Towing the
Watercraft
in
Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a SEA-DOO watercraft in
water.
Maximum recommended towing speed
is 24 km/h (15 MPH).
When towing your watercraft in water,
pinch the water supply hose from the
impeller housing to the exhaust mani-
fold with a large hose pincher (P/N 529
032 500).
This will prevent the exhaust cooling
system from filling which may lead to
water being injected into and filling the
exhaust system. Without the engine
running there isn’t any exhaust pres-
sure to carry the water out the exhaust
outlet.
CAUTION:
Failure to do this may re-
sult in damage to the engine. If you
must tow a stranded
watercraft
in
water and do not have a hose pinch-
er, be sure to stay well below the
maximum towing speed of 24 km/h
(15 MPH).
To ease access to the hose, the vent
tube can be temporarily removed.
