    Did I make a mess with this hood ?

    While I was waiting for my resin to dry I glanced over at my spare hood and almost empty containers of foam. "hmm,......why knot ?" I taped the inside of the hood with masking tape and poured the foam in. My idea is that I will be able to shape the foam into a mold for my liner, lay...

    Draining the bilge, just thinking out loud.

    So here I am debating weather I should put in a one way valve or scupper. I've read through countless threads and know that the scupper leaks and the one way valve is a pain if it fails. So I was thinking, Has anyone ever tried making a trap in the 2" pipe ? I think a couple of 45* and a...

    Lord mounts ??

    My pro-tec pipe kept on snapping off the top mount where it bolts up to the stock pipe bracket on top of the head. This was a solid mount welded to the pipe without any rubber isolator at all. I'm getting it welded back together (for the third time) and would like to keep it in one piece for...

    Mid-shaft bearing housing ??

    OK, reading the many posts on here I have learned that there are 2 types. Early square and all the rest. But what is the difference ? I would love to see them side by side to compare but all I have is the old style. Since I have an older square nose 650 what would I have to do to convert...

    Powder coating ???

    I'm thinking of getting my motor blasted and powder coated. The factory finish is lifting due to corrosion so I know something has to be done. I guess I can strip it my self and paint it with rattle cans but fresh powder would look so much nicer. Just imagine a nice Yamaha blue 62T topped...

    62T rebuilt cost ??

    I picked up a 701 62T to stick into my square nose. The motor needs a rebuild and I'm just wondering what the rough cost might be. I need a crank, pistons, cylinders need to be bored(.50mm should do it), a port job would be nice, gaskets and seals, This motor would be replacing...

    Couple removal from crank ?

    Yes, I did a search. All I found was a thread on how to remove the other end of the coupler. Anyway, I picked up a Raider with a 62T last night. Pulled the head off and the thing looks perfect other than the fact that it sat for a few years and got rain water into the motor (turns over by...

    Dual bilge pumps of stock syphon ?

    Right now I have one 500GPH bilge pump and the stock syphon on my 90 SJ. It seams that it takes for ever to pump the water out of the bilge after every fountain so I was thinking of adding a second pump. I don't think I could handle the down time right now so a one way valve is out of the...

    Pole breather tube ?

    Has anyone ever attempted to put a breather tube into a stock RN pole ? I just picked up a RN pole to put on my SN (thanks Slutty) and was thinking about putting a tube in there. The pole just has some styrofoam in there that could be removed to fit a hose inside. Has anyone ever done this...

    Lets talk about Foot Holds.

    I know there are many threads on this very subject but I still have some questions. First of all, I have never ridden a ski with holds nor have I seen any live. Just looking at pictures and comparing one to the other is useless as I don't know what to look at or for in a foot hold. In...

    How many hand holds ?

    I am about to cut up a hood for my SN so I went over all the threads regarding hood mods both here and on PWCToday, I have made some templates and am playing around with the layout. It seams that I have a grasp of what is involved but the number of hand holds has me puzzled. I have never...

    Water in the separator ???

    How much water if any, is OK or normal, to be trapped in the water separator after a good weekend of riding ? I always have about a 1/4" on the bottom of the separator. I drained the fuel tank 2 weeks ago just after I first noticed the water but the tank was moisture free. When I open the...

    0 degree bars ??

    Does anyone make 0 degree bars that would bolt right up to my square nose and allow me to reuse the stock clamps, throttle and stop/start switch ?? I'm not a big fan of the bent bars but don't have the cash right now for anything fancy. I'm also hoping that with the 0 degree bars I will be...

    Square nose upgrade suggestions ?

    I have a '90 650 SJ which except for an older pro-tec pipe is all stock. She runs great and is giving me a real workout (I love it) but she does need some help in the hook up department. From reading old posts on here it seams that most like the Worx intake grate (WR-201, I believe) and...

    The fuel ON/OFF selector ????

    I'm in the process of installing a bilge pump on my square nose and was looking for places to drill holes for the through hull fitting. I want to ride tomorrow so I need to get this done now. The place on the dash where the fuel selector sits looks perfect for that, I was thinking of taking...

    Pro-Tec DDP pipe ????

    Just picked up a '90 square nose 650 and it has a Pro-Tec pipe on it. The pipe was installed along with some funky intake grate probably when the ski was new or close to it I looked on Pro-Tecs site and couldn't find anything about this pipe(I guess they don't make them any more). Can...
