In case of engine trouble and if I need a tow, then my Sea Doo requires a shut-off valve (tow tap) to be turned -- which is not easy with the cover on.

I carry a small vice grip with me that has flat teeth to crimp the water line. It serves the same purpose.

I installed my tow tap at the inlet if the exhaust manifold, I only have to remove the seat and reach down the side.

Owners manual is saying no more than 5 MPH but the FP 2022 service manual on page 13 says no more than 15 MPH. Which is plenty of speed for a tow anyway. But I'm trying to figure out why we have two different speeds recommended

Is a tow tap needed for a closed loop cooling system?
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper Месяц назад
It is on a Sea Doo if you want to tow faster than 5 to 10 mph. (Check owner's manual for exact speed)

Nice idea for sure, was wondering if you had access to the ski hole "portal" would you be able to reach it with your pvc pipe if it was long enough or would it be at a bad angle for turning the valve?
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper 2 года назад
I tried but the angle wasn't right... But I like your thinking!

@@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper Is it possible to install the tap on another part of that same line to make it more accessible or was that the only place the dealer could put it?
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper 2 года назад
Dealer put it in a logical spot, but I do think it could be done slightly differently to help turn the valve easier

Great question! When I got the updated plumbing to fix the starting issues last yeat, they yanked out my tow tap. I need to contact BRP engineers on the new recommended placement with the plumbing changes...

Yes - mine is a Trophy, and for '22, I'm pretty sure that was the only Sea Doo to get the 2nd battery stock.

Great idea, just like you were saying it will be a sum-bitch to access if needed while on the water. Hope you won’t find out. Thanks for sharing Billy D

Good question. I'm not sure if it is easy to plug on the inlet side.

Yes but you have to jumb into the water to access it

@@jomjohny And even then you cannot access it. Its small holes drilled into the pump housing. Short of jamming a whole towel inside the pump, there is no way to stop the flow from the outside of the ski.

What size is that pipe so I can put one in as well. I am going to put it up front. If you follow that pipe it will enter the exhaust manifold towards the front battery.
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper Год назад
I'm not sure. I had the dealer install it, and the ski is in storage.

Double check the swing radius on the tow valve. It looks like it will hit the rubber drive shaft housing/ seal.you may have to trim the end slightly.

Great eyes!!! You are correct... It does rub slightly. Time to get the Dremel out...

How are you going to do this on the ocean? It seems like a stretch on land.
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper Год назад
(Sorry - just saw your comment) I agree... reaching down in there in heavy chop would have been nearly impossible. rerouting so the valve is closer to the top would have been MUCH better.

Why not just plug the hole from the outside ?
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper
@MichaelStraubSeaDooLooper Год назад
Great question! My dealer installed it... I'm guessing the hole on the outside is not something easily plugged...
@txpyroguy817
@txpyroguy817 5 месяцев назад
The water enters from inside the pump, you cannot plug anything from the outside.
