I have said before that you need to look over your bikes, ATV's, and SXS's after they have sat all winter for signs of mice on/around your machine and in air box before running. Well they will live in your watercraft as well. This machine had a huge nest built around the jet pump and his dining area was next to the impeller filling it with acorn pieces. Always do a thorough check over every square of your machine if it sat somewhere where it was undisturbed all winter. These vermouth don't care how new or what kind of machine you have. To them everything is fair game. Customer started this machine and said it sounded like rocks in his jet pump. After pulling all the nest out and one dead varmint it took a lot of degreaser and pressure washing to get all of the f***s that had turned into liquid tar and the smell off the machine. If you're going to store your machine whether summer or winter toy they do make alternatives to those awful mothballs to place around your machines rodents on Amazon. It's worth a few dollars to save from the labor of cleaning it up or them causing any damage.
