    Fuel line for a Yamaha WaveBlaster 1

    I second the OEM fuel line. I believe JetManiac also now offers the same quality in 1/8" primer diameter and OEM quality cooling line. It's not just the fuel that is the problem. The clear cooling lines harden too.

    Has anyone tried 3d printing a hull?

    The Kinect is not really supported by Xbox in new games despite Microsoft pushing them very hard for a while. That means there are still plenty around with no real use. I got mine for free. You only need a USB adapter which is about $25. I used the Microsoft scan app for free...

    Has anyone tried 3d printing a hull?

    I'm a hack and I'm going to answer you as a hack. I'm not sure about your budget situation since you have no problem throwing away hulls. It would be easy to drop $1-2k in materials to build 1 hull so the idea of that being disposable is a bit outside of the realm of the methods I am willing to...

    X2 750 swap

    The best bet is 650 pipe and just be happy with it. I believe the most power per fitment is an opened up westcoast manifold, FPP head pipe and superjet mod chamber with a Superjet (or other left -> right flow) going to a B1 exhaust outlet. I did the Superjet waterbox and was happy. Went back to...

    XL760 dash computer

    I have a friend with an XL760 and the computer seems to be dead. I know these are hard to come by and when you can find them they are either just as old or very expensive. He said he can jump the brown and red wire and start the ski. What is the best way to deal with this issue these days. My...

    Kawasaki 650 X2

    There is a lot of information in the X2 section. You should spend some time there. If you stick with the 650 motor, then there are a lot of 650 pipes that are compatible with the hull. Keep it simple. Stick with what has been designed to fit. It is best to go with a waterbox made for the X2...

    89 X2 with a 750 small pin, Sudco blue 42mm Help?

    Buy genuine carb parts. I bought SBT rebuild kits and couldn't get them to seal. I put the old parts back in and got the tests correct. I then bought genuine mikuni kits and had great results. I also had more issues with leaking needles with generics that I didn't have with genuine mikuni parts...

    3D Printing Boat Bimini Parts

    The 3D printer only works on the X and Y axis at a time. Then it moves up on the Z axis and repeats the process. The 3D part is made using a 2.5D process. Imagine if you laid up a jet ski hull one layer at a time, letting each layer cure before laying the next layer. A 3D movie gives you a...

    3D Printing Boat Bimini Parts

    Ultimately 3D printed parts are not 3D. They are 2.5D. They are a bunch of 2D layers mounded on each other to make a 3D part. This causes the Delamination. I use my 3D printer a lot for patterns. You can either 3D print a part and lift a mold off of the part or 3D print a mold and inject the...

    3D Printing Boat Bimini Parts

    Yes you can make working bimini parts with 3D printing. I do not believe a 3D printed part is the best choice for your application. I agree with the rubber part. Not sure you can cut rubber with a router, but one thing I use my 3D printer for a lot is making patterns. I print the pattern...

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    I 100% agree with this. People always give me a hard time about my X2 never running and I always tell them, that's the point. My superjet is bolt ons, always run and is a great ride, My X2 is like an old car. The thing I enjoy so much about the X2 is modifying it. I'd get it running and then...

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    That's like telling someone not to buy an el camino because they can buy a colorado. X2 is fine as long as you're not trying to turn it into a waveblaster.

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    I have a similar setup, but the 10/18, which is too much even with a couple more light upgrades. I think I was dialed in close, except the prop being too tall. If you wanted to use a larger waterbox and a right side exhaust, use a superjet waterbox and a B1 outlet. I have not done it but I...

    Input on X2 hull mods?…etc

    My first and foremost advice is to take any advice with caution. I spent a lot of years modding my X2 chasing a level of performance I never reached. Here are some things I learned... No one with an X2 can tell you what to do. There is too much frakensteining going on. My Superjet was easily...

    Hull inserts, replacing/adding trim tube - best methods & materials?

    Packing with Clay or wax are both options. Leaving a waxed bolt in can work too. On a piece of my tray I could access both sides, I waxed the bolt and bolted it in from the outside then covered it from the inside. I didn’t do a trim tube but I did a cooling tube. I used thickened epoxy for...

    Need a helmet at daytona

    I just realized I forgot my helmet. I’m hoping to ride at 9am as soon as the zone opens. Does anyone have a helmet I can borrow / rent / buy for the weekend or the location of where I can buy something tonight? I have good helmets at home so the more affordable the better. I wear a medium or...

    Am I out of line on this ?

    Make your breath worse than his and then see what he says to you. Then give him the good ol' pot and the kettle comment.
