Storing Your Honda
8. Rinse the outside of the engine. Dry with a
soft clean cloth and spray with a water-
displacement corrosion-proof lubricant
(without Teflon or molybdenum additives,
such as CRC 6-56 or an equivalent).
(ARX1200T3 only: Also rinse and dry the
turbocharger, and spray it with the same
lubricant. For turbocharger lubrication, see
page 140.)
9. Remove the battery and charge it fully.
Store it in an area protected from freezing
temperatures and direct sunlight. Slow
charge the battery (page 160) once a month.
10.Wash and dry your PWC. Apply fiberglass
marine wax to the hull and deck.
11.Lubricate the moving parts (page 135).
12.Store your PWC in an unheated area, free
of dampness, away from sunlight, with a
minimum of daily temperature variation.
13.Remove both seats (page 115) to allow the
engine compartment to dry thoroughly.

Tips
14.After the engine compartment is dry,
reinstall both seats (page 116).
15.Keep your PWC as level as possible and
cover it with a porous material. Avoid
using plastic or similar non-breathing,
coated materials that restrict air flow and
allow heat and moisture to accumulate.
