Also drain the engine and exhaust system to remove any remaining water or fuel. Finally, change the oil and oil filter to ensure your engine stays in top condition during storage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooling system<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Flush the cooling system with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. If you live in a freezing climate, mix water and RV antifreeze to flush the system and prevent damage from ice formation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battery care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Use a battery tender to maintain its charge throughout the storage period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trailer prep (if applicable)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have a trailer for your jet ski, check the tire pressure and bearings. Use wheel chocks to prevent rolling, and apply grease to all moving parts to keep them in good working order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jet-ski-storage-options\"><\/span>Jet ski storage options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how to store your jet ski, whether at home, in a self storage unit, or at a marina, extends the life of your watercraft and keeps it ready for your next adventure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home-based-storage\"><\/span>Home-based storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Convenience, low cost, and short-term needs<\/p>\n<p>Home storage is ideal if you want quick access and want to avoid monthly fees.<\/p>\n<p>Your <strong>garage<\/strong> is a great choice, as it offers security and protection from the elements, though it can take up significant space. For example, if your jet ski has a double trailer, make sure it fits before committing. There is a way you can maximize space in your garage though: a portable jet ski dolly, which lets you switch things up when needed.<\/p>\n<p>Another accessible option is just storing them in your <strong>backyard<\/strong>, but that requires a <strong>high-quality cover<\/strong> to protect it from the elements.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a <strong>shed<\/strong>, it can provide some weather protection and added security, but check for size restrictions or HOA rules before storing.<\/p>\n<p>In all three cases, you should <strong>winterize your jet ski and implement security measures like locks or alarms.<\/strong> For better protection, try <strong>tilting the jet ski back, removing drain plugs, or using a lift to keep it off the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key consideration:<\/strong> Always check local HOA rules and ensure your storage method protects against weather, theft, and pests.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Self-storage-facilities\"><\/span>Self storage facilities<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong> Long-term, secure, and space-saving storage.<\/p>\n<p>Self storage facilities offer many options for different needs and budgets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indoor or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storagecafe.com\/climate-controlled-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">climate-controlled units<span class=\"sr-only\">(opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/strong> are safest against weather, theft and corrosion, so they\u2019re ideal for valuable jet skis or harsh climates.
