There is no special procedure for starting a jet ski, and if you have to do something very similar, you need a new starter relay. I have even had customers tell me the procedure to start their watercraft, like waiting for the dash to turn off, then you press the start button 11 times while tapping the handlebars 4 times before it will start. Also, you know the starter relay is bad is when you press the start button multiple times before the jet ski will finally start. If you go to start your watercraft and all you get is ONE solid click or thud, then the Starter Relay (Amazon Link Ad) has gone bad. Your local dealer can help you find the correct battery for your machine. Sometimes you’ll need a new battery (Amazon Link Ad). Just hang the solar panel off to the side when you’re not using the jet ski. To keep the battery from dying all the time I highly suggest getting a Solar panel like this one (Amazon Link Ad). Also, you need to let the battery charge for hours, or overnight to get it to be fully charged.

To charge a battery, you want to use a smart battery charger (Amazon Link Ad) that does not exceed 2 amps. You may also like this post: REASONS WHY YOUR JET SKI BATTERY DIES

We talk more below about how to check the battery. Even if you think the battery is good, check the battery. Even if you charged the battery or it’s a new battery, it still can be the battery causing the jet ski to not start. Having a Dead Battery is usually the biggest reason why your Seadoo, Yamaha, or Kawasaki jet ski won’t start.Ĩ out 10 times, it’s the battery.
