717 winterization question

[vogs77]

I am going to winterize my friends ski with a 717 in it, 97 GS. Is it ok to just fill it with coolant by gravity feeding it into the supply line from the pump with the engine running. I don't have a pump to fill it but I assume it should fill everything as needed with just a funnel held up high. Is this correct?

Here is what I did, disconnected the supply line and the out line from the back of the ski and held them up high, pinched off the cly lower drain hose after the T for the pisser in the back. Filled with 3/4 gallon of antifreeze while running the ski. Coolant was coming out of the exhaust and the pisser in the back. Does this sound like I got coolant filled everywhere it needs to be?

Should be fine, but you really don't need to run the ski. Just let gravity do it's job.

You also need to fog it. Make sure there isn't any water left in the hull.

Fogged the crap out of it too, thanks for responses.

Always follow Seadoo operation manual winterization procedures. You'll know in the spring. Don't guess
