Yamaha WaveBlaster 700 Personal Watercraft (1993-1996)
The Yamaha WaveBlaster 700, produced from 1993 to 1996, is an iconic personal watercraft (PWC) known for its dynamic, motorcycle-like riding experience. It was equipped with a 701cc, 2-stroke, 2-cylinder engine. Initially, the WaveBlaster 700 featured a "blurple" (blue/purple) color in 1993 and 1994, before changing to red in 1995. The primary evolution for this model occurred in 1996, with a significant upgrade to its carburetion system. Models from 1993 to 1995 utilized a single Mikuni carburetor, while the 1996 model was equipped with dual 38mm Mikuni carburetors and 62T cases. This change increased horsepower from 63 to 73 HP, providing faster acceleration and slightly higher top speeds. Although specific designations (WB700R, WB700S, WB700T) were used each year, these do not represent major generation breaks, but rather annual model designations. The most notable generation break is the 1996 performance-focused engine upgrade. FAQ:

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Oil Filter (Oil Injection System) | Every 50 to 100 hours or annually | Cleaning and inspection. Replacement of oil tank filter and in-line filters. Regularly inspect for fraying, tears, or muddiness. |
| Belt | Not applicable | The 2-stroke engine does not use a timing belt. There is no drive belt for the jet pump, as it features a direct drive. |
| Spark Plug | Every 100 hours of operation or annually | Check condition, clean, and gap at initial service, then every 50 hours and 100 hours. More frequent replacement (every 25 to 40 hours) may be needed for aggressive riding. |
| Air Filter | Inspect every 10-15 hours, replace every 50 hours or annually | Inspect more frequently in dusty conditions. Properly clean and oil foam filters to protect the engine. Replace if worn or damaged. |
| Coolant | Not applicable | The WaveBlaster 700 uses an open-loop, raw-water cooling system, so there is no coolant to replace. Flushing the engine with fresh water after every use is crucial, especially in saltwater. The water pump impeller should be inspected annually and replaced every 2-3 years or 300 hours. |
