Towing The Watercraft In Water - Sea-doo GTX 4-TEC Operator's Manual

WARNING
When disconnecting coil from
spark plug, always disconnect coil
from main harness first. Never
check for engine ignition spark
from an open coil and/or spark
plug in the engine compartment
as spark may cause fuel vapor to
ignite.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt
in coil holes prior to removing the
spark plugs. Otherwise, dirt would
fall into cylinder and will damage
the internal components.
Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and "hook" it to
then extract spark plug.
Install new spark plugs if available or
dry spark plugs using a rag.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Crank engine several times while
keeping throttle fully depressed.
Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.
Install clean dry spark plugs if possible.
Reconnect ignition coil connector.
NOTE: Prior to inserting the igni-
tion coil to its location, apply some
Molykote 111 grease (P/N 413 707
000) around the seal area that touches
the spark plug hole. After installation,
ensure the seal seats properly with
the engine top surface.
To reinstall engine cover, push it down-
ward until it snaps.
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Never run engine with-
out supplying water to the exhaust
cooling system when watercraft is
out of water.
Towing the Watercraft
in Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft in
water.
Maximum
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).
F01B23Y
This will prevent the exhaust cooling
system from filling which may lead to
water being injected into and filling the
engine. Without the engine running
there isn't any exhaust pressure to car-
ry 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.
