Towing the watercraft

If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
If the watercraft must be towed in an emer-
gency using a towline, the operator should
ride the watercraft, holding onto the handle-
bars and supporting his or her body weight on
the riding tray. This will help keep the bow of
the watercraft out of the water.
EWJ00810
WARNING
The watercraft should only be towed in
G
an emergency.
The towline should be long enough so
G
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down. A
good rule of thumb is a towline that is
three times the combined length of the
towing boat and the watercraft.
The operator of the towing boat must
G
keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf-
fic or obstacles which could be a hazard
to the rider on the watercraft.
ECJ00710
CAUTION:
Tow the watercraft at 5 mph (8 km/h) or
G
less, otherwise water could enter the en-
gine through the exhaust passages or
through the air intake and flood the en-
gine compartment if it is towed too fast.
