About Accessories
Beyond the parts that make a jet ski run, there is the upkeep and handling side: oils and additives, cleaners, tie-downs and shop tools. This category gathers those, and many of the items are general powersports products that suit more than one kind of machine. Owners shop here for storage and maintenance supplies, to secure the machine on a trailer, or to stock the garage.
Three sub-categories sort the list. Chemicals & Lube holds the oils, fuel treatments and lubricants, Cleaning & Detailing holds washes, polishes and filter cleaners, and Misc. Accessories holds tie-downs, tools and the rest. For oil, use the type and viscosity your engine's manual specifies, since two-stroke and four-stroke engines need different oils. Fogging oil is for storage. Straps should be rated for the load, and the listings give the width, length and hook style.
Brands here include Fox, Texa, Woody's, Atlantis and Helix. The parent category is PWC, and for parts that go on the machine see Accessories & Gear and Other Parts. Read the product title for the machine and engine it suits.
FAQs on jet ski maintenance supplies
What oil does my personal watercraft use?
Your owner's manual names the oil type, whether two-stroke or four-stroke, and the viscosity grade. Use only that, and do not mix types. If a product is made for several machines, check that its label meets the rating and grade your manual calls for.
What is fogging oil used for?
Fogging oil is a spray used before storage that coats the inside of the engine, so metal parts are protected from rust while the machine sits. Use it as your manual or the product label describes, and follow the same steps for the cooling system and fuel.
How should I tie down a jet ski on its trailer?
Use rated straps at the tie-down points your manual shows, at the bow and stern. Keep the straps snug but not so tight that they bend the hull, use soft loops where a hook would touch the finish, and check them again after the first few miles.
Which basic tools should I keep for jet ski maintenance?
A spark plug wrench that fits your plugs, a socket set in the sizes your machine uses, and the manual are the starting point. Add model-specific tools, such as an impeller tool, when you take on pump or engine work.
