Where , and with what do you clamp the water line if you have to tow your ski?
I have a GSXL with a 951.
 
The line from the pump to the engine. Many places sell "line clamps". Or "pinch off clamps".

Here are two styles.

Is that the line with the tee going to what looks like a rave valve?
Someone has removed the flushing tee and put a new hose there.
 
Look on top of engine where lines are connected. Should have an line in and line out arrow cast in the head. Do a wrap of silver duct tape around it at both ends. Write "clamp here" with marker, so if family members have to tow. I have little vice grips already adjusted to work in a zip lock baggie. In the small storage under seat section. Wrap lanyard and key around clamp. So you don't forget it's clamped. Been there, done that!

I did the exact same thing on my old ski, but one thing I learned was that I needed to rust proof those vice grips, when I eventually needed them (to pull a piece of a hat out of the pump/impeller) I found them rusted shut....

Thats when i switched to the clamps that were coated, (and bought a new pair of vice grips and sprayed them with fluid film before bagging them up again)
