    Other Fuel line questions

    I've started to use Helix High Pressure Fuel Line. It's higher quality than the standard poly fuel line and takes much longer to harden. The only other clear fuel line I'll run is Tygon.

    This one time, at ski camp.... Crazy stories, tell one!

    I was ripping the Wisconsin River in my duck boat where it's extremely shallow, so I was following the shoreline very close to make it up river. As I came around a big arching bend, where I have to turn slightly to keep the prop from hitting the sand bottom, a couple was banging spread eagle on...

    Ebay 10% off everything

    Thanks for posting this, I used it to get 10% off a roll of Hydro-Turf for my Duck Boat. Saved $8. How were you notified of this? The next sale, I would like to FULL advantage of this. Checking the interwebs, they say eBay does it to meet "Sales Goals". Bird

    Boat wakes 2.0

    Great video. Keep riding! I won't be making it to Daytona this year, have fun! I just put a Wet Pipe on my SXR, made Lake Michigan a lot more fun this year, even with the smaller waves! Most of the boats have gone in for the season, wish I had some nice curls to try barrel rolls. Guess I'll...

    What year XFS is this?

    ^this, sounds plausible. The Graphics just look weird! I know of others who have made Fickters, they just didn't sell them.

    What year XFS is this?

    That's a knockoff hull. Weren't the clones coming out of Michigan/New York Area? QC is right across the border

    2 Stroke Powerband

    Asking the obvious question. Have you played with the Factory Wet Pipe Head Pipe Screws? (which are a joke, 3/8" nut with a 2.5mm allen?!@!@) I just installed a Wet pipe on my SXR, and the light switch effect was from not enough water in my scenario. If this engine is ported like it is, the...

    Best free anti-virus software?

    I always found condoms work the best.... ^Same, Anti-Virus software is superfluous . Keep all your real documents on a second hard drive. Use a Virtual Machine to download scary stuff like Torrents. If something happens, you can install windows 10 in less than 12 minutes these days.

    Beach Cart Hook on the cheap

    I thought about that, but I didn't want to open the hook up more to make the bend. You could also use a smaller diameter eye loop, and then use the hose on the threads?

    Beach Cart Hook on the cheap

    My Jet-Lift strap tore hauling fat sit downs up a hill this past summer, so I needed a replacement! 1. Get a 3/8"x 8" or longer Stainless Steel Eye loop from your local hardware store. 2. Remove the Nut, and bend it into a hook by doing small bends every 1/4" until it looks like below. A...

    Riding surf in Lake Superior MN coast

    That looks horrible! You don't want random waves like that, you want lines and separation. The only way to get lines on the Great Lakes is to ride near breaks and reefs. The entire north shore of Lake Superior is NOT ideal for this. The north shore is a steep drop off and rocky. The south...

    WPS Battery woes

    I have 15 year old crappy Li-Po R/C batteries that still work. Bubbled up a bit, but still hold a charge for the duration they should. I ride my SXR daily, and put a lot of hours on it each year. I'm blaming user error if your WPS battery go kaput after the first month.
