How do you run a water hose through a waverunner so I can run it on land?

Question

I have a yamaha xl 800 and a 1200r. please help

Answer 1

If you remove the seat/engine cover you will see a hose with a little s***w-off cap. If you s***w off the cap you can hook a water hose straight to the hose inside.

Answer 2

You need a flush adaptor. Its a bayonet style fitting available at your yammie dealer or online.

Flushing a pwc is a bit different than an outboard.

Because of the design of the exhaust cooling system, you must ALLWAYS START AND STOP THE ENGINE DRY! This is to prevent wetting the engines internals. Its not difficult though. This is a good procedure.

Hook up the hose to ski but do not turn hose on yet!.

Start engine.

Turn on hose, you should see water coming out the side of ski shortly. This is a cooling indicator stream. Allow to run for approx. 2 minutes.

Turn off HOSE.

Hit the throttle 5 or so times to blow excess water out of the exhaust.

Turn off engine.

Note: Don't run the engine for more than 30 secs without water as you could cause damage.

Answer 3

You need to get one of those little hook up things that you put over the waverunner and hook the water hose to it.  You know like on boats.  It's sort of the same thing.  No clue where you would get one though.  Maybe a yamaha dealer?
