WARNING
EWJ00811

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 operator on the watercraft.

The towline should be long enough so
that the watercraft will not collide with
the towing boat when slowing down.
If the watercraft becomes inoperative in the
water, it can be towed to shore.
To tow the watercraft:
Use a towline that is three times the combined
length of the towing boat and the watercraft.
(1) Securely attach the towline to the bow
eye of the watercraft being towed.
(2) Sit astride the seat and hold on to the
handlebars in order to balance the water-
craft. NOTICE: The bow must be kept
up out of the water during towing, oth-
erwise water could flood the engine
compartment or water could flow backinto the engine, causing severe en-
gine damage.
[ECJ01330]
Tow the watercraft at 8 km/h (5 mph) or less.
NOTICE: Tow the watercraft at 5 mph (8
km/h) or less, otherwise water could flood
the engine compartment or water could
flow back into the engine, causing severe
engine damage.
[ECJ01320]
EJU36154
Submerged watercraft
If the watercraft is submerged or flooded with
water, drain the water from the engine com-
partment. Then, have a Yamaha dealer ser-
vice the watercraft as soon as possible.

and drain the water from the storage
compartments. (See page 50 for informa-
tion on draining the storage compart-
ments.)
(2) Drain the water from the engine compart-
ment. (See page 57 for information on
draining the bilge water.)
