You keep the stock latch and put a strap ratchet under it as the best solution against destructive riding. I was running on ratchet only for some time and I never lost the hood, but still moved sideways which in some cases is critical. once the hood is not right on the seal it will leak water...
I'll tell you whats at critical importance for surf riding. Loose or not properly glued hood seal. Sideways landings push the hood sideways. If you notice the seal to stick out, you must know there is a gap and strong water intrusion. Bilge pumps will not help if you stop for little longer in...
A month ago, I did notice the motor running rich by the look of the spark plugs (very black on the ground electrode). At that time, spark plugs were going bad unusually quick. I turned back both pilot and main jets just a tad and since then the new set of spark plugs have been clean and the...
My ski actually has been running a bit rich, I recently adjusted a bit and cleared the spark plugs. They were getting black before, now they look clean.
The motor has always been running perfect regardless of the pistons situation.
Most we have here is ramps access. You load/unload before the ramp. Pulling the cart on the ramp requires little muscle but its not a big deal.. There is also little trick to get the ski on the cart from the water. If there is no ramp or direct water access then, disregard my way of...
If you have your beach cart or a stand, roll the ski next to the truck gate. get on the bed, grab the nose of the ski, pull, drag onto the bed, done.
Same think when you unload, just you are off the truck behind the beach cart.
The piston on the right side was replaced 3-4 months ago, the one on the left was pulled out yesterday. Both times I took the motor apart for different reason and find pretty much the same wear on the same spot of the rear piston. Any guess or similar experience?
I own 2010 SJ and all buds around me have pre 08. They (post/pre 08) do ride different. For flat water no 701modedSJ will backflip ever :).. for surf any ski will flip, just 3-4ft steep wave and balls needed.
You will adjust with either ski and will bond with the way it rides. I feel much more...
