Emergency towing

[Ben West]

I know this is beating a dead horse as I scoured the emergency towing thread, but I couldn’t find any information regarding the SVHO. Could someone share with me the location to place a clamp/valve if towing is required for my 195? Just going over the pre season checklist and I would like to keep a set of clamps on the boat. Thank you in advance!

it's the same place on all boats, just forward of the Y fitting,

Heres a link to installing a valve which is not what you asked but it shows how to clamp the cooling line.

Perfect! Thank you gentlemen. Hope I never have to tow her, but better safe than sorry!

Absolutely the right attitude!
Also, pushing the throttle forward during tow prevents pressure buildup in the pump, as an extra safety measure (it just lifts the reverse bucket so the water is not backing up).

So I just found that cooling line in the boat. I bought some clamps just to be safe, but how do you even get back in there to clamp it off? I think I would have to lay across the engines to reach it. haha.

Either that or you may be able to reach those those inside the bilge compartment - through the cleanout hatch in the swim platform.
