To perform routine maintenance, regularly check and change the engine oil, inspect and clean the spark plugs, check the battery, and inspect the hull and impeller for damage. Additionally, flush the cooling system with fresh water after each use in saltwater.
If experiencing power loss, check the fuel system for blockages, inspect the air filter, and ensure the spark plugs are in good condition. It's also important to verify that the impeller and jet pump are free from debris.
First, check the cooling system for clogs or leaks. Ensure the intake grate is not obstructed and that the impeller is functioning properly. Flushing the system with fresh water can help remove salt and debris buildup.
To store your Waverunner, clean and dry the unit thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and cover the Waverunner to protect it from dust and moisture.
To reset the maintenance reminder, turn the ignition on, press and hold the "Mode" button until the maintenance screen appears, and then hold the "Set" button until the reminder resets.
Yamaha recommends using Yamalube 4W 10W-40 oil for optimal performance in a 2017 FX SVHO Waverunner. This oil is specifically formulated for marine engines.
If the Waverunner is not starting, check the battery charge and connections, inspect the kill switch and lanyard, and ensure there is fuel in the tank. If the issue persists, examine the starter motor and ignition system.
Use the electronic trim control located on the handlebars. Adjust the trim to a higher position for a smoother ride in rough waters or lower it for improved acceleration and speed in calm waters.
Signs of a worn-out impeller include reduced acceleration, unusual vibrations, and a decrease in top speed. Inspect the impeller for any signs of damage or wear and replace it if necessary.
It's recommended to service your Waverunner every 50 hours of operation or at least once per year. Regular servicing includes checking the engine, electrical systems, and hull integrity to ensure optimal performance.
