps to take with your PWC to make sure your summer starts off right, and without season-ending mechanical surprises.
