Can I ask what they charge for the resleeve/new liner for your pump?

What part of the case are you I used JB Weld on the exhaust port of my 15hp Johnson outboard to port match the tuner pipe from later years. Motor ran wide open for half hour at times during week long fishing trips. Still no issues with it. JB Weld has a high heat rating, memory says 500...

Go to the Sortie! I'll be there. There's an entire new world of mods for 550s. They drop in a 750 engine and pump, widen the tray, add fish sticks, and hull extensions. I'm 200 pounds and still enjoy ripping 550s. Every super jet has wet foam! Yamaha used open cell foam in the tray and...

Zeeltronic might be the better route. https://zeeltronic.com/page/PDCIS-A02T.php You can buy complete setups, or do it yourself.

what for?... Every SXR I saw with rail caps looked like $hit. Just put some under padding over the rails and turf over all of it, making it one beautiful creature.

You can do the swap with the engine in, but it's much easier to do with the it out! Make sure you install the spring and washers! Yamaha and Kawi use the same size bendix. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FLYWHEEL GEAR RING FOR BEING TRUE! My ring bent after 800 hours and my bendix going pooey...

This has my attention. The entry is on the CORRECT side and the arm cut outs are larger. I'm still rocking a Slippery wetsuit top from 2005. It's had LOTS of use in the 20 years too.

Jet Pilots current line up of side entry vest, sucks..... They ruined the Neoprene versions, by reversing the side of entry, dropping the velcro that holds your zipper up, and the arm cut outs rub on your arms if you don't wear an under shirt. The Nylon versions were also tweaked(to be worse)...

If you've ever been pulled under by a front entry vest, you'll never go back to one. A side entry has a much higher neck opening, and does not funnel water down your front when you submerge. Skip all that wake board crap, your life is worth more.

SXRs use Styrofoam in the tray area. It's open and wet all the time. No need to redo it, since Styrofoam is closed cell foam. If you add a Versi-plug, it will drain that area and keep the ski lighter, since the siphon stops at the driveshaft bulkhead/wall.

so EVERY ENGINE that has it's sleeves hanging down into case is bad eh?............ It's 2025, post a photo or STFU

Keep talking idiot.

My friend went from a Kitty Kat to a Snoscoot at age 11-12. We thought the SnoScoot was super fast!

Finally ran my Phazer on the Lake today. We received about 6 inches of snow here, and it's been cold enough to make real ice. I thought it was running really well. I can tell my clutching is not perfect, but it's far better than anything it was before. I have the Aaen aftermarket pipe, which...

I had a XXT CR growing up. Still remember the Saturday I got it. Waited for the mail man at the mailbox for my paper route paycheck, biked to the bank as fast as I could to cash it before they closed at noon. Then had to convince my mom to drive across town to buy it at the local hobby store...
