still have the waterbox? if so picture?

Good luck with the program. I graduated from there in '95 as an MET.

Nice build, it's what I've wanted to do for afew years now, but never had the shop space or time to do so. Good school. What program are you in?

That connector shown in the first picture is an Amp/Tyco 150 series used in automotive under the hood or in mobile equipment application where it will get wet, not rated to be under water. The grey connector Seadoo uses is a Deutsch DT series connector that is in my experience a much better...

We use those type of connectors at work all the time, they do a good job keeping the water out in 'splash' conditions, water will get in if subjected to submerged or high pressure wash application over time. You would need a special crimper to attach it to the wire properly, you can get it to...

Wow never thought I'd find someone else on the site with a hip replacement as well. My recovery of the joint is going well, no more pain. My issue is that I waited 20 years to have the procedure, and was previously living with an essentially locked up hip joint. So now I have to deal with...

Dislocation is always a possibility going forward, but the stronger you keep the muscles in your hip, the less likely it will dislocate I'm told.

I'm 39, It sucks having to get a hip replacement at this age. The doc said I could get back on the ski mid summer but I'd have to take it easy. I don't think he knows what I meant when I said I ride standups, he was probably thinking couches when I asked about the possibility of riding. I...

Just had a total hip replacement done in January and I'm wondering if anyone else on the site has gone back to riding after a procedure like this. I thought this was going to get me back to normal after the surgery but recovery has been much slower than I'd hoped for. Really bummed out about...

So the 61x/61x with the 46mm carb would have more bottom end than a 62t/61x with dual 38mm carbs?

Factory pipe ground down wrench.

So this all started when my stock motor got leaky seals and I wanted more power in my 701 square. So I ended up collecting enough parts to build up 2 motors a 61x platform with a Wetjet intake and 46mm Wetjet carb and a 62t platform with stock 38mm carbs. Which will have more bottom end when...

Installed Dual 38s with stock flame arrestor and it hit the hose and fitting on the hood. I'll have to cut off the fitting and block it at a minimum, dont' really want water running down the flame arrestor and getting sucked into the intake. I just don't know how much I'm going to have to cut...

Alright so I am in the process of putting a dual carb 62t motor in my square nose and I need to modifiy the hood to clear the carbs. Does anyone have pictures of what has worked for them. I'm thinking of copying what my FX1 hood looks like since it keeps water out well but I figure i'd ask...

I imagine there will be alot of those at the bottom of lakes due to the rider getting tired and it sinks.

Interesting how? Hard to get started going? Throw you off like they have a mind of their own? Please explain

Anyone ever ride a Wetbike? What did you think of it. I don't know why but I want to ride one and I see what they were like. I've been on a bunch of standups and couches and wanna try a Wetbike out.

I prefer my SN Superjet to my buddies brand new 2011 Superjet. His carves much better than mine but that 2011 hull seems to prefer to be ridden much faster like a buoy racing machine and not a freestyle machine. I've only been on it twice so I haven't gotten really used to it.

that doesn't sound too far out of line. It all depends on how much throttle you are using during the ride.

I agree on this as well. I started on a 84 550 and it was a POS and I spent a bunch of $$$ to keep it going, starters, crank, seals, then I sold it. I bought a SN and haven't looked back. I also owned a 91 550sx at one time and it was way faster than the 84 and way more reliable, I ended up...
