Towing the Watercraft
on the Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft on
the water.
The maximum recommended towing
speed is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your watercraft on
the water, pinch the water supply
hose from the impeller housing to
the engine with a large hose pincher
(P/N 529 032 500).
F01B23Y
This will prevent the cooling system
from filling up which may lead to water
flooding the exhaust system pushing
water back into the cylinders. When
the engine is not running there isn’t
any exhaust pressure to push the wa-
ter out the exhaust outlet.
CAUTION:
Failure to do this may
result in damage to the engine. If
you must tow a stranded watercraft
on the water and do not have a hose
pincher, be sure to stay well below
the maximum towing speed of 24
km/h (15 MPH).
Clamp down the hose pincher on the
water supply hose as shown.
NOTE:
A red tape on the water supply
hose indicates which hose to pinch.
