I prefer the Body Glove "Bones" ski gloves. Mine are about 18 months old and are still in perfect condition.

A multi meter is an invaluable tool when trying to troubleshoot electical problems. Sears has one on sale for 10 bucks. First use it to test the voltage of the batery then use it to find the voltage drop in the system.

Before you even begin sanding, you must remove all waxes, mold release agents etc. I've had good results using Interlux products. I don't think you are painting a yacht but yachtpaint.com is a great source of information. I've always used Interlux 202 solvent wash before sanding and painting...

I aplologize. You are all correct. Back to skis. Once again I apologize. I had a momentary lapse in judgement.

Just wanted to share with you guys my experience at the "other" site. I'm sure a lot of folks on here frequent both sites. I ended up editing this post because it was done in haste. Long story short, your probably going to be seeing a lot more of me over here. As I'm pretty sure my account will...

Nicely done. Is the plate and grate painted, powdered or anodized? That color combination does look sweet.

Thats the stuff I was using. Works too good. Leaves a nasty yellow coating on everything. Works really well for long term storage of parts but if you like your engine compartment to look pristine, I wouldn't use it. I switched over to Fluid Film this year. It's lanolen based and actually reacts...

Just wanted to share my buying experience with TWilson. Picked up 3 pair of Slippery neopreme shorts from him, were new with tags. Great price and were shipped super fast. Thanks!

I can't believe I couldn't find any posts on here for FX-1's. I have a chance to pick up a '95 FX-1 and wanted to hear from those familiar with the ski. I'm debating wether I should hold off for either a square or round nose. The ski is in fair shape and comes with a trailer for $900. I really...

What hood strap did you go with?

I've had good results from Interlux Bilgekote. Kind of expensive. West Marine sells it by the quart.

I went out Saturday morning and my carb is still giving me some problems. I don't want to take the chance on my new motor so I'm going to wait till my carb comes in next week. The old BN just isn't worth the rebuild. I rebuilt the pump and wanted to turn some rpms before I sealed it in. You...

Hate to put graphics on it cause it took me days to get the old ones off but a little on the plain side.
