    Plastic impeller housing clearance

    I'm putting together a pump for a 95 superjet that has a plastic sleeve in the impeller housing. It doesn't really have enough clearance and turns only with effort. I was thinking of just putting it in and running it. The impeller will eventually scrape the plastic out right? I know it...

    Gelcoat problem

    I just sanded and put a layer of west marine finish gelcoat on the bottom of my hull. It seemed to work well and looks good except: it will not dry/cure on the area where I did a hull repair with uscomposites epoxy/cabosil. Is it a epoxy/polyester thing? Can I wipe the area off and...

    pressing a midshaft

    After a long three month ordeal, I finally got my OEM midshaft and housing from Jojo Manise. My main problem with the deal is that he was supposed to send the entire unit pressed and ready to go, but did not. I'm not sending it back because I don't have another three months to wait to get it...

    Which is better to seal off the tubes(steering, cooling, trim, one-way, scupper) that go through the tray? Assuming you have cut out your whole tray to defoam. The options are epoxy and cabosil, 5200, or "something else". If you vote for something else, please post what it is you use.

    Jetinetics flywheel + MSD Enhancer?

    I'm going to try to set up a Jetinetics flywheel and MSD Enhancer. I've never messed with the timing on a ski before. I've searched through some old threads that say you should advance the timing. Has anyone tried this setup? I think Idok and Freestyleriverrat did and I'm waiting on a PM...

    A simple porting question (for once)

    I've got two 701 motors I'm tearing down to check out and put RIVA heads on. I was looking at the exhaust outlets and noticing how they are imperfect and don't match up with the sleeves exactly right. If I use my dremel to clean this up, what are my chances of screwing the porting up? I've...

    Vinyl wrap photos and opinions on durability

    I'm seriously considering getting my ski completely wrapped in vinyl instead of painting it. It seems that most people believe that spending the money to paint a ski isn't really worth it because it won't last long before looking like crap. I'm just not willing to rattle can it. Too much...

    Anybody 6'2 with a -4 pole?

    PLEASE post some pics of your footholds so I can figure out how where I want to put them. Some say forward, some say back. REV's are going in, exhaust pipe is lowered, now I've got to decide where I want them. Steering is stock with 0 degree UMI bars. Where are yours and why?

    Who knows about RIVA superjet couplers?

    I got a RIVA five finger coupler for a superjet from that other site, but I need a dampener. Will any kawasaki five finger dampener work, or do I need the special one from RIVA?
