Hey guys. I think this was discussed long ago but don't think anyone knew exactly. I don't like the fact that SeaDoo states you have to clamp a certain hose should you ever need to get towed in the water and yet that hose is so far down in the inside of the Spark, its not reachable without taking the top off. If you are disabled on the water you can't take the whole upper deck off.
So anyway... I was wondering if anyone knew if the flush kit for IBR sparks is the same little hose that leads to the hose you need to clamp for towing? If so could you just seal that off if you needed to get towed?
This brings me to the other question.... I don't like how cheap the flush kit port is under the IBR. I feel like the cheap plastic threads on it are already stripping from screwing a hose adapter in there each time to flush it. The adapter I screw in is a quick release one and when there is no hose attached it pretty much blocks flow of water going in there. If this is the same thing as clamping the hose when in need of a tow I'd be thrilled.
I plan on leaving the adapter on there instead of unscrewing and stripping the threads on the flush kit more. I checked the clearance and it doesn't stick out much from the port and I turned the steering and could tell that it and the IBR won't hit it with their moving parts. However.... I'm wondering if this needs to be open when I'm riding. Pretty dumb questions but would love to know. I haven't ridden it since I left the quick release adapter on there last time and figured I should ask someone who knows before I do.
Thanks guys! :x
