Waverunner sinking, and parts rusting; told by Yamaha its designed that way!
By Tom(Owner), May. 18, 2010
I had the EXACT same issue as the other reviewer. Hose clamps rusting. Called Yamaha, they said it is an "entry level" ski, and basically that is what I get. To change out the hose clamps you have to remove the entire engine!

Great Jet Ski
By Mike Begue(Owner), Aug. 13, 2011

Great Ski
By Rene(Owner), May. 24, 2016
No problems with mine, ever! Keep in mind I only use them in fresh water, garaged, and only have about 85 hours on it (2008). Treated them pretty gentle, but I will look into the hose clamps now that you mention it. Read Full Review
