Re: 09 fx sho?

Agree FOLLOW BREAK IN PERIOD per owners manual. +

- the prop spin w/o load= meaning when flushing it on the hose you cant rev the engine on the sho like you can with other skis d/t the high output engine producing too much power w/o the water load of being in the water
-maintanence is $- but follow it to a T
-Always check oil/fuel levels before and after every ride, even though 4 stroke and doesnt burn oil check it especially for the 1 st 20 or so hours just incase something comes loose or it burns oil for a reason, gas milage well dont ask that question w/ purchase of this ski just tow a gas station w/ you haha
- HAVE FUN its an awsome ski
