Injuries do take the joy out of things and we do this stuff to have fun and the rush. I am soon to be a 50 year old man. My body is beat up from dirtbikes , raodracing and years of abuse. My son and I started riding standups last year and really enjoyed it. We have been wrenching and glassing...

I just got a bolt 18mm x1.5 like Jakespeed suggested. The bolt end bottoms out on the crank end then pops the threaded flywheel off.

Here in South Carolina lake Hartwell is down about 11 foot. It has made for a difficult summer.

I think it is a bad idea, could be wrong. We use PB Blaster for rusted hardware loosening (penetrate oil). On the can it states it will eat thru a styrofoam cup so it may damage certain materials.

^ Good info

Thanks for the info sounds like good news. I have yet to get this ski in the water and just hope it all stays together.

Took the pump out of my 92 750SX and noticed the pump was modified when compared to a 750 ss pump I have. Looks to have differant veins and obvious tig weldind and grinding. Can someone let me know the advantage or disadvantage of this. Thanks Roger

X2 on stopping by Optima Racing. I am truly looking forawrd to it.

I like it best during the summer when the students are away, but the low lake levels this year have made things difficult. Football season is crazy, just like Athens. Are you going to the races? I have never been before. Later Roger

Yes 11.6 ft http://water.sas.usace.army.mil/home/indexDU.htm We plan on going to the event. I live on the SC side near Clemson University.

Servo motor rudder and a remote might be fun for a short while.

It typically refers to the upper limits of the speed range of a vehicle. Other terms would be "Big End, Up Top, Snort etc ,etc" My JS 300 will do a screaming 28mph on the top end. Top end also refers to the engine componets above the cranckase on an internal combustion engine, minus fuel...

Bushings in and everything seems good. I can post pics if anyone is interested.

Kevbo I think you are correct. Looks like the pole just has fat washers on the outside and egged out hole in the pole. Hope I can make the UMI bushings work. The guys at Blosion said the inner diameter should be correct.

I was thinking about just epoxying (sp) the slop in the hole and using stockers. If the UMI bushings work I will post pictures of the process. Seems like this would be a common problem on thrashed skis. Glad you got your pole fixed on the cheap, sounds like it worked well,
