I was at a friend's house last night helping him out with his jet boat engine. He has the head off for a new gasket replacement and was showing me the machining marks on the gasket surface. It looks awful, almost as if the machinist that did it ran one insert at about 400 rpm and a feed rate of...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever broken a stock round nose pole bracket. Mine appears to have some spider cracking but at the base, not near the pivot bolt. I have a Blowsion lowered bracket but it seems to me that everything I have bought of theirs has horrible quality control for proper...

G'day fellers, I am in need of some input here. I want to setup my pump for triple cooling. The intent is to dual cool the engine, and have a dedicated cooling supply line for the pipe. My question is, is this possible to do with a stock 144 pump? Is the pump housing thick enough to tap directly...

Every year I see ads placed on kijiji, in the pwc section, that either have zero relevancy to pwc's or are just so ridiculous you have to laugh at them. Here is a great one entitled..."try your trade" lol. The guy is posting a 1950's 5.5 or maybe anywhere up to a 7.5 hp Evinrude outboard motor...

As it says, this is not a ski video specifically but it does feature a couple of our boys...Zack Bright and Mark Gomez. I don't know if I want one of these things or not lol. Oh, and observe what happens when you try to toss your ski rather than ride out the failed barrel roll or backflip. Zack...

I was thinking about this for a little while now. What is the most pristine ride location you have ever been to? Post pics if you have them. I'm a big time enthusiast for tent camping, hiking, backpacking...just being in the woods basically. One thing I also really love is visiting little...

Over the last week or two I have been researching the various reviews on taper bore modified stock sbn38 carbs on the round noses and found there seems to be very mixed reviews about them. It also seems that the reviews I have found at least are somewhat dated so I am wondering if anyone has had...

Welcome to another one of my ridiculous threads where nothing ever needs to make sense...it's almost like being in the homeland of the Dodo from Bugs Bunny :D I thought this might bring about some good entertainment so here goes... A few years ago just after I bought my 650sx I was out ripping...

I had a thread posted looking for a Coffman's Sizzler exhaust manifold, a few days later the man Rushford sends me a pm with one he was willing to part with. A few pics and some great conversation, I am now one happy manifold owner. Not only did I get the manifold but another good friend among...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has ever tried making the foot tray on their ski removable for easy access to the either pump inserts, foam replacement or changing out scupper hardware. It seems like it would be a smart thing to do...how often it would be used to access inside the tunnel...

Ello lads and lasses, I thought about the recent talk over epoxy work and porting. After a few hours of compiling info and researching I found this little link. It is spreadsheet database with a rather comprehensive set of variables that may be of some interest to the guys in the know. You will...

I keep noticing when I am in the "Forums" main page that below my avatar it shows various stats but also shows "points". I could search it out but I'm lazy today and don't wanna lol. So what I am wondering...and I am sure this will seem ridiculous but hey, somebody needs to be a weirdo around...

Do you remember this thread? http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/whats-every-one-wearing-for-helmets.147731/page-2#post-1599866 It was a good lead into the helmets everyone was wearing from the previous (2013 and under) seasons. I thought it might be a good idea to introduce a thread with...

A buddy of mine picked up a jet boat just recently with a Mercury 4 cylinder 2-stroke inside. He was having a hard time keeping it consistently running properly. One time it would sound fine, another time it would barely run so he called me up to see if I could give him a hand with carb work and...

Hey hey, I have this one quick question which most likely will bring on a few more...seems to be the way :D I want to buy a Dasa single intake for my 62t but in the description it states that it is meant for the V-Force 2 reed assemblies. My question is has anyone ever tried to use stock cages...

Hey peeps, I figured I would put out a little bit of info. Perhaps some of you will find this useful, but essentially I wanted to get a little bit of knowledge out there regarding fuel. Make no mistake, the prefix to the thread is Octane but I thought it just worked with the subject at hand :D...

So I have been chasing an issue for some time now and after reading some recent postings about the pump seal I have to wonder if my pump seal has been the culprit the entire time. All mods aside, essentially what I have been experiencing is a symptom similar to bouncing off the rev limiter but a...

I figure that it was time to introduce an updated version of this sort of thread. So let's hear it, what have you all done this year, last year, whenever...that ended up being fit for the idiots guide. It could almost be equivalent to the Darwin Awards, the more ridiculous, the more...

I just bought a nice 62t CDI. Just before buying it I had only assumed that my ski uses 62t electronics. Of course I checked to be certain, but that brought an interesting question to mind. When it comes to all things electrical , which takes precedence? It would make sense that the CDI should...

Hey fellas, I put together a little video of some Lake Ontario freeriding. It was on July 05th, we had the inland winds from Hurricane Arthur off the east coast about 950 miles away. I had it in the best videos thread but moved it to here since it is not a best video type lol...but hey, give me...
