Just a big thanks for posting this. I just finished doing a similar install on a 2023 GTX 230. That tee fitting and those clamps were a major pain to get access to. But I got it all done! Merci from Ottawa, Canada.
You can just clamp or put the valve on the hose going to the exhaust manifold. The other line simply goes to the intercooler which then dumps back out of the ski which wont flood the engine.
I’m wondering if extended intake line somehow affect the cooling performance due to increased pressure needed some the line is extended like 20x times….
Did you use the same metal camp ring or did you get bigger one, when used on the first plastic inlet attachment to the jetski, the cold water coming in. I am worried the clamp is not the best made thats why?
Hi Brendan, is there anywhere on the intake hose or outtake to the exhaust were it's easy to crimp temporarily in case of an emergency? What is the T for on the intake hose? Are there two heat exchangers??
There is ..but it's in the back of the engine ... you need to take the cover panel off to get to it .. that's why the tow tap needs to be extended to an easily reached spot
There is possibly a better option although I’ve never fitted one. Available from New Zealand , check out this tap. 📸 Look at this post on Facebook facebook.com/share/p/dUUKtyJ7Mx8ARCPc/?mibextid=K35XfP
The CLS isn't relevant to needing a tow tap. When a breakdown happens and you need to be towed, you can still take water in and finding the lowest path it'll make its way into the engine. Hope this helps 👍 (a very brief explanation)
Only for engine cooling, not for exhaust cooling. At 0:08 see the shiny metal "can" water does enter here from the exhaust cooling system after it goes through some piping. The pressure from the running engine moves the exhaust and water out of the ski.
Hi everyone.... maybe i am missing something. Most newer seadoos have a closed loop system. They do not use water to cool off engine. So why would you need that tow tap? Can you still flood the new seadoos as you tow???
Greetings, I hope you are well. I like your idea and I want to install it on my Moto where I bought the key with the adapters because I have searched but I can't find that one exactly. Thank you

Thank you for the feedback. Cheers
I'm so new to the AWESOME jet skiing world that I don't even have one yet but...I just learned something!!! : ) Don, Ohio

You bloody legend! Appreciate this big time. Looked everywhere for this

Very tidy work.
Can you just plug the inlet?

Have you noticed any cooling issues with the extra hose length? I’ll do this to my ski, great idea 👍🏻
I’ve got 90hrs up on my ski now and haven’t experienced any problems.
@@brendancache brilliant I’m doing mine tomorrow then 👍🏻

Interesting, I thought seadoos had a closed loop system.

They do not use water to cool off engine.
So why would you need that tow tap?
Can you still flood the new seadoos as you tow???
Yes can flood the engine via the exhaust manifold. Check your instruction manual for advice.

Just go to any plumbing wholesaler or industrial hose specialist
Why on earth is this not fitted on Seadoos from the factory?
Good Question
looking for a smart solution everywhere thanks. but Does adding that extra hose affect the performance of the sea doo or does it add any extra strain.
It has no impact on performance or strain .
@@brendancache Nice man thanks for the idea. this is the best one I've seen
can you use radiator hose clamp vise-grips instead?
You could if you wanted too.
Why not just a cap for the port outside
Why does water usually run through that hose?
Raw water from the jetdrive cools the exhaust system, while coolant cools the engine
Where did u buy the hose and ball valve from?
ENZED in Australia.
Any home improvement center should carry this - not sure what size was used. Looking at the yellow handle - it looks like a gas-rated ball valve.
