    550SX Half Pipe Cooling Line Routing

    Yes, I understand. But if the gasket is blocked and not the correct one, water will not flow out of the fitting down to the stinger on the chamber. So, theoretically I could start the ski in the water and remove the hose from the chamber fitting and verify water flow. Or remove 6 bolts and just...

    550SX Half Pipe Cooling Line Routing

    Instead of removing the elbow again to verify I have the correct gasket, could I remove the line going to the stinger and verify it has water coming through?

    550SX Half Pipe Cooling Line Routing

    Oh, yeah I see what you are talking about. It looks like in the parts fiche it shows a gasket with no holes for the water jacket. I would use John's gasket set or something similar to be sure its set up correctly. But with that being said, it appears on the parts fiche that the coupler gasket...

    550SX Half Pipe Cooling Line Routing

    That is correct. If you can see the pictures in the above post, my gasket does indeed have the cut out for the passage. This would be the style of gasket to run with a half pipe coupler.

    Absolutely, its easy to be enthusiastic when you truly believe in a product. Being a master jet ski wizard takes DECADES! I just need to get myself around more riders and keep thinking creatively! I really appreciate all of the response. This is all very helpful and a great place for sharing...

    How To Become More Involved

    Well, Im currently 32. Not married. No kids. Really don't want to move because I own my home and its very unique (although I wish It were closer to the water). I could totally travel though! I think my location is a great one, but not necessarily for watercraft. I live in the mountains but...

    How To Become More Involved

    haha, you’re totally right! That’s why I’m curious if there are any ideas aside from the obvious stuff. I’m not necessarily looking for a job but I just really like being a part of the jet ski community and want to figure out ways to contribute something to the sport because it has really...

    How To Become More Involved

    I have been thinking on this for a while now and wanted to reach out for some advice. Over the past 3 years I have become completely immersed into the PWC community. In some weird way, it really feels like I found a new home and a family that was there all along. Jet skis changed my life and I...

    2017 Superjet bilge pump

    Maybe I did something weird haha I usually notice one pumping and not the other, if I hit the switch off and then on, they both start pumping. I have also beached my ski with the bilges running, switched them off and then on again, and then they are pumping water :rolleyes: They work fine, just...

    2017 Superjet bilge pump

    Just out of curiosity, are you running the 500? I swear if you leave my bilges running, they wont suck any water... You have to turn them on AFTER the water is in the hull or they will just spin and nothing comes out. Has anyone had bilge cavitation issues? Its really annoying to keep switching...

    2017 Superjet bilge pump

    OCD tidy bilge harness is ideal, but you can wire it up without one. I run dual bilge because I am also running dual cooling. If possible, I would recommend keeping the stock siphon bilge also even if you have to relocate it.

    How often do you check your hardware?

    After I rebuilt the 440, it had been ridden twice when my brother noticed the washers on each end of the cylinder head spinning. I was like, wtf are you talking about? Popped the hood and sure enough, the head bolts had all loosened up. I had totally forgotten to re-torque the head bolts after...
