PROCEDURES

TOWING THE JET BOAT

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.
WARNING
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.
