He could be referring to the positive lead grounding out to the starter body too. When the brushes get worn so much that people keep holding the start button, it heats up the positive post on the starter...A LOT...then it melts the plastic insulator and the threaded post grounds out against the...

Well folks, I have at long last made my first trip out with the new kayak and do I ever love it! It tracks well, it can really move if I need it to. It's good and stable...I've been missing out all these years lol. My first trip was a solid half day adventure. We paddled 2 joining lakes for the...

I think you're on the right track :) A little more height and you should be good. Other than that you're definitely looking good. I'm with you on not having anyone to ride with. The only guy that was more advanced in freestyle than me was on an EME hull doing backflips but he did barrel roll an...

^^ love it lol

Jimmy Visser barrel rolled a 3D in All My Crazy Friends :D ... can't remember what part but I think it was part 3 :)

I've been a ski owner since I was 13 and I'm 46 now. I know that my 96 RN is not only a rare thing to have around here but I also rebuilt everything on it and know every inch of it. I once in a while question if I should sell everything off but then just like mthomps I get out for that odd ride...

Unfortunately around here there's not much of a population of ski peeps and what is there for the most part, isn't the type I would be willing to associate with. I don't ride with anyone that doesn't respect others, keeps a healthy distance from all boats and each other unless there's a good...

Same here, I didn't really start pushing my limits until about 8 years ago and what is pushing it for me, is probably what a lot if not most of the guys here would consider close to beginner level. I can't backflip or barrel roll and to me, when I finally get those down then I will consider...

I'm currently at the local boat launch where I exclusively go...we have others but not as nice as this one... it's windy, it's wavy, it just looks beautiful and it makes me wonder. For anyone that has retired from the freeride life, or knows someone that has, do you or they miss it? My reliable...

Is it threaded on the ends like a steering cable? If so and you know the thread pitch, maybe get a 1/4" mild steel round bar about twice as long as the tube, drill and tap the end and try to get it to thread onto the cable end if you think it's in a position to do so. Use a die on the other end...

Keep in mind if he's a business owner and a thief, he's probably doing half a$$ed work and screwing the customer over. I hate shady business practices. I told a guy off once because he thought he could sell a ski that he had me try to repair. It belonged to his son, his son bought it and asked...

Definitely add pics, it will help with ideas that might work. I second the helicoil idea.

I'm not sure what is considered too hot, maybe someone else can chime in on that. As for the hot water I don't know what to suggest as I have never had the issue. I have seen it on a WaveBlaster with a Factory Pipe on it but it never blew up and it was used a bunch. It belonged to a guy in my...

Glad to see you have some experience with wrenching, it definitely helps to narrow down the issues. When you redid the seals and gasket, did you do a pressure test on the assembled motor as well? That'll be the final test for air leaks with the engine cold. Since the crank was rebuilt, as long...

It could be the temp sensor doing it. You should get inside the ebox and unplug it anyway as they are known to be problematic. While you're inside there do a test on the coil too. The primary winding which is the small bullet connector wires coming from the coil are unplugged and the test probes...

I'm pretty sure the spacers are just add-ons to the parts you've mentioned. Yamaha doesn't like to make new moulds and individualize parts unlike another pwc manufacturer that I very much dislike. You can easily put one of the engine mounts next to one in the Blaster hull if the engine is still...

Yeah I'm not overly happy with the box extender but I already had it and spent everything I had and more on the kayak alone. I thought about racks but not keen on having it on my roof. The extender is nice because it's the right height for me to work with. But I do need to fine tune things to...

It finally arrived this morning. I just got home with it about 45 minutes ago. I still have some details to figure out regarding the tailgate extender and some other things but at least it's here! Now I can get the unknowns ironed out like shimming the tailgate extender so it doesn't bounce in...
