    I installed my mag with oem 2008 prop in my XFS - I still get some cavitation to my surprise. I am using a not so aggressive worx grate, no silicone between grate and ride plate - should I change the garte (e.g torrent from ATP) or silicone the space in between? Did you have a similar...

    Freestyle "mag" pump questions

    I have a small motor @ 727cc in my XFS. The power isn't bad for this ski, I was able to pull a 3/4 of a BF after 10 min of riding, which was NEVER possible with my RN - i like that. What I do not like is the way the power is transferred the water. After e.g a 180, it takes a bit of time for...

    Super Jet 845cc SS motor building

    Hi guys, I am considering building a cylinder to have an alternative to my 727cc. I am on a tight budget, thus not able to jump on the billet cyl. bandwagon (although I would mind it at all ). Not sure which way to go to get best power. Old saying says: no replacement for displacement...
