    Can enhancers be repaired?

    I have an MSD enhancer I pulled out of my boat a couple of years ago. I got water in the e-box and had issues. I dried it out and cleaned up all the connections. I put the msd back in and the boat would run totally fine for about 5 minutes then start to miss and quit. I pulled the enhancer...

    What is this trailer worth?

    My uncle is selling his single place painted sea doo trailer. A friend of mine who is looking for a SuperJet might buy it. It's in good shape but probably about 10 years old. What's it worth? I was thinking $200 is probably a fair price for both of them. Chad

    Rev foothold install

    Wow, I just got some REV footholds. I like the feel of them, but install looks like it will be a PITA! I have installed Rickters before and they are pretty simple. My current footholds I made years ago myself just by shaping and wet laying the glass. These seem like they will be a pain to...

    Hoses and flush kits

    Who is bringing hoses and flush kits? Does everyone usually bring their own? I used to have an old in line flush kit. I was thinking about trying to make one to hook up to the pisser. What works best?? With 250 skis this process could be tricky.

    SuperJet quit running...help.

    Okay, my faithfull square nose let me down. I was riding along and it was running perfect. All of a sudden it quit...like someone pulled the teather. It wouldn't re-start, so I towed it to shore. After sitting on the beach for 10 minutes it started right up. I put it in the water and it ran...
