Towing Disabled Jet Boats

Any know of being able to cut in shutoff ball valves? If so what was the size ID used (Inner Diameter)?
 
I have a set of 1/2 inch valves to install on my 210 challenger, I had 3/8 but they were to small. I have seen pictures from the sea doo site of other install and will post a pic when I get them done.
 
@Scott E ! ! ! Now I just have to head over to BallValves R Us and gterDun.
 
On my 190FSH, the water intake is after the impeller as I would assume they all are? It looks like if the throttle were pushed forward to lift the bucket, there would be no pressure build up to push water into the intake while towing. I'm going to get something to clamp the hose just in case but I'm missing something here.
 
Odd, I thought these were closed loop systems. . . .
 
The engine is closed loop, but the exhaust cooling is open loop on rotax.

Thanks. . . .I don't think many realized that distinction ( I know I didn't)
 
A question was asked on FB - if it is ok to run one engine only. The answer is YES, but only at no wake speeds.

I often will troll on one engine, or sight see slowly along a shoreline on one engine. It saves gas and less you go slow.

The only thing I keep an eye out for is keeping the engine hours balanced when I do this.

It won't damage the running engine. That's silly. And as long as you go slow, it won't damage the no running engine.
