Towing to the beach

[wareagle5693]

Hey guys! I haven't been around here much but back in March we got an 09 RXT-X from our friends. Now I'm taking it to the beach. It is about a 3 hour ride from where I live. Is there anything I need to do to take it down there? I mean for the 30 minute ride up to the lake its nothing just leave it attached to the winch at the eye on SeaDoo. Should I tie it down any better for the beach trip or is it fine as it is?

I would deffinantly tie it up better... id do both sides, and the back

Aight thanks man Probably will. Just gotta get it back from the service dept. first.

i always strap it down front bow eye and then the back for sure. Sides is a little overkill in my opinon if you got the back strapped correctly.

I would ALWAYS tie it up better no matter how far you tow it. Is it really worth losing your machine to save three minutes of time? Ratchet strap on the bow hook to the trailer in front, and ratchet strap from one side of the trailer through the tow hook to the other side of the trailer on the back.
