How to Flush a Sea-Doo GTX

Sea-Doo's GTX line of personal watercraft features tilt steering, multiple speed settings, an on-board security system and a seating capacity of three. The GTX is designed to provide riders with comfort and minimal maintenance while spending hours out on the water. When it's time to winterize your GTX or store it for a few days, be sure to flush out its cooling system. The GTX's rear water outlet gives you the ability to flush out salt and other sediment from the inside of the cooling system.
