Personal Watercraft Insurance,Preparing for Boating, Check The Engine.
Check The Engine. Now is the time for a spring tune-up. Check the oil (out-drive as well) and change it now if it wasn’t done in the fall. Test the battery to confirm it is fine, make certain the cooling system is filled, and change the fuel filter if necessary.
Examine the fuel lines and cooling system hoses for cracks and make sure the strainer for the cooling system has been emptied. Check the distributor for corrosion and all of the boat’s belts for wear. If a belt is worn out, it will be loose and may have black soot near the pulley.
