TRAILERING, STORAGE
AND PRE-SEASON PREPARATION
Trailering
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 bow and
stern (front/rear) eyelets so that it is
firmly retained on the trailer. Use addi-
tional tie-downs if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not route ropes or tie-
downs over the seat as they could
produce permanent damage. Wrap
ropes or tie-downs with rags or sim-
ilar protectors where they can touch
the watercraft body.
Ensure all storage compartment cov-
ers and seat are properly latched.
A SEA-DOO cover can protect the wa-
tercraft, particularly before driving on
dirt roads, to prevent dirt entry through
the air intake opening(s).
Observe trailering safety precautions.
Launching/Loading
Before launching the watercraft, en-
sure the bilge plugs are fully screwed.
After loading the watercraft, ensure
they are removed to drain bilge.
Storage
It is recommended that the watercraft
be serviced by an authorized Sea-Doo
dealer for storage but the following op-
erations can be performed by you with
a minimum of tools.
CAUTION: Do not run the engine dur-
ing the storage period.
Engine Draining
Check engine drain hose
(lowest hose
of engine). Make sure there is no sand
or other particles in it and that it is not
obstructed so that water can exit the
engine. Clean hose and fitting as nec-
essary.
CAUTION: Water in engine drain
hose should be free to flow out, oth-
erwise water could be trapped in en-
gine. Should water freeze in engine,
severe damage will occur. Check en-
gine drain hose for obstructions.

WARNING
Always turn the fuel tank valve (if so
equipped) to OFF position when
trailering or docking the watercraft.
