Greetings,
I picked up a 96' waveblaster II to play around on. I have a pontoon boat and I want to be able to tow the WB being the pontoon some. I have read that towing could force water Into the engine and cause lots of issues. I downloaded a service manual and it appears the cooling water supply line goes from the jet pump to the engine on the starboard side of the engine compartment. Can I just install an in-line valve to block the line while towing? I would not expect the hose barbs and valve to cause any significant restriction when the valve is open but thought it was worth considering. Has anyone done this before? Is In tissues even necessary? Any advice?
Thanks!
Ben
