How many people can ride on a jet ski while towing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Take the number of passengers the jet ski can hold, subtract the number of people towed, and that's how many people can ride. One of them must be the driver. One of them must be the observer, to alert the driver if the person towed is in distress so the driver can concentrate on driving. This means you need a 3-person jet ski to tow one person.

How do you hook up running water to a sea doo jet ski?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the make, model, and year. Some have a threaded pipe at the back of the ski near the nozzle. Some have a connection with a valve near the back of the ski on the inside. Some require you to disconnect a pipe or put a hose pincher on. Check your owner's manual or post your make, model, and year.

CAUTION: You must follow the correct procedure for your particular jet ski. If you turn the water on or off too soon or too late, you can cause serious engine damage or damage to driveline components. The manual will tell you where to hook up too. So if you have to ask this question, you really just shouldn't be doing it.
