stock SN hood,do the slutty hood mod,it will mainly fix your problem.

yeah i understand that,you could search around for one of the superjetlouie hood kits.They are kinda pricey but well worth it!

yea looking into it more it seems like i can do the hood mod without repainting it. i may be doing it soon. my bilges have been weird to, its like they arent shooting out the water they used to, my buddies shoot out twice as hard? maybe i need to rewire them or something.. i dunno? atleast its running good now.

Your impeller inside of them might have a piece of junk in them or might be missing a blade.And also if you dont wanna do the hood mod you could put in a scupper,it will get the water out quick!

yea ive thought about that...is that easier than doin the hood mod?? any info on them?

 

[chips]

actually i think im just going to look more into the hood mod and do that. i might need to adjust my hood hooks a little too so the hood fits on a little differant. last season i didnt seem to get nearly as much water in and since i got my new pole and had to drill new holes for the hood hooks it might be a little bit off.

Did you put silicone underneath your pole bracket? S.N suck when it comes to taking on water. I have had 2 and they both have the same problem!

Me and my buddy just installed my scupper a little bit ago.Its a easy job if you got the right tools,it just took us a afternoon.Just do your homework on both of them.Just the hard part on doing the hood mod is getting the stock liner out.

People like the versiplug, the scuppers seem to leak alot...

 

[CarFanatic]

whats the versiplug? when you say leak, you mean leak into the ski or into the foam?

 

[FreestyleFreak]

I like my x-metal a ton.It leaks barley any,but its also new so the rubber on the flapper hasnt worn out yet.I heard the new versa-plug max is nice.

 

[orangefinger]

I know its a silly question do you only have the oem bildge...??
