Is it bad to keep my 96 Seadoo parked in the ocean?

Question

I'm concerned about engine corrision from the salt water.

It is covered so I'm not too worried about it getting damaged from the sun.

I've had it there for 3 months and it still starts and drives well.

Answer 1

salywater is a killer of cooling systems. you are begging for corrosion of your intake system and destroying your engine.

Answer 2

its not good for it just riding it in the ocean,let alone leaving it in it for any period of time without flushing,3 mo. Id say the damage is already done,good luck though!

Answer 3

If there is no "Anti-Fouling"  paint on the bottom, you will get marine grown "Barnicles", try getting them off, YIKES ! scrub the bottom clean every time you come in, that's the ONLY other choice besides anti-fouling marine paint on the bottom of the Hull.

Answer 4

if you can avoid leaving it in the water then you should.

Can it be trailered and stored somewhere else/ As already mentioned - barnicles etc become and issue if left in the water - not to mention bird damage ad the greater possibility of theft
