I ordered an OEM Yamaha Impeller Housing part # 6R7-51312-03 and it arrived damaged. Partzilla exchanged it for no cost but the second part arrived looking worse than the first one. So same story, they send me another impeller housing. This one is the worst of all, the pets were all damaged in...

So, I’m finishing up my tray and I was having trouble getting my 1708 to wrap around a 90 degree corner. I called up US Composites expecting to buy some thinner mat to make the corner but the guy I spoke with asked me my procedure for laying the glass. I explained to him in short, that I wet the...

So my brother and I have had this ski for a pretty long while now and it started acting up about 6 months ago. The problem is that when you push the start button you get 1 click from the relay and the ski does not turn over. I diagnosed the problem as best i could and checked the main switch for...

With the assumption that my turd square nose had water in the tray, and poorly placed footholds from the previous owner, I decided to go ahead and dig in. I am personally a big fan of the shape and styling of the square nose superjet. I really enjoy the way it moves and I am not interested in...

Picked this up on eBay months ago and didn’t realize it was for 96+ superjet. The picture was poor and it didn’t specify. Anyways I don’t need it. I paid $165 shipped. Make a reasonable offer, I know you can get new aluminum brackets but I don’t need this one.

I’m looking for an aftermarket or billet aluminum handle pole bracket for a 1995 superjet. I haven’t seen any on eBay and of really like one for my build!

So it took me a while to find this stuff and a lot of phone calls. You would think google would bring up exactly what you are looking for, but we all know it’s not always that simple. I thought I would share some information due to the fact the only info I could find was 6+ years old and most of...

Just wanted to get some feedback, I’m on the middle of reinforcing my hull, refoaming, etc. and I’m trying to decide if I want to use a bilge paint for the inside of the hull... on one hand it looks nice but I’m afraid it would eventually flake off and not look so nice. What has been your...

Specifically my mid pipe, it’s scabby and looks gross. Somehow I managed to remove all 3 stuck screws with patience and multiple heat cycles/penetrating oil. Heated and cooled and hit with penetrating oil a few times and finally each one let go. So lucky! Anyways the mid pipe looks poor and I’m...

Im about to do a build and I'm trying to upgrade a few parts to make life easier in the future. #1 I can't find an aftermarket billet SN handlepole mount. Should I upgrade to a different style while Im doing the rest of the glass work? Obviously I would need a new handlepole too :rolleyes: #2 I...

Where are people getting their Skat-Trak pumps from? I’ve emailed Skat-Trak twice and haven’t gotten a response. Should I try to call and get one directly from them or try to get it from impros or somewhere else? I’m trying to get the 144 set back pump for my 95’ Superjet.

I've been trying to understand the differences between the Aramid and Fiberglass/ 1708 1208, glass balloons, cabosil and from all the stuff I am reading it doesn't really explain what all that means. From what I have gathered, 1708 and 1208 are thicknesses of material, what kind I'm not sure...

Not asking which is better, Im just trying to understand the difference in cost and quality between the two. Im interested in the 144mm pumps and from what I understand, The Solas unit is fully stainless steel and weighs around 8 pounds. I have read some comment that it is important to use...

My handle pole was recently dented badly from another rider running into my ski. I was practicing nose stabs and a friend of mine came up on me quickly and ran strait into my handle pole. Luckily I didn’t get hit or it could be much worse. It was really neither of our fault so at least we are...

Do you "need" a certain amount of power to really benefit from a 148 pump? Im interested in upgrading my jet pump but im not trying to build a crazy powerful engine. What would make you choose a 144 pump over 148 pump?

Ive been doing some work to a 1990 Kawasaki JS440 and I’ve been running into some trouble and wanted to reach out for some suggestions. I’m really excited about this ski and even more excited to share it with the kids and ladies. So I’ve done a bit of research and some diagnosing, but it seems...

So after riding a couple weeks ago, we went to brap the water out of the 750 and when it started we heard an AWEFUL squalling metal on metal sound. I pulled the pump last night and this is what I found. The nose cone on the impeller seems to have dislodged itself from the impeller. I’ve been...

My brother ended up with a super mint 1 owner 1990 JS440, it has a really nice KERKER pipe on it and a standard cooling set up with stock pisser and no FCV. The cooking lines are 3/8 but the pisser line is 1/4. Is there any reason I would not want to run a 3/8 pisser line and FCV? I have extras...

My brother recently picked up a MINT 1990 JS440 and Im looking for a service manual. Im having trouble finding one for the 440, especially an OEM copy. Im willing to pay for it but can anyone help me find a service manual? I know I can get a Clymer off eBay but I'm really looking for OEM...

Im interested in a 550 project and been reading about them. Can anyone give some information on the changes in hull and engine design over the years? I understand there are differences between the JS550 and the 550SX, also PP and reed engines. Just looking for some correct info! Thanks! :)
