Many of you have already stored your Sea-Doo for the winter, or are in the process of storing your Sea-Doo.  A very important aspect of winterization is battery maintenance.  Proper storage techniques can be make the difference between a dead battery or a battery that roars to life after a long winter’s slumber.

Reasons for keeping a constant charge

– It keeps the battery from being depleted from non-use.

– Help maintain battery life

– Battery is ready when you go to de-winterize your Sea-Doo watercraft.

Tools needed

–       Phillips head screwdriver, Flat head screw driver or 10mm nut driver

–       Trickle Charger (Sea-Doo carries the Yuasa smart shot automatic battery charger, part # 529035773. See your local dealer for details)

Important Note

–       Never charge or boost battery while installed in the watercraft

–       Always charge a battery in a well vented room

–       Always make sure trickle charger or battery charger is unplugged before connecting charger cables or before removing charger cables.

Instructions 

1.  Locate the battery in your Sea-Doo watercraft.

2.  Next take a look at the bolts that secure your battery cables to the battery and determine what tool must be used to remove the cables.

3.  Be sure to remove the negative (-) black cable first and make sure it does not come in contact with the battery or any other grounding component (such as any exposed hardware) during the next steps.

4.  Remove the positive (+) red cable from the battery.

5.  Disconnect the vent hose from battery.

6.  Install a piece of hose (same type as vent hose) with a cap or a small hose pincher onto the battery to prevent electrolyte spillage when removing the battery.

7.  Remove any straps or brackets that may be securing the battery into the battery tray.

8.  Remove the battery and place it on a workbench or something comparable. Be sure to place it out of the reach of children.

9.  Make sure your trickle charger is unplugged and then connect the charger to the battery, making sure the positive (+) red cable is hooked up to the positive end on the battery and the negative (-) black cable is hooked up to the negative end of the battery.

10.  Plug in the charger to a wall socket and you are ready to stay charged!

Additional instructions – If the battery terminals seem to have corrosion or rust of any sort, use a wire brush to remove before connecting to the charger.

The best way to maintain proper battery life is to keep a constant charge, so keep up on your battery maintenance to maintain that showroom like quality all year round.

There is nothing more fun than spending a day or a weekend, out on the water with family and friends.  Hours of laughter, splashing and quality family time.  One of the most important safety items that a boater, or watercraft rider, can have on hand is the correct PFD.  There are numerous types of PFDs and not all PFDs are recommended for every situation.  The North America National Safe Boating Campaign “Wear It” campaign aims to educate boaters on the importance of wearing a PFD.

In 2009, the Coast Guard counted 4,730 accidents that involved 736 deaths, 3,358 injuries and approximately $36 million dollars of damage to property as a result of recreational boating accidents. Of those who drowned, 84 percent were not wearing life jackets.

“The statistics show that no matter where you are boating, being properly prepared and equipped and wearing a life jacket can help save many lives,” Virgil Chambers, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council said. “We want to prove that life jackets not only save lives, but that today’s life jackets are comfortable, stylish and easy to wear,” Boaters need to be and should be properly informed and educated about boating safety and most importantly, remember to ‘Wear It!’”

What type of PDF is appropriate for your boating activities?

IF YOU RIDE ON A PWC OR PARTICIPATE IN TOWED WATER SPORTS:  CHOOSE A FLOTATION AID LIFE JACKET FOR ACTIVITIES THAT INVOLVE FREQUENT WATER ENTRY. RUGGED WITH MULTIPLE BUCKLES DESIGNED FOR HIGHER IMPACT ON WATER. INFLATABLE LIFE JACKETS ARE NOT PERMITTED. MOST STATES REQUIRE PWC RIDERS AND “SKIERS” TO WEAR THEIR LIFE JACKET.

IF YOU CRUISE WITH FRIENDS : CHOOSE A MANUAL OR AUTO-MANUAL INFLATABLE LIFE JACKETS FOR ADULTS ONLY. NOT APPROVED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 16, NON-SWIMMERS, PWCS, WHITE WATER PADDLING OR TOWED SPORTS. COMFORTABLE, COMPACT SIZE AND HIGH PERFORMANCE. FLOTATION AID LIFE JACKET APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES.

IF YOU BOAT WITH FAMILY: CHOOSE A FLOTATION AID LIFE JACKET APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES. DESIGNED FOR GENERAL BOATING ON CALM, INLAND WATER, NOT FOR ROUGH WATER. MUST FIT PROPERLY FOR SIZE AND WEIGHT.  COMFORTABLE, MANY STYLES AND SIZES AVAILABLE FOR DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. INFLATABLE LIFE JACKETS ALSO A GOOD CHOICE.

IF YOU FISH: CHOOSE A MANUAL OR AUTO-MANUAL INFLATABLE LIFE JACKET FOR ADULTS ONLY. FLOTATION AID LIFE JACKET FEATURES POCKETS AND STRAPS FOR SUPPLIES AND TACKLE.  CONSIDER DUAL PURPOSE FLOAT COAT FOR COLD WEATHER AND WATER.
