The finale 🏁

This 2018 RXP-X came in for winterization and wouldn't start — completely locked up. Salt water had gotten into the short intake and destroyed the supercharger from the inside.

New supercharger, new starter, new driveshaft, new carbon ring kit… and today Troy fired it for the first time.

From locked up to running in three weeks. Next step: winterize it and put it to bed till spring 😂

YAMAHAS ARE WET RIDES...YOU AGREE?

A pickup ride in two acts 😂

Act one: beautiful, smooth water. Act two: open bay in November — wind, chop, spray over the bow, and my hat gone forever.

Can't stop, can't slow down, just take the beating and get her home. Winterization pickups aren't always pretty.

Business owners/techs — I need your intel 👇

Between Odyssea Jet and Prop Shop and Odyssea Watersports, we use seven or eight different apps and programs. Combined, they get expensive. Each one does part of the job, but none does everything we need, and because they don’t work together, they’re starting to create efficiency problems as the businesses grow.

That’s why I’m building Odyssea One.

If you run a shop or service business, tell me:

What program do you use?
What does it cost? (Rough price is fine)
What do you love about it?
What do you hate about it?

I’m reading every answer.

Winterization + storage season is hitting hard this year! 😎

Boat after boat, ski after ski — this lot fills up every fall with machines their owners trust us to winterize, store, and hand back ready in the spring. We're grateful for every single one of them.

This is the best problem a shop can have.

The spin test — two pumps, two sounds 🔊

First pump is worn out. Spin it by hand and it free-spins forever, grinding the whole time — bearings gone, seals dead, nothing left inside to slow it down.

Second pump is a fresh rebuild. Slight drag from new seals and grease, turns smooth, and nearly silent.

That's the test: smooth + quiet + a little drag = healthy. Free-spinning + grinding = worn out. If yours sounds like pump #1, that's your early warning — catch it at the noisy stage and it's a rebuild. Ignore it and it takes the housing with it.

Spin yours and tell me what you hear 👇

Three Seadoo pickups today. Beautiful rides, smooth cruises across the bay.

Then the last one was a Yamaha.

I'm a Sea-Doo guy. Everybody knows this. So riding it to the ramp, I had my complaints ready — the lanyard, all of it. And then… it's a pretty nice ride. Smooth. I stayed dry. I'm not gonna lie: Yamahas are nice.

There. I said it. Both camps can fight it out below 👇

Part 3 — parts day 👇

Quick recap: this 2018 RXP-X came in for winterization, wouldn't start, completely locked up. The supercharger had corroded so badly it wouldn't spin at all. Years of wave jumping pushed salt water straight into the short intake and fed it directly to the charger.

Everything it needs just landed: fresh supercharger, carbon ring kit, driveshaft, starter, and more ready for assembly.

Next video: it all goes in, and we find out if she fires.

This one hurts 👇

Sea-Doo Fish Pro, locked up on the owner at 50. We put the borescope in before guessing anything, and the scope found: a broken piston with the edge ripped off, badly bent valves, a chunk missing, and a melted piston.

The motor is done.

Here's the part that gets us — this ski is super clean. The owner took real care of it. We called him with the worst news a shop can deliver and he took it better than we would have: "Put it back together, I'll pick it up as-is."
We still don't know what let go first, and we're not going to pretend we do.
So — what would YOU do in his seat?

What's one thing you LOVE about jet skiing, and one thing you HATE about it?

Mine — love: the freedom. A 10-minute test ride or an hour across the bay, it doesn't matter — worst day ever and getting on the water frees your mind. Hate: electrical gremlins. If you know, you know.

Drop both of yours. The hates with the most votes become videos — answers, fixes, and workarounds from the shop floor.

Love riding your jet ski but hate everything that comes with it?

The launching and loading. The flushing after every ride. The spring start-up and the winter put-away. That's the part most owners fall behind on — and it's the part that keeps a ski running right.
That's what our VIP service is for.

🚤 Summer: your ski lives at Odyssea Watersports (120 52nd St, Ocean City). Request a launch in the VIP app and it's prepped and waiting when you arrive. Done riding? We flush it, wash it, dry it, and cover it.

❄️ Winter: it's stored indoors at our Ocean Pines shop, winterized and serviced by our own techs — and spring prep is done so you're ready by May 15.

⭐ VIPs get priority scheduling year-round, too.

Most people book VIP in the spring, but indoor storage is hard to come by around here — booking now locks your spot in.

Love riding but not the upkeep? VIP service and storage at Odyssea Jet and Prop Shop in Ocean Pines: we launch, flush, wash, store, and service your jet ski — you just ride.
