About Other Parts
Other Parts collects the jet ski parts that do not sit under a specific system heading. The listings include steering cables and steering systems, gasket kits, piston kits, crankshaft assemblies, motor mounts, bearing housings, bilge and safety switches, reed sets, grips and finger throttles. Owners shop here to fix a stiff steering feel, to rebuild an engine, or to replace a worn control.
Almost everything is model-specific, so match the make, model and year, and for engine parts the engine size. A steering cable is replaced when steering is stiff, notchy or loose, and it must be the length listed for your machine. Lock-on grips use clamps rather than glue and need to fit your handlebar size. Motor mounts hold the engine in line with the pump, so check driveline alignment when they are replaced. A crankshaft rebuild needs precise measurement and special tools, so many owners leave it to a machine shop.
Brands here include Atlantis, Vertex, WSM, ODI and Riva. For related parts see Engines, Impellers & Component, Body Parts and Accessories & Gear, part of PWC. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page.
FAQs on other jet ski parts
How do I know if a jet ski steering cable needs replacing?
Signs include steering that feels stiff or notchy, play in the bars, and a frayed or corroded cable. Compare it with the manual, and use a cable listed for your model, since length and end fittings differ.
What is a lock-on grip?
A lock-on grip is held by a clamp at one or both ends, so no glue is needed and it will not spin on the bar. It must suit the diameter of your handlebar, so measure the bar before you order.
Should I rebuild a crankshaft myself?
It is a precise job that needs special tools and careful measurement, and mistakes are costly. Many owners send the crank to a machine shop. If you do the work yourself, follow your service manual for tolerances.
Why replace motor mounts on a personal watercraft?
Worn or cracked mounts let the engine move, which causes vibration and can misalign the driveline to the pump. Inspect them at service, replace them as a set, and check alignment as the manual describes.
What does a bilge switch do?
A bilge switch turns on the pump that removes water from the hull, so a failed one can leave water sitting in the bilge. Listings differ in type and wiring, so match your machine, and check that the switch works after you fit it.
