When you tie off a jet ski to the dock, where do you tie off on the ski.

i use a bungee dock rope and wrap it in the loop underneath the handle bars then tie off to the dock. if the current is swinging bad, i'd tie another bungee rope to the backseat and drop a bumper on the side

I don't know that anyone else does.. but this is how I do it and now all my friends to the same thing.

Assuming you're referring to a floating dock:
1) Pull up parrallel to the dock with the front of the doo facing the current so that the dock cleat (on the dock) is in the middle of the seadoo
2) Tie the dock line to the MOORING CLEAT LOOP and then tie off to the DOCK CLEAT
3) Then run the rest of the line through the REAR GRAB SEAT RAIL and back to the same DOCK CLEAT where i tie it off ontop of the previous knot

SEE PIC.. I TRIED TO 'PENCIL' IN RED where the line would go without making it too confusing.


MODIFICATIONS:
1) If you don't have enough line to make it back to the dock cleat the 2nd time, then just tie it off to the rear seat grab rail with a bowline knot.
2) If you don't have a SeaDoo mooring cleat then you can use the front towing loop
