The jet skis are designed to go in the water but not under water over the rim.

Water can also get into the fuel system through the breather tube if tipped to hard or flooded with water. Please respect the equipment.

Sometimes things such as the battery being ran down, due to not knowing how to prime an outboard or throttle only on a cold start on an inboard. So know what you are doing. Many tutorials online, ask if you don't know, or if something isn't working.

The fishing boat and pontoon boat both have outboard motors. 
 
The renter must understand how to pump prime the fuel line. In the case of the motor cutting out because of an air lock it is the renters responsibility to prime the fuel line. The fuel line on an outboard can get air in the line sometimes, even from towing the boat and the fuel sloshing around.
 
The wakeboard boat may need the throttle only button pushed to prime the fuel to the engine the first time starting during the day.  Also a renter responsibility.
