Check the applicable laws and regula-
tions in your area concerning towing a
trailer, especially the following rules:
– brake system
– tow vehicle weight
– mirrors.
Take the following precautions when
towing the watercraft:
Tie the watercraft to both front and rear
(bow/stern) eyelets so that it is firmly
retained on the trailer. Use additional
tie-downs if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not route ropes or tie-
downs over the seat or grab handle
as they could cause permanent
damage. Wrap ropes or tie-downs
with rags or similar protectors
where they can touch the watercraft
body.
B
Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers and seat are properly latched.
Make sure seat is securely latched
before prior to trailering.
A SEA-DOO cover can protect the wa-
tercraft, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry through
the air intake openings.
Observe trailering safety precautions.

Launching/Loading

CAUTION: Before launching the wa-
tercraft, ensure the bilge drain plugs
are fully screwed. After loading the
watercraft, ensure they are removed
to drain bilge.
