Thanks Obi for the tips on riding. Had a great day at your ride as well. Keep it up bro
Anytime brother. Glad you had a great time
Awesome video!
Thanks brother!
Good video love the content
Appreciate it!!
good video!
Great video and GO BLUE!!!!!
Thanks!! Always Go Blue!!
Great content! Looks like the Civic Center, I’m also in Riverview. Hope to see you out there!
It is. And thanks for the love! See you out there soon!
A good tip to keep everything from rattling around in front caompartment is fill it with beach towels.
Thank you bro for the tips. I have the same ski and love it bro.
Appreciate it bro. Where do you ride?
@@ObiSkiTV Wife and I live in north port and ride in the boca grande, Venice area. We’ve rode with florida ski riders , south florida riders. It’s awesome riding in those big groups but it’s sometimes too many people and that’s when accidents happen.
@@camachofamilyservices3320 yea you def need to be careful. I’m actually going to be riding from Sarasota to Snake Island this weekend with Agitando Jetski.
What Transom straps are those?
Love the channel! My wife and I have a pair of the exact same Yamahas. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for the support!! Really appreciate it. The straps are OEM Yamaha ones. Got them from the dealer.
🔥🌊💪💯
Thanks Obi. OG on a Ski from CT watching. I'm going to Dunedin Ex. next week so maybe I'll see you there. Yammy FX Svho Limited 2020
Good video! Only thing I would add is always take your lanard key out from ignition before leaving house and put in the little storage unit in between the seat and steering wheel. Lost a key driving down the highway before lest on ignition.
What’s funny is as I was driving to the gas station I saw it!! I thought about putting that in the video lol. Good Catch!!
I used to live on a lake but now different house and will have to trailer. Getting ski this week. QUESTION. After getting ski back on trailer is it ok to drive about an hour home before you flush ski and for me intercooler? So I might have a couple cups of water in the engine bay but what about water in other locations on ski moving about until I get home , flush out, and blow out all water?
New to having a supercharger and new to having to drive to a lake. Thanks very much , I just subscribed as your video was FANTASTIC. Just what I needed for confidence
Hey brother, yea you’ll be fine. I’ve had to drive hours home after some rides and flushed it when I got there. I usually take the plugs out and if there is any water in the hull, which is almost never, it comes out on the ride back. Also note, if you’re riding in fresh water, there is no urgency to flush it. Some people never do since it’s fresh water. It’s salt water that has to be flushed every single time when you get back. Also good luck with your ski and appreciate the follow!!
Thanks for sharing this
I really need how to back up, super nervous about that. 😅
A little practice and you’ll be a pro. Go and practice on a weekday when it’s empty.
Easy tip when backing to keep straight. Use side mirrors, and once you begin to see any part of the trailer, you turn the steering wheel down towards that mirror and say NO. It'll be straight. You shouldn't see anything if it's straight, which is the goal
Great demo mate. Where about is that?
Appreciate that. This spot is in Riverview FL.
The orange handle strap on the trailer winch has way less strength than the big black strap. By looping the orange strap through the ski and hooking the winch to the orange strap makes it so all the weight is on the stiches of orange strap rather than the weight being on the large black strap and winch. Great Video 👍👍🍻🍻
Great point. Haven’t run into an issue but rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for the support!! 👍🏼👍🏼
I would mention don’t get your rear tires wet is you only have 2 wheel drive lol
It’s almost impossible to not get the rear tires wet. Especially when you’re loading it back on. Just have to be careful to not go in too far lol
Awesome video.I just bought my first jet ski and I am a little nervous about launching and loading my jet ski and I don’t have any experience maneuvering my trailer my truck does have a backup camera which will guide me a bit.I’m not going to rush it and going to practice in an empty parking lot near my home and hopefully that will give me some confidence 🙏🏽. But I have ridden a jet ski 4 separate times which helps out a bit.Hope all goes well for me thank you for your video
That’s awesome! Welcome to life on a Jetski! It’s a game changer!! Great idea practicing first. I’m telling you it’s the best thing you can do in order to not get nervous when you pull up to busy ramps. Good luck with the ski my friend!!
@@ObiSkiTV Thanks bro

To the moon 💦🚀
Repeat!
Great video. I was wondering if there is an etiquette associated with beach launching, specifically at Dunedin causeway.
Not really. It’s so wide open you can just pull up and dump your ski.
Your content is exactly what I need. What ski do you recommend? Any specific dealer you suggest? I’m ready to ride
Yamaha FX SVHO!! Cycle Springs Clearwater FL!!
No one ever talks about unplugging the trailer lights. I'm not a fan of leaving them plugged in regardless if they say the lights are watertight or not.
True although rarely should you have to go that far in….
I like your videos bro, since it's my first time to own jet ski 🎿
Can you please do a video about how to backup in the garage ?
🤔🤔
Uggg my dream right there….just don’t have the money for it 😭
Start off small. Save a little here and there and you can absolutely make it happen!!
Brother..launch it on a hard sand beach
Next time for sure lol
People still end up unloading, putting plug in , loading up ice chest etc. at boat ramp... Should've showed how to back in the trailer from holding the steering wheel on the bottom... Alot of people don't know this trick..
Hold the steering wheel on the bottom and when you want the trailer to go left , just swing to the left if you want trailer to go right, just swing to the right. But you have to hold the steering wheel at the bottom.
Great point! Def agree with you.
How to set up your cameras on your Yamaha.
I have a previous video of the GoPro setup I have however that was before I purchased the insta 360 camera. That is a slightly different setup that I will make a video showing as well. The view behind the ski is based on the rack I have and the holder I attached. If you are interested in it I can get you more details.
@@ObiSkiTV Thanks bro. I have a 2021 Waverunner, fun machine! I was asking because I too have a Insta 360 camera. Maybe you can make a video on the usage of your 360 camera on your Waverunner 👍
Great review, thanks for posting
Thank you. I appreciate it!!
Which straps are you using in the back
I have Yamaha OEM straps.
Just wondering I have a 2 inch lift on my Gladiator with 35s I feel like I'm going to need adjustable tow hitch now what do you think?
Whats up OBI! I have a tacoma 3rd gen but its rear wheel drive not 4x4, do you think thats good enough to launch jetski? Ive been seeing videos with 4x4 drowning lol so that gets me nervous haha
Hey brother! You should be ok. I’ve never had to put my truck on 4x4 on a ramp. The problem happens when people go way too far in and that causes a problem. You don’t need to back in that far.
@@ObiSkiTV Alright bro thanks for the clarification, im in the search now for a fish pro. Hopefully one day ill be able to be out there adventuring with yall!
Random question: do you worry about thievery in the gladiator when you’re gone?
We’ve a wrangler that will serve as our tow vehicle and I’d love to have it naked but not sure I wanna leave it like that while having fun lol. Maybe a bit of paranoia but one never knows these days.
Hey brother. Honestly I did have that fear at first but eventually I got over it. But I only do that in places that I feel comfortable.
@@ObiSkiTV bingo valrico riverview Apollo beach probably ok. Ybor absolutely not lol.
Where can I find a jet ski rack
Pwcsuperrack.com is where I got mine. The best!!
💙🔥🔥🔥
Gracias bro!!

Thats really how you tie to a cleat?
Yea. As long as it’s a slow ramp with little action
