EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
TOWING THE JET BOAT
➀
Bow eye
The Jet Boat should be towed only if it
becomes inoperative.
The towing rope should be long
enough so that the Jet Boat will not col-
lide with the towing boat when slowing
down. A good rule of thumb is a tow
rope which is three times the combined
length of the towing boat and the Jet
Boat.
Tow the Jet Boat using the bow eye
only. Tow the boat at a "no wake"
speed.
Do not tow the jet boat at speed fast
enough to leave a wake. Severe
engine damage could result
because water can flood the non-
operating engines through the cool-
ing water intake.
The operator of the towing boat
must keep speed to a minimum and
avoid traffic or obstacles which
could be a hazard to the driver on
the Jet Boat.
RUNNING ON ONE ENGINE
If one engine becomes inoperative, the
properly running engine can be used to
return to shore. Operate at a “no wake”
speed to prevent water from flooding
the non-operating engine through the
cooling water intake.
Do not operate the jet boat above a
“no wake” speed with just one
engine. Severe engine damage
could result because water can
flood the non-operating engines
through the cooling water intake.
