Accusteers look nice but they are very soft. I had trouble keeping the head shimmed tight on the shaft, it was too short for the bending load. Stainless bearings always installed after the first season.

On the Texas Gulf coast, corrosion will be what eventually kills your ski. With a little care it will last longer than almost anyone stays with the sport. Make an effort to keep it dry and oiled. Fogging the engine will help a lot on fourstrokes. I have let a twostroke ski sit in the garage...

If there is enough water in an engine to freeze then theres enough to cause major corrosion. Two strokes can handle a little water in the engine for short periods because the premix covers everything. The oil film will eventually break down and rust will form. Four stroke valves will corrode...

The engines in Krash skis do hold water so getting some antifreeze in them is important. Yamaha and Kawasaki’s drain well enough. I recommend running them dry until the head gets too hot to hold onto. It takes longer than most p think it would. I see lots of rust inside engines that have been...

The engines in Krash skis do hold water so getting some antifreeze in them is important. Yamaha and Kawasaki’s drain well enough. I recommend running them dry until the head gets too hot to hold onto when you are done for the day. It takes longer than most people think it would. I find lots of...

I have noticed that many large corps will use charismatic and heavily tatted guys to supervise basic workers. They seldom make it higher than that level. Two party systems allow everyone to latch onto something. Keep in mind, wealthy people are the only ones that matter.

Its good to be the king!

That will work well. Run one of the outlets to the exhaust and the other to a large pisser.

Sometimes you get a lot for your $0.25.

Yamaha hulls are garbage as well..

Kawasaki may not always make junk, but when they do, it always get shipped to the customer!

Seems like all the A/M hull makers failed the "float" test. I know a kid who wants to remove the hood foam from his old X2. I guess some people have to learn the hard way.

Boeing does the same thing with their manufacturing help, I think all big corps do. Is the labor cheap because its dumb? Or is it dumb because the companies don't pay much?

Probably Federal Express. The USPS got into bed with them a while ago. I worked for one of the independent airlines that flew mail before Fed X got everything.

The pump load is also important. It needs to be getting to the pipe very quickly before any serious carb tuning can be accomplished. With skis never follow pre determined carb settings. Always start too rich and lean from there, these engines are too easy to burn up.

I like to use 10-32 countersunk screws when joining the deck. Drill holes same size as the screw and nothing can get out of alignment. Once it’s perfect you can take it apart for final prep and bond. No clamps needed.

Not much different but a little load can seem like a lot on smaller high port engines.

Right now the USPS is running additional remote sorting centers. Their tracking service can’t follow items as closely.

The first one usually hogs a lot of time. It gets a lot easier after that. At one point there may have been an X2 flipping craze if someone standardized the mod. Hulls are getting more difficult to find now.

The X2 fundamental problems are it’s length is too long and center of gravity is too far forward. The engine compartment is very compact already. If you are handy, cut a foot off the rear and install a bigger pump.
