1 week into standup riding, bilge pump failure + out of gas in the channel of LOTO

matt, uhhhhhh it's back on brotha..



I knew there had to be reason mine didn't flood

I mentioned a couple of pages ago that a restriction in the stinger line would lessen the problem significantly. :cool2: :biggthumpup:

I think Yamaha meant towing without anyone on the ski... It WILL sink and of course will take water in.

I don't think so. The manual mentions having someone on the ski for towing, separately. Don't make me upload another page. :haha:
And if you sank it that way, water wouldn't get in through the exhaust.

Seems like when towing a stand up, the shorter the rope for towing helps keep the nose up, thus less water in the engine compartment. Just me $.02

IDK.... the last (and only) time I was pulled back was with a short rope. The jet wash from my friends WR3 would swamp the front end.:shrug:

Just been keeping that to yourself for two and a half years?

Finally had to get it off your chest?

My 440 battery died about 2 miles away from "home", so my friend (93rx7 on here) rode back to his place, got his boat, came all the way back to where I was with my 440, hooked up, went to start his boat, and starter was ed and making all kinds of crazy noises, and it wouldn't start. He ended up getting a ride back to his place again, and came back with his superjet, and ended up having to make a train and towed the boat with his superjet while my 440 was hooked onto the back of the boat. :rofl:

Did that happen sunday? If you were close you should have tried to make it back this way for help. Hope your skis are ok now.
