I am a huge pwc fan, so every chance I get I try to let other pwc owners know that if you are skimping on your choice of seadoo covers, then you are doing a dis-service to your pride and joy, and will inevitably shorten the the lifespan of your water craft in more ways than one. In addition to potential functional damage caused by exposure to the elements, you will also allow cosmetic damage to your pwc as well.
Proper storage and proper protection of your personal watercraft is a good start but Seadoos need regular maintenance as well. Before putting your machine away for the winter you should give your pwc a once over. It is best to fix any problems in the fall before you pull out your seadoo cover and say good bye for the winter.
Make sure the spark plugs are cleaned and change the oil. There is nothing worse for your pwc then sitting all winter with a grimy engine. Make sure the seats and dash are clean and dry. You may want to put some protective Armour All on the dash or another specific seadoo rubber protection compound. Make sure the dials are clean and dry. If you notice a water bubble in a dial now is the time to fix that problem. Your local marina will be able to pop the dial out, dry it off and re-seal it.
In order to properly cover your pwc for storage over the winter, or just an extended period when you won't be using your seadoo, you have to determine the extend of protection that your watercraft requires. For example, if you are going to winter your seadoo, and you are unlucky enough to have to store it outdoors, then finding the best quality weather proof seadoo cover makes the most sense.
Storing inside offers many more options for choosing a pwc cover for your seadoo. You can re-use your summer cover or the cover you use to trailer your seadoo. If your cover protects your seadoo, but allows your seadoo to breathe over the winter, this will allow the maximum protection without accumulating damage from moisture buildup.
I like to choose a cover that matches my seadoo. If I have customized detailing on the engine then I like to have similar customized detailing on my seadoo cover. If I have a recreational seadoo that I leave at the cottage I'm less fussy. However I can tell you, throughout all my years owning personal watercraft, I have never owned one without having some type of cover for it.
Take the time to protect your seadoo with a good quality cover, and get in the habit of developing a good storage routine, and you will be rewarded with a happy pwc that will look brand new longer. And that makes a happy seadoo owner.
