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 jet pump housing to
the engine with a large Hose Pincher (P/N 529 032
500).

This will prevent the exhaust cooling system from
fillingwhichmayleadtowaterbeinginjectedin-
to and filling the exhaust system and the engine.
Withoutthe engine running there isn't any exhaust
pressure to carry the water out the exhaust outlet.
CAUTION: Failure to do this may result in dam-
age to the engine. If you must tow a strand-
ed watercraft in water and do not have a hose
pincher be sure to stay well below the maxi-
mum towing speed of 24 km/h (15 MPH).
Snugly install the hose pincher on the water sup-
ply hose as shown in the following illustrations.
NOTE: Pinch the hose with the red tape (if so
equipped).
