- This video details how to perform the yearly maintenance on a 2019 Yamaha Waverunner EX Sport. Items covered: checking the gas cap, emptying the fuel water separator, inspecting hoses/lines, testing the battery, inspecting linkages, and more...
thank you so much for making this video. People like yourself that go into highly detailed videos showing you how to do something are amazing
Thank you for watching!
Just replaced my former boss’s battery on his ski. He bought it new about 14 years ago and it was the original battery. I was shocked. We live in NE Indiana and he pulls the battery in the winter and it’s on a battery tender. And here I am doing like you almost and swap out at 5 years. lol I store ours in our heated hanger.
Good and interesting questions and answers ! Just purchased a used 2018 EX !
Very informative and well done video. I plan to use this advice on my 2019 FX Cruiser HO.
Nice. I’m about to buy one similar and I come from the dirt bike world and I’m big on good/preventive maintenance 👍🏼
Very helpful and clear. Good job.
if water has collected in the water separator ,drain it by loosening the drain screw to drain water from the water separator place a drain pan or dry cloth under the water seperator Gradually loosen the drain screw to drain the water Catch the draining water in th drain pan or soak it up with the dry cloth so that it does not spill into the engine compartment if any water spills into the watercraft be sure to wipe it up with a dry cloth Securly tighten the drain screw until it stops
Great video! Thanks for the info.
maintenance great

Any idea on how to lube the jet pump bearing with grease on the EX? I can’t find a grease fitting on mine
You have to pull it apart. You need to take the impeller off to get to it.
Great vid, thanks for the steps! Curious: Does the EX sport recommend lubrication to the steering cable/trim Rod? Also, the intermediate housing?
If so, have you ever done it, got any tips? A vid coming? (lol) Thanks anyways for this vid, helped to understand my gp1800's throttle body lube
So yes it is recommended to lubricate all those items. I don't really have any tips but yes, I will try to film a video on how to do it. Thanks for watching!
So I have a 2018 Ex. Are you saying I don’t have to do the RV anti freeze to winterize? I thgt you had to pump it in until you see the antifreeze come out of the back.
I personally do not put RV antifreeze in my Waverunner. If you can give it 30 days before a hard freeze to fully dry out, you shouldn't need to. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I read in my manual(FX)That the anode should be checked @200 hrs..any idea how to do that? I'm guessing its on the pump, but not sure..
I will have a video for that at some point. It is involved. The valve cover has to be removed. Thanks for watching!
@@andysgarageadventures8043 yes this would be awesome thanks! I believe this needs to be done for the ex sport as well. Do you know if there is anything else that should be lubricated routinely (ie- reverse lever/ steering etc?). Thanks
Just purchased a 2018!ex sport but I don’t have a manual. WhTs the proper way to check the oil???. I noticed when it’s been sitting I don’t see anything on the stick and now I just took it out for 20 min and checked it right away and I can actually see the oil when I pull the stick out. Help pls.
I cover it in my oil change video: th-cam.com/video/zKBXVlYFIIs/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!
Manual is online, easy to find and easier to read as you can magnify it, google it
I actually just bought the same ski. So, for winterization, you're saying that it's best to spray the Yamaha lubricant in the throttle body and just try to make sure all of the water gets out of the system. Is there any way to make absolutely sure there's no water remaining? Thanks
If you're really worried about you can fit a 5 gallon bucket with a hose tap (www.amazon.com/Brass-Spigot-Barrel-Faucet-Water/dp/B09QYNS25L/ref=asc_df_B09QYNS25L/) and then fill it with a couple of gallons of RV/Boat antifreeze (www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-RV-and-Marine-Antifreeze-1-Gallon/17179674). Then connect it to the flush port on the Waverunner with a short hose and run the machine until the bucket is empty. That will replace any water with antifreeze. Otherwise 30 days above freezing temperatures has always dried it out well enough for me given the climate where I live. Thanks for watching!
Hello Andy do I need to fog the engine if I store it in a garage? Also - do I need to remove the battery and trickle charge it over the winter? Thanks
You can fog the engine, but if you are storing it in the garage, I think it will be just fine without fogging. It is a good idea to put a charger on the battery a few times during the winter, but it doesn’t need a constant trickle charge.
Ok thank you. I did it today and it worked great. Oil change worked out great as well (today) and the first time I did it for the 10 hour at the beginning of summer. When I sprayed into the throttle body the engine sort of sputtered and almost died. Is that normal? I assume it is. Thanks for all of your help! You have the best videos for this type of stuff on TH-cam. Made my summer a blast!
Also- do you recommend I re add a zip tie to the hose that had one when taking off the filter? I think you ran into this during your video. Looks like they had a zip tie that attached the filter cover to a hose.
Is this the same process for a 2023 FX SVHO?
It is similar but not exactly the same. Thanks for watching!
What about engine zinc anode ??
I will have a video about that coming soon. Thanks for watching!
Should the battery be left connected all winter?
It depends on the climate where you live. If the winters are mild, leaving the battery in should be fine. If maximum battery life is your goal, then the best approach is to bring the battery into a garage and put a trickle charger on it. The winters are mild around where I live, so leaving the battery in and going out and putting a charger on it a couple of times throughout the winter works well. As I said in the video, I automatically replace mine preemptively every two years. Getting stuck out on the water with a bad battery is no fun, and I know this sadly from personal experience. 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting!
Unconnect it. There can be a small draw, which will drain the power. Batteries go bad when they are stored dead.
Did you say 100 hrs maintenance?? Maybe 10 hrs would be better??
It wouldn't hurt, I have never seen anything damaged by performing maintenance to soon. Thanks for watching.
That fogging DOES NOT reach the engine..
Correct, it lubricates parts of the throttle body. If you are trying to fog it, removing the sparks plugs and spraying the fogging oil into the cylinders is the way to go. Thanks for watching.
@@andysgarageadventures8043 is yamaha lube spray okay? or yamaha fog?
Im wondering same thing
Volunes too low
