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 emergency using a towline, the operator should ride the watercraft, holding onto the handle- bars.

ECJ00720

CAUTION:

●Tow the watercraft at 5 mph (8 km/h) or 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.

●Tow the watercraft using the bow eye only.

●The bow must be kept up out of the wa- ter during towing to prevent water from entering the engine compartment.

EWJ00810

WARNING

●The watercraft should only be towed in an emergency.

●The towline should be long enough so 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 keep speed to a minimum and avoid traf- fic or obstacles which could be a hazard to the rider on the watercraft.

Remove the storage compartment drain plugs to drain the water from each stor- age compartment.

(2)Install the stern drain plugs.

(3)Have the watercraft inspected by a

Yamaha dealer as soon as possible.
