Jet Ski Hour Meter...How can you tell how many hours are on a ski?

Question

I have a 98 Sea Doo GTI, and it does not have an hour meter on the dash. I know if I take it to the dealer they can plug into the computer and tell how many hours are on the ski. I'm currently looking to pick up another ski, but wanted to know if there was a way I could tell how many hours are on a ski without taking it to the dealer. Not too sure if I could just take a seller's word for it.

Thanks in advance for your posts!

Answer 1

Sorry , but no.  Unless you invest in a BRP (seadoo) computer.  

By the way if you do not trust your dealer do not buy a Seadoo or anything else from them. Never buy a Seadoo from an individual unless you get it checked out by a dealer!

Answer 2

an experienced technician can look at the engine and give you a rough estimate on the hours

Answer 3

um take a watch with u and record your time on the jet ski
