break down
what are the pitfalls in towing a ski that has broken down..i heard that you shouldnt tow a ski faster than 5mph as water fills the cylinders....

Re: break down
this was a concern of mine also, if you have a late model seadoo - say a GTX they have a heat exchanger so you dont have to worry, Skis like teh Yammie FX etc you will need to block off the water inlet line, just carry a pair of vice grips on your ski in case

Re: break down
Doesnt your GTX have a closed loop cooling system ?
edit: Just found out that indeed the seadoo has a closed loop Engine cooling sys, but it does have open loop for the wet Exhaust. doh.

This caution isn't mentioned in the Yamaha owner manual for my '99 GP1200, instead they warn of taking water in the air intake while towing which may flood the hull, then enter the engine via air intake.

Re: break down
All skis need to have the inline hose clamped if your going to tow more than 5 kts.softbaiter wrote:this was a concern of mine also, if you have a late model seadoo - say a GTX they have a heat exchanger so you dont have to worry, Skis like teh Yammie FX etc you will need to block off the water inlet line, just carry a pair of vice grips on your ski in case
remembering when you tow the ski the water still gets forced through the inlett and into the waterbox ,when the waterbox fills up the water enters the cylinders and then$$$$$$$$$
hope this helps
