Quick take
Outfitting a personal watercraft usually comes down to one question: what does your ride actually need right now? The four items here cover different jobs. One is a set of two floating PWC coolers; another is a slip-resistant traction pad sheet; one is a request-based part-out service for used Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Sea-Doo components; and the last is a printed service manual for 1997 Arctic Cat Tigershark models. Listed prices run from USD 1.02 to USD 293.32, but that range is the gap between a request-based service and a ready-to-use accessory set. Before you pick, think about whether you are solving a comfort issue, a maintenance issue, or a parts-sourcing issue.

Product notes
Jet Ski Coolers by Rider Coolers - Set PWC Coolers, Fits All Personal Watercraft
The Rider Coolers set is the comfort pick when you want food and drinks within reach on the water. The set is described as two saddlebag-style soft coolers that fit personal watercraft, float even when completely full, and keep contents cold for more than 24 hours. It is listed as new in black, with a 12-inch height, 7-inch width, and 9-pound weight for the set. That level of onboard storage is the real draw. The trade-off is the price: at USD 293.32, it is the highest listed price in this comparison, so it makes sense if you plan to use the cooler capacity regularly rather than as a one-time extra.
PWC Gunnel Traction Pads Jet Ski Foot Mat SEADOO Yamaha , Watercraft Accessories
The PWC Gunnel Traction Pads sheet is the practical fix when the deck feels slick. The pad is described as an EVA foam sheet with a small diamond grip, dark gray color, and a peel-and-stick adhesive backing for DIY cutting and installation. It is listed for deck surfaces including fiberglass, metal, coatings, marine plywood, and painted surfaces, which makes it a broad option. The material is described as non-slip, waterproof, and durable, with a listed size of 94.5 x 35 inches. At USD 56.70, it is the mid-priced item here, but because it comes as a sheet, you will need to trim and place it yourself rather than bolt on a ready-shaped mat.
All Pwc Jet Ski Part-Out - Yamaha, Kawasaki, Seadoo Parts 35 Years In Industry
The PWC part-out starts at USD 1.02, but it is a request-based service rather than a fixed component. It covers Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Sea-Doo personal watercraft, and the description mentions 35 years in the industry and a large parts collection. The manufacturer part number is listed as unknown, so the practical move is to describe the part you need. This makes it the lowest-priced item on paper, but also the one where you can't just choose a specific named item. Use it when you have a particular used part in mind and you are willing to ask for it.
1997 PERSONAL WATERCRAFT SERVICE Training Manual Fits ARCTIC CAT Tigershark 5672
The 1997 Personal Watercraft Service Training Manual is for owners of Arctic Cat Tigershark models from that year, specifically the Montego, Monte Carlo, and Daytona lines covered in the description. It is a printed workshop manual with 265 bound pages, listed as new other and made in the United States. At USD 24.15, it sits between the low-cost part-out service and the traction pad in price. The reason to choose it is simple: if you are maintaining a 1997 Tigershark, this gives you model-specific reference material in a physical printed form. The limitation is scope; it is built around those 1997 Arctic Cat Tigershark models rather than a broad personal watercraft manual.
Final recommendation by use case
- If you want onboard cold storage that floats even when full: the Rider Coolers set is the one to consider.
- If your deck feels slippery and you want more foot grip: the PWC Gunnel Traction Pads sheet is the middle-priced option, and it can be cut to fit.
- If you own a 1997 Arctic Cat Tigershark and want a printed workshop reference: the service training manual is the clear fit.
- If you are trying to source a specific used part across Yamaha, Kawasaki, or Sea-Doo personal watercraft: the part-out option is the place to start.
No single item covers every need; the right one depends on the gap you are trying to fill on your watercraft.
