Although very commonplace to see (and do)

"Beaching" it is the worst practice ever for a Jet Ski.

Sand dragged into the impeller area during beaching, wave action circulating sand up in and around the impeller -- works wonders on the bearings in short order !!

Even operating one in extremely shallow water is not recommended as the sandy bottom is stirred up and sucked into the impeller



Ask my dealer -- that was the root cause of two of my machine failures
