Footstraps on the 650sx

[TomatCP87]

Finally got around to actually putting these on my ski. I used threaded insert nuts, and a tight fitting O ring around that. Then I drilled into the hull 1/2 inch with a slightly smaller hole for a tight fit then applied loctite marine epoxy (the best stuff i could find at home depot) and put the turf back on with the same stuff. Whatcha think??

P.S. Ill get a end result picture tomorrow as that is when i get the second footstrap.

That washer looks really big. Did you only use 1 screw on each side of the strap?

! screw on each side about 1.5 inch diameter for each strap. The insert screw had to screw on to it and it just barely did so that was nice.

hummm??? you really think that the fiberglass will hold and not just crack and break up from the constant pressure?

also did you ever get a handle pole or do you still want mine?

well hopefully the glue i used will be good enough to hold. If not ill just redo it at a later date. I didnt get a handpole but im getting closer to having the ski ocean worthy to come down and try it out and pick up that pole. i duct taped the out of my old pole and it has been holding but it looks ty.
