    RICKTER talk

    When I put one in my FR-2 I cut a square out of the turf and underpad. Then cut just the turf layer back a bit so it would overlap nicer than just putting a square back in. Glassed in a stainless piece I had inserts welded to. If it were a superjet I would have just drilled stainless screws...

    Turf underpad options

    Don't use that stuff it won't work! Trust me, It will stay compressed. The black hydro turf underpad won't compress on you. It rebounds!! That's what you need!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My 2016 Rickter Edge Build thread

    Got the pole and steering/cables setup this evening. Few little tricks in there. Sheathed the cables with vinyl tubing so they don't rub out. Sealed the ends so they don't fill up with h2o. Finished turfing the rear tank and got it where I want it. Gonna wait to trim the thick tank pad...

Whether my motor is forward or back and inch isn't going to change much, but I would much rather have the clearance. Sent from my...

    engine rebuild timeframe

    I'm shocked at the generic 2 year answer... A stock 701 yeah, once you start putting a high compression head on there and anything else, you're gonna need to keep an eye on it. 2 stroke is tough, it will keep running great with failing wrist pin bearings. Pistons will start scuffing and you'll...

    Spent a little time turfing the rear tank. Don't want anything getting loose and putting a hole/rubbing in there. Got some fresh 1/2 cooling lines from west marine. Gonna be a tight fit, but it will fit! Still have to shave the thick block to clear the B pipe. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Bought my first RN Superjet in pieces. Advice/info needed!!

    You need a superjet mid shaft. That housing will work but the shaft itself is incorrect length. That looks like it's out of a sitdown. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You also could have used a pex 1/2 T between the 2 - 3/8 90* so it truly splits rather than possibly favoring one side or the other Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    After some setbacks with my driveshaft (pun intended) I made some progress tonight. Aligned my pump for the final time and glued the shoe in. Got the heat on in the garage, calling it a night. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
