The starboard side is your cooling line. That sends water from the pump to your exhaust/engine for cooling. I'd leave that intact.

The hose on the port (left) side is for your siphon bilge. Keep that. That'll pull water out of your hull while you're riding. Any water in that line will drain out.

From the service manual: Up to you at this point. You could get a new wear ring while you're installing the whole thing to have that piece of mind, but would probably work just fine with your old one.

Keep it

Yep

They're stickers then clear coated over at the factory. You might be able to get some from Rickter, but it's tough.

Fix everything else on that ski first, then do the emblem if you're still feeling frisky.

I've never seen anyone get those items before. I'd say the only luck you'd have is contacting Rickter directly. Then maybe try every Rickter dealer and see if they have access to emblems. I doubt you'll find the turf, just get standard hydroturf and do it yourself.

Never seen anything like that.

When I sunk a ski my fuel tank filled up with water. I disconnected the fuel lines and sucked out some water (to create a siphon) and drained the water until fuel came out (fuel lighter than water, so the fuel was on top). Hard to say what your problem is exactly, but keep going through it now...

Yeah and even that is a sticker that can easily come off on earlier models. Hard to tell what XFS/XFR year that is by looking at it. Have more pics?

I picked one up at a local Yamaha dealer (one that didn't sell watercraft).

I'd bet they'd be able to fix it.

Paying Paypal a 3% fee for purchase protection may just be worth it. It can screw the seller though if the buyer is trustworthy as well. "Friends and Family" doesn't offer any protection, but doesn't cost anything and is easy like Zelle. Zelle has pretty low transfer limits. Limits below...

Paul is pretty much a modern day super hero.

I had them ship to the store, was a few days but pretty easy.

Lowe’s. Just bought two etx12s

Pop the head off and take a look. Rotate it by hand and check things out.

Damn if you could you’d be a hero.

Yep, I've ran lots of VF3s in that manifold on various motors.
