How many hours on a seadoo

I was able to get it together fairly easily after I figured out the secret Remember Me? Personal Watercraft Performance Skis. Sea Doo Spark. Results 1 to 9 of 9. Anyone have a rough idea how many hrs the motor will be good for in a Spark under normal use? I would figure around hours with proper maintenance and not bouncing off the rev limiter all the time Other things like riding style and of course engineering play a key role in the life of your engine.

I have heard of a lot of 4-stroke outboards with upwards of k hours on them so time will tell with this engine. Hope this helps. So u would asume similar hours??? Met with some guys in key west that used the Sparks for rentals, They had a set of sparks that Sea-Doo used as the prototypes. When I was there in January they had over hours on them with no major problems! If that's True I will be in my 80,s and IT will at least still be going strong?

Too little use ,you'll get to few years. As long as you do your yearly service and winterize your jet ski every year, then your jet ski should last a long time.

Some brands are known to last longer than others. The older brands that have been out of business for a decade or more obviously do not have the newest technology and will not last as long. Yamaha and Sea-Doo are some of the best jet skis when it comes to how long they last.

I would recommend purchasing a used jet ski or buying a brand new Sea-Doo Spark or Yamaha EX because they are the most inexpensive jet skis out there. Because the Spark and EX are the most bought jet skis, they are getting updated with new perks every year. I have seen jet skis last well over hours before but I have also seen jet skis blow up with just 50 hours because the owner did not take it gets serviced.

In the end, maintenance has a big effect on the life of a jet ski, so just because there is a lot of hours on it already does not mean it would be a bad choice to buy.

This means that it has been used for about 3 seasons already, which in my mind is not a lot. I have seen that jet skis which are maintained properly will last longer than the average lifespan of hours. Again, you should consider what year the jet ski was built and what shape it is in physically and mechanically.

These things are more important than the actual hours of the jet ski. The main way you can make your jet ski last longer even if it has high hours already is by maintaining it. Through proper maintenance, your jet ski will stay in tip-top shape and give you more time on the water.

You may be wondering what consists of proper maintenance. The main things you will have to worry about is keeping up with oil changed, replacing spark plugs, and properly winterizing the jet ski. For the most part, maintenance is pretty simple and inexpensive. Your jet ski is much more likely to be bought if you maintain the outside and the inside of it.

People will be able to tell by one look if you took good care of your jet ski or not. Again, if you are thinking about buying a used jet ski you should ask about all the maintenance that has been done on it. If they have receipts then it is a good sign they took care of it correctly.

If there have been any major repairs done to the jet ski in the past then I would be cautious because this indicates that the jet ski was not taken care of in the past.

It could also just be that the PWC is prone to breaking down which is something you want to stay away from. A jet ski that has been maintained properly will not cost you your arm and leg to keep. It is not a good idea to purchase a jet ski you will have to pay thousands of dollars in repairs for. Repairs can cost a lot on a jet ski, especially the more expensive and complicated ones. Keep this in mind when looking at used jet skis. There have been cases where buying a jet ski with high hours has been a smart idea, but there have also been countless cases where this has been a terrible decision.

To help you decide whether or not to buy a certain jet ski that has high hours, consider taking it into a dealership. They will usually gladly run some tests to see just how much it is worth and give you an appraisal. It is always a good sign if the previous owner is knowledgeable and responsible because this means the jet ski has the chance to last many more years. At the end of the day, you have to decide for yourself whether the jet ski is in good enough shape to buy.

By looking at the history of the jet ski and how it has been kept, you should be able to see whether it is a good choice or not. This is a tricky question to answer because it really depends on what kind of jet ski you need. You should ask yourself some questions like what is my budget? The oil has also been changer at around 20 hrs. Still runs good.

Sounds like it did 5 yrs. Just turned hours on my RXPX all stock with no problems at all just regular maintenance, plugs, annual oil changes, super charger maint etc. Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last Jump to page:.
