ence of water in the bilge. Drain as
necessary when back to the shore.

Submerged Watercraft

To limit damages to the engine, per-
form the following procedure as soon
as possible.
Drain bilge.
If it was submerged in salt water, spray
bilge and all components with fresh
water using a garden hose to stop the
salt corroding effect.

Never try to crank or start
the engine. Water trapped in intake
manifold would flow towards the
engine and possibly cause severe
engine damage.
Bring the watercraft to an authorized
Sea-Doo dealer as soon as possible to
have it serviced.
NOTICE
The longer the delay be-
fore you have the engine serviced,
the greater the damage to the en-
gine will be.

Towing the Watercraft in
Water
Special precautions should be taken
when towing a Sea-Doo watercraft in
water.
The maximum recommended towing
speed is 21 km/h (13 MPH).
If you have to tow the watercraft,
clamp the water supply hose in the
engine compartment.
To access the water supply hose, pull
out the LH access cover below the LH
side of the seat and slide rearward to
remove.
WARNING
Some components in the engine
compartment may be hot. To
avoid injury, wait for engine to cool
down.
CAUTION Make sure the hose
is properly clamped before towing
the watercraft. If hose is not prop-
erly clamped when engine is not
running, water will accumulate in
the exhaust system, will enter the
engine and cause damages.
NOTICE
Failure to follow these
instructions may result in damage
to the engine. If you must tow a
stranded watercraft in water, be sure
not to exceed the maximum towing
speed of 21 km/h (13 MPH).
