@WeekendersontheWater 12 дней назад

Lol, thank you! Glad it was helpful. I can see from RU-vid analytics, that 3% of people that have watched this video did so because they searched broken toe. 😂

2023 GTX 230 owner here. We can't reach the line at all without removing the entire deck. So the tow tap is essentially the only way you can do this. You install a long piece of hose that goes from the line source at the stern and run it to the front where it's accessible, then return to the back. Zero issues doing this. It just adds a second or two before the water gets to the exhaust. Which isn't an issue. Once there's water in the line, there is no delay anymore. I've done hundreds of hours on a jet boat and now my ski, both with tow taps, no issues. For anybody reading this with a similar situation.

@WeekendersontheWater 14 дней назад

Thanks for sharing. You are correct, the under seat plate must come off. If the ski is floating this is easy enough with a t30 and 10mm. It it is going under, I'd tow it slowly to a beach to get the plate off. One guy also mentioned he was able to get it using a 90° pair of pliers without having to take the plate off. I imagine he is doing it by feel.

@WeekendersontheWater by feel, impressive! FYI, I was also able to install the valve without cutting at all. Just replaced the very short hose before it splits to the intercooler (supercharged obviously). The deck is obviously doable, just not fun. Lol good videos btw.

I have been looking for this exact tow topic for my 22 GTI's. No BS. I hope I never need to clamp these off, but if I do I know where to. And I was planning on using red duct tape like you did so there won't be a question when/if I needed to do it. Awesome vid! Thank You!

@WeekendersontheWater 20 дней назад

Glad you found it helpful. I know I had a hard time finding the information initially as well. Thats why I wanted to share it.

Lewis, have a great trip to Bimini and looking forward to Christine's explanation of the adventure! I think on the 2021(which I also have and also an older ski) you appear to have pulled off the engine cover that covers half of the hull. Not hard, but likely a bit cumbersome in an emergency. I might just opt to tow at 20 or less... not sure. But thanks for a great explanation.

@WeekendersontheWater 21 день назад

Thank you! We actually just got back from Bimini, had a great time. The next video will be the crossing from Miami. You are correct about needing to remove the engine cover. I probably could have explained that better. If the ski is floating it probably would not be to difficult to remove. Otherwise I would first tow it to a beach at slow speed, apply the clamp and then continue.

Top man! Great info. Thanks from New Zealand.

@WeekendersontheWater 17 дней назад

New Zealand, wow! Thanks for tuning in! You guys must have some amazing areas to ride down there.

The only time I use the tow tap is for jazz.

You need to get yourself a tripod so your arms don’t get tired. Ha ha.

@WeekendersontheWater 19 дней назад

Lol, I'm too lazy to set up and the move the tripod.😂

@TheOceansideGuy 19 дней назад

@@WeekendersontheWater ha ha ! Time consuming too. Cant wait for the Bimini vid!

@WeekendersontheWater 19 дней назад

We had an amazing time. Will be splitting the trip up over a few videos as were there for 4 days. First video drops on Saturday. It was wild being out there in the ocean dodging container ships through the shipping lanes. Lol

@TheOceansideGuy 19 дней назад

Oh wow! Can’t wait

@rickss69 20 дней назад

Pinch pliers...don't worry with that convoluted tubing, just pinch it as well as the hose.

@WeekendersontheWater 20 дней назад

That'll probably work too. Although the plastic may crease.

@TheOceansideGuy 19 дней назад

Wow. Good information. Something that I am not very knowledgeable on. It’s always good to have the tool and not need it rather than need it and not have it. So I’m assuming you are also carrying a socket wrench along with you and that T 30 to get the deck off as well if ever needed?

@WeekendersontheWater 19 дней назад

Absolutely need the t30 and a 10mm! I've always been surprised at how few places there are to find this info. Everyone will say you need the toe tab, or the clamp, but no one will tell you where to put it. Lol
