i have one pisser from exhaust going into tray mounted next to hood latch for toastie feet ! the outlet on the head is piped up the pole then into middle of the bars with a brass fitting tapped in .blocked off the bar ends with silkoflex drilled 3 holes in each grip facing up and slightly forward works well . used to have pipes running across the bars but kept knocking them off doing hood tricks

There was friggin' FROST on the lawns across the canal from me this morning, and I'm a good 3 1/2 hours SOUTH of Daytona.

I'm not even goin' in if it's this cold next weekend.
This weather is just stupid.
Two years in a row we're gonna freeze our A-holes off.

I'm gonna have some nice warm hands now . Thanks for the pics 227. I dont care what your northerners say!

Make sure you don't rev it up too much catching air from waves - the water coming out after you land tends to be very hot. :biggrin:

 

[suva]

If your pump is cavitating it will get hot as well.

 

[kid4now]

My skis set up with dual cooling moving plenty of water through the motor for the normal 80 degree water temps in summer. Most of the time the cooling water is not to hot to the touch.

You run a 3/8" line up to the bars ?

 

[Matt_E]

I do.

 

[Boris]

Good to know.

My plan is to run one line up the pole and another into the tray through my unused bilge outlets.
That should keep the ice bergs at bay.

 

[kid4now]

Yes. I went to home depot to get the plastic T and found some nice black precut/packaged 1/2"x3/8"x 10' vinyl tubing for under $3. I was going to use the air compressor hose I use for my regular cooling lines in the ski but this tube is much nicer and more flexible.

That looks perfect kid. On mine I had to run a support from the hose to the throttle cable because it kept twisting away from my hands while riding. You may need a ride or two to get it dialed. Bring extra zip ties and tube on your next ride. Glad those pics helped.

I added foot/leg warmers to my ski last night. Will be adding the hand warmers tonight.

Kid did you put some kind of valve under your waterline in the engine compartment? Im thinking about doing this incase I have to vary the amout of water coming out.

-15 degrees here this morning in Palmer, Nebraska. I don't think hand warmers would do me any good.

 

[madscientist]

currently 25* here in pensacola, florida.

this winter crap is killing my water temps, just a little over week ago the water was still in the mid 60's now it is atleast 10* colder and still dropping.

 

[Tadpole1975]

I've ridden in 51* water before with a wetsuit and didn't think it was too bad. The initial shock of the temp was the worst part. My brother however was in shorts and a tee shirt. He was about the color of a beet when we finished. This was the first time I rode on my own ski. I bought it in February and this was in March. I just couldn't wait any longer. Those warmers would have come in handy then.

If you do this mod you will want a valve. You can see mine in my pic earlier in this thread.

Im at work and Pics blocked.

even if the water is 60 degrees it still affects you.....northern or southern



especially on your throttle finger.....warm water gushing over it makes it loosy goosy and will help prevent arm pump
