Next, you need to detach and uncover the fuse box. Following the diagram supplied in the kit by Sea-Doo (also found HERE), remove the seal plugs and bus bar to install your new wire terminals to complete the circuit from your connector to the fuse box. Be mindful to follow the specific plug orientations in the fuse box. A audible “click” will be made when a terminal is properly inserted. here
All work pertaining to electricity on your PWC should begin with disconnecting the battery cables. On this particular unit, the battery is found beneath the rear starboard access panel. The electrical component support is mounted to the battery holder with the diagnostic connector attached to it. more

So how is this useful? First, it’s very relaxing for a long distance run. I don’t have to be working the throttle or checking the speedo all the time. And I can keep my throttle hand relaxed in a comfortable position. Second, by eliminating any speed variations with Cruise, I can optimize my fuel economy, which is essential on a Sea-Doo tour. here
What can Sea-Doo’s iControl do for me? Well, I really love the Cruise Control feature. I didn’t use it much at first, mainly because I thought it would be too limiting. I tried it a couple of times, but I hadn’t read my manual at the time. I throttled up to the speed I wanted to set, and then depressed and held the cruise button. A beep sounded and the green “Cruise” appeared on the upper left gauge. So far, so good, but when I wanted to change the set cruising speed I didn’t know how. Or how to shut it off. Then I read the manual…
There’s a second way Cruise is useful. When the water gets choppy, I find the best speed for that particular set of wave conditions, and then set Cruise so I’m skimming the crests as much as possible. Without Cruise on, maintaining such a constant speed is difficult because my throttle hand and fingers have a natural tendency to move and shift with the waves and the motion of the Sea-Doo. But with Cruise set, all my throttle hand has to do is grip the throttle lever tight to the handlebar to keep speed constant. That same grip also helps me maintain better control of the watercraft and hang on for dear life if the waves get really hairy! here
Changing the set speed is as simple as pressing the up or down arrow on the far right handlebar switch. This works just like most automobiles with cruise control. But there’s a difference with Sea-Doo Cruise Control. In my vehicle, I take my foot off the gas pedal after cruise is set. With Sea-Doo Cruise Control, what really happens is that I pick and set a maximum speed. To maintain this constant, selected speed, I squeeze the throttle lever to the bar. If I let off the throttle, my speed will decrease like it normally would without Cruise on. Squeeze it again and the maximum speed will be what I selected with Cruise.
A summary of how to operate Sea-Doo Cruise can also be found on the handy info card that comes with all 2011 and later iControl models. Talk to you next time! more

A mantra to live by when prepping for these types of trips is that you can never be over-prepared. Build up to your sea excursion with long watercraft rides. Find out what kinds of surprises you run into and learn what to be prepared for! [links]
2) When cruising the seas from one destination to another, choose to go with a flotilla. There is safety in numbers. Ideally, a large boat will break the seas for a smoother ride and add extra safety.
3) Convenient accessories – Among the basics, we recommend adding a Handheld GPS along with some extra batteries. A sandbag anchor will be sure to come in handy when a break is needed, and the Sea-Doo Speed Tie and Snap-in Fenders will help you be ready for easy docking once you make it to your destination.
