I am looking into an pwc, probably used. I have watched MANY Seadoo repair videos, by Calas World and others, and quite a few Yamaha videos. I have noticed a Seadoo drive shaft can go from new to totally rusty in 2 years (Salt water. Yes, maintenance must be done to help prevent this). However, every drive shaft I have seen coming out of a Yamaha has minimal to no rust. (I have to review some Kawi videos as well) Am I wrong? Also, why can't anyone come up with a very rust resistant metal, perhaps titanium to use for drive shafts?
