You need to be sure that there is not too much pump load to begin with. This is a big problem with small engines because the hesitation will never go away. Big engines can pull almost anything. Carb tuning is the most important because you can burn a piston if its not right. Any change made...

A Superjet is OK with its stock 8mm cooling line. Old Kawasakis with 7mm lines and fittings will get hot enough to scald. Most electric bilge pump failures come from debris (zip-tie tail) stopping the pump. Siphons are good to keep if possible.

A mag stator doesn't add speed or thrust. It keeps producing where a stock pump struggles. Mags really shine in rough water and prime fast when they hit the water. A surf rider would benefit more from a pump. A river runner would want the pipe.

Your large hub impeller is worth about 40% of the total gain. Which is more important, a little more power or a little faster pump hookup?

It must be privatized so some CEO can get you working hard and pocket all those perks that he stole from you.

Not wanting to sound too negative BUT, citizens of the USA, are nothing but livestock to wealthy farmers. You have been told you must work harder and longer because it ultimately benefits them.

That number is meaningless unless every locale cost the same. You can be a "poor" millionaire.

And then there is a point when you can buy anything that you have ever wanted, and realize that you dont care about any of it anymore.

Hmmmm

That can be fine for a flip but Im thinking thats a little hot for WOT runs. Unless there is a restriction upstream the venturi.

A lot of people use Tygon but it is generally not suitable for vacuum. It may attenuate pump pressure, but so will an excessively long line. I prefer something with thicker walls.

A plugged return line will effectively make the popoff lower whenever the engine is running. It will also force any air to be cleared through the jets causing excesive hesitation and lean runs. The only way gas can get into the engine is through a leaking regulator needle.

It pays to choose your parents well!

Use one of their ester based products, R50 and skicraft appear to be the most widely available. Castor tends to not mix well and is generally nasty. PAG oil will cause rust.

Well, generally it does because OEM boats are cheap. Plus having an A/M hull is a requirement for viewing this site.

At some point it will become affordable, when nobody cares about it.

The sport has gone to the top wage earners. The main reason is lack of financing, gone are the days when a 21yo could go to a dealer and leave with a new ski for $120/mo. Now it is very expensive and the "elite" status of participation is a major driver of enthusiasm for the sport. Once there...

You have to do the maintenance that its last four owners never did. They dont have enough power without all the mods.

Blowsion? That is some awfully expensive customer service!
