Introduction: Why replace the rear bumpers on your Sea-Doo?
The rear corner bumpers of your Sea-Doo jet ski play an often underestimated role: they absorb shocks during docking maneuvers, protect the fiberglass hull, and contribute to the watertightness of the rear corners. Constantly exposed to UV rays, saltwater, and impacts, they crack or deform over time. Preventive replacement avoids much more costly damage to the hull.
When should you replace the rear bumpers?
- Visible cracks or breaks on the corners
- Detachment or abnormal play relative to the hull
- Deformation due to UV (whitened or warped plastic)
- Preparation for resale — for an impeccable presentation

How to replace the rear bumpers – Step-by-step procedure
- Prepare your workspace — take the jet ski out of the water, place it on its trailer or a stable support.
- Locate the attachment points — the bumpers are held in place by screws or plastic clips on the rear corners of the hull.
- Remove the old bumpers — unscrew or unclip the clips with a flathead screwdriver. If the plastic is stuck by salt, gentle heating with a heat gun will facilitate removal.
- Clean the contact areas — remove any salt, glue, or degraded plastic residue before installation.
- Position the new bumpers — align them with the original anchor points and secure them without forcing.
- Check the fit — the bumpers must be flush with the hull, with no play or protrusion.
⏱ Estimated time: 15 to 20 minutes per side. No specialized tools required.
