I just came into a 1990 Sea Doo GT. It was last run on Lake Erie back in August by me. This has been a fresh water-only ski.<br /><br />It was cold-blooded back then, but once it was warm, it was ok. I just looked at the spark plugs and they are pretty dirty, so thats easy. It also made a funny noise, kind of a deep mixer kitchen mixer noise (impeller?) when running. <br /><br />In the next couple months, I'll be going thru it mechanically to get it ready for the Summer. Anything I should pay attention too?

the drive shaft seal and berring the old pumps were bad about corrosion and push the housing in to the impeller. remove the pump and change the oil and look at the housing for deformities. rebuild the carb and fuel pump. inspect all the hoses including the exhaust hoses

Jeff,<br /><br />Thanks for the word.<br /><br />This ski's finish is also a little dull. Do you know if there is a good polish out there for this?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />ed
