As winter approaches, many of us sometimes put away our summer toys without considering how the colder weather will impact them. While we hunker down with hot cocoa and cozy sweaters, our Jet Skis sit idle, exposed to the harsh conditions of winter. This period of inactivity can have severe repercussions if your watercraft isn’t adequately prepared for the colder months. Fortunately, with a little foresight and expert guidance, you can ensure your Jet Ski is ready to hit the water running when spring arrives. EPM Motorsports, conveniently located in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Chicago, is your trusted resource for making this happen. With years of experience servicing an array of small-engine vehicles, including Jet Skis, we have the skills to guarantee your watercraft is well-maintained and preserved during the off-season.
Winterizing your Jet Ski isn’t about being overly cautious; it’s about ensuring longevity and optimal performance. The sub-zero temperatures can wreak havoc on your Jet Ski’s engine, hull, and other essential parts. Picture this: you neglect winter maintenance, and you’re stuck dealing with a seized engine or corroded battery terminals come spring. It’s not a pleasant scenario, is it?
Your Jet Ski’s engine is its lifeline. Neglecting it during winter months is akin to putting your watercraft on life support. From oil changes to flushing out the cooling system, winterizing your engine is vital. At EPM Motorsports, we follow a stringent checklist to ensure your engine remains impeccable during the cold months. We drain water from the engine, apply anti-corrosive sprays, and much more.
The hull of your Jet Ski is exposed to water and, consequently, prone to the formation of corrosive deposits. Before you put your Jet Ski to rest for the winter, we make sure to thoroughly clean and dry the exterior. EPM Motorsports recommends using specialized cleaners and a microfiber towel to prevent any damage to the hull during the cleaning process.
Your Jet Ski’s fuel system is yet another segment requiring meticulous attention. We stabilize the fuel, protecting it from deterioration during the off-season. As for the battery, we disconnect and store it in a cool, dry place, preventing any damage. We are your one-stop shop for these specialized tasks, ensuring that you don’t have to juggle multiple service providers.
You can’t overlook the accessories, like tow ropes and life vests. These items also need care, and guess what? We provide it. At EPM Motorsports, we offer add-on services for the secure storage and maintenance of Jet Ski accessories, making sure they are ready to go when you are.
