Without starting your Glastron? It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve been out, should I go start it and let it idle?

I go out of town for work a lot and have left mine for 2-3 months, started right up, as long as it is on the float charger, you should be fine in my opinion.

This is a good question. I keep mine it a heated and air conditioned garage all the time. I never did anything special to winterize the Seadoo boat I had for 6 years except start it every two months or so for 30 seconds or so.

I’ve been afraid to start my new boat out of the water. I see Jetskiers start and “blow out” the water after trailering all the time though. What is the rule on starting new Rotax motors out of the water. My old boat was a two cycle Rotax versus my brand new motor.

My yamaha has not been started in two months as of now and it will like be another 6 months before I touch it again so it will have been sitting for 8 months and I fully expect it to start. My sea doo ski will have been sitting for 7 months and I fully expect it to start as well.
