How to Move a Jet Ski

A jet ski (personal watercraft) usually travels on its own trailer, which makes moving one mostly about towing safely and strapping it down front and back. This guide covers securing the ski to its trailer, towing basics, and shipping a jet ski if you do not want to tow it yourself.

Pro tip: A ratcheting bow tie-down in addition to the winch strap adds cheap insurance against forward slide.

Watch out: Never rely on the winch strap alone. Without transom straps, the ski can bounce off the trailer over bumps.
