winterizing a Honda aquatrax
 

Need help winterizing my honda aquatrax jet ski's x12r Tips / steps on how to. Closest honda dealer is a couple hrs away then they won't let you leave it overnight so you have to wait around to get it done. Customer service at it's finest.

start it and let it get hot. change the oil and filter. make sure after sucking the oil out you crank it over a few times and pump the rest out before installing the filter and oil. ground out the plugs you don't want it to fire up. than start it and fog it. when you start it to fog it i run it on non toxic antifreeze, 2-3 gallon's. spray it all down with wd-40. change out the pump oil. grease it.

Where or how do I get the anitfreeze in, I'm used to earmuffs. Don't know anything about a jet. Pump oil, draining?

I have a aquatrax f12x. when you put the reverse in gear, look under in back and you will see a hose fitting, about 1/2 in coming out of the side of the tunnel where the jet is. I hook a hose to it there. You need to START it first before turning on the water to it. When you start it, I usually stick the garden hose into a big bucket of water and anti freeze mixed, until it starts coming out and then turn it off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks that was simple enough. A 5/8's hose fit perfect. And their ready for winter.

Don't use wd-40, it doesn't do the hoses any good. Use CRC 6-56 as called out in the manual..........
