how do I change the pump oil in my jet ski and does it have to have antifreeze installed for storageI am winterizing my kawasaki jet ski?
You really need to give more information with this question. Year make and model would help. It would especially be helpful if you explained whether it's a two cycle or four cycle engine. Here goes a try at an answer anyway. Here's a link to a forum down below on how to winterize a kawasaki 650 jet ski. To remove the oil, on a 4 cycle, you'll need a suction pump to suck out the old oil. The website suggests leaving out the spark plugs after fogging and putting a 50-50 antifreeze mix into the engine. I think it makes a lot more sense to raise the front of the ski and simply drain all the water out of the engine before storage, and to fog the carbuerator until the engine stalls, then remove the plugs, fog the cylinders and put the plugs back in for the winter. The suggestion about adding a fuel stabilizer makes a lot of sense too.
If you have the owner's manual, it will probably tell you exactly how to winterize your jet ski.
There was also another piece of information you failed to give with your question. Your location. Needless to say, if you live in the south or on the west coast you really won't need any antifreeze, and all you really want to do is to do a normal oil change and make sure the fuel in the tank is fresh.
Good luck.
