Flushing a jet ski

wrote:
We're taking our jet ski down to Florida for a month. We've arranged
at a marina for something like dry docking, or whatever it's called.
They will put it in on demand and then when we're through, they take
it out. This will go on for a month. It will probably be in and out
of the water at least 10 times.

I know that salt water has a corrosive effect on the ski. My question
is if one month's worth of time in and out of salt water is cause for
us to flush it every time we take it out, or if it is safe to merely
flush it at the end when we head back home.

Thanks, Michael

PWC's have to be flushed after every salt-water use, that's what all
owners do and what all owner's manuals and purchase-time run-throughs
instruct. It's not a hassle at all, takes five minutes. Better than
on-demand hauling and launching, I'd recommend looking into a marina,
there must be many, that have drive-on jet-docks availalbe you can park
your 'ski on while you keep it with them, maybe you could rent one long
time (look into pwc dealerships or rental outfits, maybe you could work
something out). If they have a water hook-up near the docks then you
can really easily drive the 'ski onto the jet-dock, flush it out and
wash/spray it down after every use and just push it back into the water
the next morning or next outing.
