Water pressure and Flushing

[lexer440]

I read a thread about running a seadoo on the hose in which a guy stated the person had given it too much water but cannot find the thread again.

I generally just start it up and then turn on the water, never really thought about water flow or pressure before until i read that thread and it made me wonder, Should the garden hose be full on? Can you actually give these things more water than they should get at idle and maybe flood them?

Re: Water pressure and Flushing

I never turn my garden hose up to full volume when running my jet ski engines. They just don't need that much cooling water at idle and for quick blips of the throttle. I look at the side of my Yamahas where the visual water outlet hole is on the side of the hulls and just use my judgement on how much water pressure to use. Never full blast!
