Body Parts
About Body Parts
The hull and body of a jet ski take the knocks. Latches and hatches break, nose trim cracks, bow eyes bend, and the keel gets scraped on ramps and beaches. This category holds those hull and body parts, along with fittings that pass through the hull. Owners shop here to repair damage, to protect the hull, or to replace a part that has worn out or gone missing.
Most parts are specific to the model and year, such as a compartment latch for a Sea-Doo, nose trim for a Kawasaki, or a rear sponson kit for a Yamaha Super Jet, so match your machine before you order. Keel protector kits fit along the underside to take the wear from beaching and trailer loading. Billet through-hull water fittings are chosen by hose size, such as 3/8 in., and by angle, such as 45 or 90 degrees, and by their function, for example as a bilge pump outlet. Any fitting that passes through the hull has to be sealed as the instructions describe.
Brands here include Atlantis, Helix, WSM, Riva and Blowsion. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page. Related sections are Accessories & Gear, Other Parts and Engines, Impellers & Component, all under PWC.
FAQs on jet ski body parts
What does a keel protector do on a jet ski?
A keel protector covers the underside of the hull where it scrapes on ramps, sand and docks, so wear falls on the protector rather than the hull. Kits are listed by model, so check that yours covers the right hull.
How do I pick the right size of through-hull water fitting?
Match the hose size the fitting connects to, such as 3/8 in., and choose the angle that lets the hose run without kinking, such as 45 or 90 degrees. Also check what the fitting is for, for instance a bilge pump outlet.
Can I swap a broken compartment latch myself?
Often the latch mounts with a few screws, but the hatch has to line up and seal when closed. Use the latch listed for your model and year, because latches differ, and check that the hatch closes tightly afterward.
When should a bow eye be replaced?
Replace a bow eye that is bent, cracked or heavily corroded. It is the tie-down point at the front of the machine, and it takes strain from trailer straps. Use one listed for your model so the mounting holes line up.
