Remember, you may be saving someone else's vacation by being prepared. If you see someone if need of assistance, offer what you can. Supporting the sport also means supporting your fellow riders. If you have ideas on what may be needed please send us your suggestions. After a day or weekend of riding, most folks aren't aware of the water which stays trapped inside your exhaust system and other parts of the engine.
Water is circulated through the engine and exhaust system for cooling.
After the ski is removed from the lake and transported, water stays trapped in passage ways and can move around inside the exhaust system. This trapped water eventually evaporates into the cylinders and engine compartment causing rust and corrosion on unprotected surfaces like your cylinders. The damage can be severe or even cause a siezure. To prevent this problem, flush the water out by starting the engine for about 1 minute, after removal from the water and during prolonged storage. Run the engine just long enough to warm the cylinders so they're warm to the touch, but not hot.
