The PWC "Motor Hour" Myth - And How to Extend Your PWC's Life

#pwcmaintenance #pwctips

Low hours don't necessarily mean a better PWC. In this video, we're debunking the "Motor Hour" myth and discussing how to extend the life of your watercraft.

When I was looking at purchasing my first PWC, I made a decision to buy second hand to see how I liked the sport. I didn't know much about the available brands and went down the general thinking that low engine hours would equate to better value. It was confusing however seeing some of the lowest hour units listed for sale also seemingly having had the same maintenance- or more - than much higher hours units.What gives?

I spoke at that time to my local Yamaha PWC dealer and they said that a well used PWC is likely to be in better condition that one that has had little use given all other factors being equal. I didn't really understand why. For my first ski ,I decided on a 9 month old unit Yamaha VX with 65 hours. When the reported average usage of recreational ski is apparently 25 hrs per year, this seemed higher than normal. But the ski turned out to be perfect, never let me down, and I added another 400 hrs to it within 2 years of fishing. My last PWC, a Yamaha FXHO that I purchased from new, had no maintenance issues even after 730hrs of use.

So why would heavy use equate to a longer life? Patrick O'Keeffe from Shoreline Jetskis explains why in this video, and shows us a new modification that he supplies to give your PWC the best chance of a very long life.
