I would go with what suckmoto said on the trickle from dealing with my scooter batteries.
Page 96 of your manual tells how to prep it for storage. It depends on how mechanically inclined you are if you want to do it yourself. They suggest having the dealership do it. If you are due for your first 50 hr servicing it , you could always have them take care of it while you are there... or... better yet..
move to Miami
your ski will never be put in storage heheheh

Yes. It's under the IBR cover ( which is down when the ski is off ) so you have to kinda get up under there. It on on the left under the cover if you have the IBR kit installed.
I had the IBR kit installed before I first had my ski delivered when I bought it.
It's a $30 kit that enables you to just hook a hose up to it it's basically the same type of inlet on your average garden sprinkler ( something any hose will screw into ) Yes it requires removing the IBRR and that's why I had the dealer install the IBR kit instead of doing it myself.
Obviously you don't want to be twisting a hose all the way around when trying to fasten it so you will want to get a quick release hose adapter from Home Depot or wherever so you can just turn that to fasten it instead of trying to turn the hose.
I believe the manual says not to use any high pressure attachments to flush it.
Take a look in the forums for topics about flushing and flush kit. Several of the guys on here made DIY flush kits so look in there for advice on going this route

Heh the only downside ( in my book ) to riding in the beautiful blue ocean... salt water. You have to always flush your ski, preferably with Salt Away, it coats your ski, skin, and I can't get it out of my favorite black riding visor. I'm trying to spot clean it so I don't ruin it in the washer but it has little white powdery crystals all over it from the salt. Bah!
