Help with Jetski Storage

What is the best way to properly store a jetski when not in use for
2-3 months?

I own a '98 Kawasakii 900 STX jetski that I will be using once every
2-3 months.

I intend to follow the instructions in the manual for storage when not
in use which are:

1. completely empty the gas tank and run the engine to burn any gas
left in it.
2. coat the cylinders and carburators with a protective solution from
Kawasakii.
3. remove and store the battery
3. remove the seat cover to prevent condensation.
4. spray WD-40 on any exposed metal parts.
5. cover the jetski with a Kawasakii water proof cover.

There are similar instructions for bringing the jetski out of storage.

Is there anything else I should be doing?

The jetski will be in Mexico close to Cancun. I have friends who will
let me store it in their property, but it's an empty lot with no roof
or walls. The machine will be exposed to the elements. I cannot ask
them to let me build any roof or anything, so this is the best I've
got.

You don't need to completely empty the gas tank. You can actually fill
it, add stabilizer, run the ski on a fresh water source for a few
minutes to circulate the stabilized gas and then fog it down with any
brand of fogging oil. Wax the ski, coat the vinyl with 303 Protectant
and over it. You should be in good shape with the rest of your
procedures. By stabilizing the gas, the only thing you need to do to
ride again is start it and go.
