I'd use no more than 1 layer of 1208 biax to keep the weight down. I used 1708 biax but I always over-do everything and build stuff for surf abuse, plus my hull had a big crack under the rail on the exhaust side that I didn't even know was there. That glue can be removed with a sharp chisel...

I think I used some small shims just so I would have the ability to move the shaft downward on the bulkhead by removing the shims if necessary.

Yeah looking great! I reinforced the crap out of mine after using just thickened epoxy and chopped strand to initially set the tunnel. I think I used a little bit of glass on the intake grate area and rear tray area to keep it from dropping down when cured. Defiantly install the pump while...

Great job! Looks awesome, and good thinking measuring the driveshaft length because I didn't do that... just a shot in the dark hahah

Gone but not forgotten!!! I'm proud to say that my first mag pump was purchased from Skat-Trak, 144 set back. Their legacy will live on... I ripped this from an old Jet-Pilot video, hope you all enjoy it.

Nobody even wants to try and lowball me? Come on!

So I cut my tray out at about 2.25” from the dash, maybe a little less and I barely hit into the bulkhead. I would say 2.5” would be perfect and would clear the bulkhead completely. It’s also about 2.5” from the rear of the tray. Make sure you use tape to clearly mark your lines, and drill a...

Sanostandard (sann-oh-standard) adverb 1. A unit of measure amongst the pwc community and jet skiers alike. 2. So as to be free from dirt, marks, or unwanted matter. "the jetski had been washed to sanostandard"

My manual is for FX-1 and Superjet and says different, but do as you wish

Yes, I will measure and let you know later!

I have extensively researched this subject, and just to be clear nowhere in the Superjet service manual is Red loctite recommended with the exception of the handlepole bracket mounting hardware. You must be confusing Loctite 572 with Red, it is not. Loctite 572 is a thread sealant and should be...

cmon, somebody buy this as a Christmas gift for their lady!

Tomski is the man! I can totally relate to wanting to just learn to ride the ski, you will develop your own style and decide what works best for you. I used to run a long pole and stock steering forever. I think OVP is cool but I personally went with a "shorty" steering because I do like a...

I actually didn’t mount it to anything, I could have used just bolts. I used 3/8” all thread at the time. I had set the hull on the ground and used padding to get the hull in the correct position to align the pump tunnel. You will have to blend it all together when you’re finished, don’t worry...

Yes I have one in my Superjet and it is pretty loud. I will be running one in my FX-1, I just measured the outlet on the JM water box and it is 2 3/8” so you can either get a 2.5” through hull exhaust tube or 2 3/8” either will be fine. A 2 3/8” hose will stretch over a 2.5” exhaust tube but it...

So the Jetmaniac lightweight waterbox is for anything, it wouldn't be a specific FX-1 waterbox. The outlet is for a 2.5" or 2 3/8" hose (I cant remember) so it will work fine for you. I will take some pictures of mine later and measure it. In other powersports many parts are model specific...

You might need to get another waterbox because the outlet on the FX-1 waterbox is small too... I really like the Jetmaniac lightweight waterbox. As far as a hose goes, I usually get a 45 degree hose and a 3' straight hose from ebay and just make a coupler. I have an extra piece of tubing I could...
