    I got cabin fever and cut my rails… I probably should have done this when I built my rails up initially, but I don’t think it really matters that much. The rails will be thicker than they would have, but I don’t mind. I thought about this for a long time and decided that the wide rails around...

    Well, I’ve been figuring a few things out and planning. Lots of critical thinking on this build hahah. I’ve gotten all of my lines trimmed and everything set up where I am happy with. I made myself a new steering cable tube and test fit everything. I heated up the PVC with a heat gun and then...

    How deep do skis sink?

    This honestly deserves a dedicated “rebuild thread” if you have time, you should totally make one! Might be a helpful comparison to have for others in the future.

    Loose steering

    You can still get the bushings, Cleaning the steering system completely and installing new bushings with grease makes a big difference. Or like KMN said, you can get a new steering system completely. I would cut you a sweet deal on this one I have for sale...

    Loctite 572, Yamaha service manual also specs this to use on your crankcase bolts, cylinder bolts and also cylinder head bolts. Stuff is awesome but kind of a pain to clean up! https://www.henkel-adhesives.com/us/en/product/thread-sealants/loctite_572.html

    Maybe I will use them… they cleaned up real nice today! I also got the manifold drilled and tapped for dual cooling. I offset the hole 1/4” from the original hole to give a little clearance for the cooling lines. I bought a brand new Q drill bit and for some reason the hole got a little...

    Should I drill a couple holes in the inserts so that the epoxy can get through? Or will the hex hold just fine? On another note, I also trimmed my exhaust tube back a little bit, I was worried it might interfere or be in the way, but this should be good! I also got my cooling lines cut to...

    How deep do skis sink?

    Maybe they want to verify it is indeed your boat and not somebody else? But does an EME even have a HIN? And was it actually registered to you?
