There is a common misperception by many pwc owners that all used oem salvaged watercraft parts are of less quality and viability than new & aftermarket parts. In fact, many owners will spend hundreds of dollars to buy new parts directly from the dealer to avoid what they believe is an extra hassle associated with purchasing used or nos parts. This perception can cost you more money than is necessary. Furthermore, aftermarket parts built for your jet ski may not perform any better than getting an original manufactured refurbished part from a salvage yard or parts dealer. In most cases, these oem parts have plenty of life left in them and are made of better quality materials.
Junkyard Doesn’t Mean Junk!
Unless a craft was obliterated in a fire or explosion, there are still several usable parts left on it. For instance, if a seadoo hits a rock in the front and deemed ‘totalled’ by an insurance company, we can still salvage many of the internal components and external parts from the rest of the vehicle. These are parts that weren’t damaged or worn out. You can still get plenty of hours from them without spending too much money on new parts. Just because you purchase a part from a junkyard doesn’t mean that it’s a piece of junk.
How Much Money Can Salvaged Parts Save You?
The big question with jet ski parts is cost versus performance. In other words, will how much you pay for a part be worth what you get out of it. In some cases, buying new parts is the best option. In most cases, however, purchasing used parts from a salvage yard like pwcpartsyard.com will be worth the investment. We check each part for quality and ensure that you’re getting your money’s worth. You can save 50% to 75% on most parts and still get the performance you need for your jet ski.

Recycling/DismantlingUsed boat parts dealers, or salvagers, like pwc parts yard may accept your old vessel for it's parts. The major benefit of recycling through a salvager is that they do all the dirty work from removal from your property to disposal.
If you’ve ever been to a salvage yard looking for a part, the parts manager may have asked you if you want OEM, aftermarket, or genuine parts. Although the differences are often subtle, there can be a significant difference in the level of quality of each.
