I was wondering if any one had tried to put a tow harnes on there seadoo, you like you would with a Gavin/X-Scooter??

I was thinking of two possibilities.

1. to tie off to the handles, this seems like the easiest way. But it also seems like it would be the most problematic.

2. Putting some holes in the prop shroud and using a bit of stainless or aluminium to create an atachement point for the tow harnes..

Any suggestions??

thanks
Phil

This is a stainless plate that is attached to the shroud of my Tekna with two stainless bolts. The strap is an old tie down strap converted to a tow strap. This is a new strap. The previous one was just a rope. I have two plastic(oh God--don't tell the Tech police) snap buckles on each side and these are used to adjust the strap length. the brass snap is going to be sewn in. Don't worry about metal on metal or plastic or whatever, the Ol'SeaHawk goes through stuff like that as if it were hot butter. N

What about a couple of carabiners on the handles, a couple on your BC tabs and a quick-disconnect strap connecting them all together?

see the quick release section

The sea doo barely has enough power to pull 1 diver. Why would you want to?

so that you can use the scooter with one hand and also to relieve arm fatigue.

They may not have much power, but they allow you to cover a hell of a lot of ground.

It makes shore dives a little but easier.

P.S. I worked out a great harnes system and will be posting pics soon.
