Weather conditions and poor seamanship do not appear to be significant contributing factors,\u201d the Coast Guard <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/media.tradeonlytoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17144514\/1_SEADOO.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The recall action includes partial sealant application to specific sections of the hull, additional product warning labels and an addendum to the operator\u2019s guide.<\/p>\n<p>The Coast Guard recommends the following precautions to minimize the risk of capsizing:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid operating with any trim by the bow. Weight distribution must be toward the stern.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction at non-planing speeds.<\/li>\n<li>If trim by the bow occurs, gradually reduce the throttle and reposition passengers farther aft.<\/li>\n<li>When approaching or coming off plane, exercise awareness of instability or nosediving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p>The full recall guidance <a href=\"https:\/\/sea-doo.brp.com\/us\/en\/owner-zone\/safety\/safety-recalls\/front-overload-risk-of-capsizing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/coast-guard-safety-recall-information-for-sea-doo-switch\/\">US Coast Guard Safety Recall Information for Sea-Doo Switch<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/\">Boating Mag<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Staff<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.com\/boats\/coast-guard-safety-recall-information-for-sea-doo-switch\/\">Go to boatingmag<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Coast Guard Safety Recall Information for Sea-Doo Switch The Sea-Doo Switch Cruise 21.
