If you’re reading this then you have bought a new Seadoo Watercaft and you have been told you need to break the engine in. But what does that mean? It can be quite confusing when you’re told by your dealership or after you read the owners manual that you got to “break the engine in”. What should you do?
What shouldn’t you do? I’m hoping to answer these questions below and give you a better understanding of why you need to do this. Why Do You Have To Break The Engine In?
The reason why you need to break the engine in is that its brand new. The engine hasn’t really seen much action and every component is not seated in just yet. During the break in period parts of the engine get “set-in” and things get worn in to the correct tolerances. This process takes time and every engine is different.
I only really know the break in period on a Seadoo. Either way always consult your owners manual or your local dealer for any breaking questions. How Long Do You Break It In? The first 5 hours of your new Seadoo Watercraft is the most critical. All the other hours are not as important as those first 5 hours.

Your break in period is within the first 5 hours. The first service or oil change is 50 hours or 1 year, which ever one comes first. Consult with your local dealer or owners manual as the specs can change. After those first 5 hours you can really play with the machine, but in those first 5 hours its important that you follow the best practices that I list below. Best Practices On Break In If you gotten this far you might be terrified to break in your new watercraft. Go ahead and relax, its actually quite simple. Some of the models actually have a forced break in where it won’t get to full power until its broke in.
But still its good to follow these simple steps below. Step 1: Don’t keep the engine at one speed for no more than 30 seconds.and thats it.
Its that simple. Its okay to go full power, its actually recommend, but just don’t keep it there. I still recommend you keep the watercraft in “Touring” mode for the first 5 hours. The touring mode is a nice and easy take off mode that doesn’t put too much stress on the engine. You still need to change your speed every so often even in touring mode.
Also avoid Cruise Control for the fact that it keeps the engine at one speed for too long. Avoid pulling tubes or ski mode for the first 5 hours as you’re more likely to keep the engine at one speed for too long. Learning Key Would it be best to drive the watercraft with the learning key on for the first 5 hours? That’s really up to you.

With the learning key its pretty much in touring mode all the time, so its not wrong. Just remember to change up the speed every 30 seconds. If you’re new to the watercraft then yes drive with the learning key so you can understand the machine better. These are very powerful machines, so don’t be afraid to give the learning key a try.
What Do You Mean Change Speed? So lets say for example you’re in touring mode and you’re driving at 55mph. From there go to 40mph. Then go to 50mph. Maybe go to 30mph.
Or 31 or 46 or 59mph. There is no wrong way to do it. Just change the speed up every so often. If you’re thinking too much about it then you’re not having fun.
Just go easy and enjoy yourself, its hard to do it wrong. And as always consult your owners manual and your local dealer for proper break in. High Horsepower If you got a high HP Seadoo watercraft then you get the pleasure of a forced break in.
I’m looking at you 260HP and 300HP. The engine will not get to full power until a certain hour is match. It will slowly get faster and faster as you get more hours, but won’t get to full power or RPM’s til its broken in. This is pretty common on many manufactures who make engines especially high power ones. Every jet ski will be different in the way you break it in. The break-in procedure is more important the more HP and the more moving parts you have. An improper break-in could damage the engine in the long run or cause other issues down the line.
The good news is that many of the modern watercraft you get these days have a forced break-in mode to help you break it in and also they can take some abuse. The best thing to do is change up your speed often and DO NOT keep the watercraft at one speed for a long time when in the break-in mode. Something doesn’t seem right with this. Are you sure its the 130HP model and not the 90HP model?
42mph is about the top speed of the 90HP engine and the 130 and 90 both look the same. The RPMs don’t seem right either, it could be possible the dealership programmed the keys wrong. It might be best to take it to the dealership to see what they say especially if there is no difference in sport or touring mode. If it’s really sluggish, feels like it’s not catching when coming out of the hull then that is a damaged wear ring. It’s that time again for me to predict what I think will happen for Sea-Doo in 2019. A lot has happened in recent years, and you would think nothing significant will happen for 2019 but they’ve been known to surprise us before.
Some of what they’re going to do is common sense but there a few things that stuck out. Let’s admit it, buying a used jet ski can be tricky and complicated.

Most states require you to wear a Helmet for your Motorcycle. If a Jet Ski is the Motorcycle of the water wouldn’t wearing a helmet make sense? Yes, wearing a helmet would make sense on a Jet Ski but there is more to it.

The amazing part is that most states don’t require helmets at all on watercraft. I want These things are HUGE! Or This thing is the SIZE OF A BOAT!
