With that said, although I don't have the opportunity, I am not sure I would put my PWC on a mooring. Not out of fear of it being stolen, but out of fear of it sinking. Maybe just paranoia, but there just seems to be too many ways that water can get inside a PWC. And it doesn't take a whole lot of water to bring it down and fill the engine right up.
That the newer models like 1998 and up are designed to have water flow off of them. I have a neighbor that keeps his on a mooring all summer long, with and without cover and has never had a problem, but again just personal preference, myself on the other hand have ours on a lift, Thank you to a neighbor for letting us use it by the way for the season!!!
