SSA Hints and Tips page

1.  Don't run your pwc close to shore, you'll pick up stones and wreck your impellor and pump!

 

2.  If you must go between moored craft do so at a slow speed, respect other people's property and enjoyment of the sea.

  

 

3.  Be aware of kite-boarders and windsurfers, give them plenty of space.  In certain wind conditions they may encroach into the Jetski area.

                 

 

4; 5 & 6!  Ensure the bungs are tight before launching (we hoped not to need this one putting in!);  If solo launching PW use a rope to attach trailer to tow hitch (trailer's have a knack of hiding while you're anchoring the PW!) & 6, Either store your car keys in an Aqua-pac (especially if you have alarm/immobilizer) or attach them to a float.

 

7.  This little idea is from Martin, a quick release  wheel chock.  Simply attach the chock to the wheel guard with a elastic cord, magic!

8.  Do you have trouble getting your boots on over your drysuit booties?  Struggle no more!  Cut the "feet" off a pair of tights, wear these over the neoprene booties and hey-presto!  Boots just slide on!  (Just try and keep hold of the one pair though, she's bound to notice if her tights keep disappearing every week end!)
