I picked up a nice rigid wet dry vac at home depot. It was great at cleaning out the machine, both wet and dry.. What a mess..

I am going to put dryer sheets in all the compartments and have it shrink wrapped next season. Thanks everyone for the advice,

I bought a new Seadoo last year and stored it under a friends deck this past winter. Wrapped it up tight with a nice big tarp. When I put it in the water this spring....none of the guages worked. I brought it back to HK an they found the problem really quickly. When they opened it up, they found yellow home insulatin all bunched up inside where the rodents had made the nest and also all the chewed wires. We kind of figured it was mice or chipmunks because when I opened the front compartment, there were acorn shells inside. They don't need much of a space to get in
