I primed it with Rustoleum pro grade bonding primer in the turbo can, when they said turbo they sere not joking. I will let that sit in the sun for at least a few hours before wetsanding it it with 320-400 grit and then hit it with Rustoleum black sandable primer. The bonding primer probably...

I doubt he has time yet , this thread was only started in 2016

I am going to throw another pro tip out to you , when you have a nasty looking pull like this one obviously is , that's not the end of the story , with epoxy you have a long open or working time , if you catch it just right the filler is almost like modeling clay. You can take wax paper or...

Finishing off the other tubbie and blending it into the ski, yes I know I am jumping around again, around here it's called efficient usage of materials , if I have filler mixed up I am going to use it on something.

I had a couple of spots on the hood I am not happy with yet , the epoxy was starting to thicken so it didn't go on that well, no bigge it will take a couple of tries to get it where I want it on this one.

With a quick sand with 80 grit this repair is now complete and ready for high build primer.

Is that a Seadoo tow ring frenched in there, it looks like it belongs there , nice work.

Sanded off and epoxy-microballoons has been applied , you will notice the area where the epoxy filler has been applied has gotten much larger and the microballoons filler goes on much smoother . Here is where I am going to throw a pro tip at you , in between sanding and the application of new...

I sanded it down with 80 grit on the DA and pulled it again , now you may think that you can pull it once and be done but usually it doesn't work that way. I will lightly hit it with the DA to knock down the high spots this go around and the rest will be done by hand. Most likely I will...

Alright we are going to skip around a bit because that's just what I do, a rolling stone gathers no moss. It hit 83 here today so that means paint and body time ! Today I am repairing and repainting a Seadoo GTI hood for the sales ski, it has lots of dock rash but no really major damage , it...

I was going to say Polyester primer might be the only way you get away with that .

I think I already said this but gelcoat does not stick well to SMC , polyester and SMC just do not play well together.

Graphics came i Graphics came in Yesterday , to me this looks much better, a lot less busy . I am picking up another hood tomorrow and I am going to try something new , Duplicolor has a green to purple colorshifting paint for like $18.00 a can, it goes over a black base coat for the greatest...

I had to wait till the temps got back up to continue the body, well at least that's what I am going with. I have hardener and reducer, it's slow hardener and reducer for 80 degrees and above , I am a cheapass and I am not buying medium reducer and hardener , at least not for this job anyway ...

Not an accurate reading on the micrometer then ?

Sorry I didn't look that close , looking closer the cases say 63N 700 just like the 62T , the carbs are 44's so someone has done some parts swapping here and most likely those are 62T cylinders bored to 83mm.

I disagree unless that ADA head has the wrong size domes in it, it should be way more than 150psi , you have the head off what size are the domes ?

Yep just like the sitdown pumps, I once spent a couple of days under a SALTWATER FX140 removing the pump , I tried heat, prybars , penetrating oil and a chain and slide hammer to no avail , in the end I removed the intake grate and cut a piece of heavywall pipe at an steep angle so it fit over...

Pistons look fairly normal to me, yes pull it apart and have the cylinders and pistons measured , at the least it probably needs honing and new rings . All I can tell from those pics is it has 760 pistons in it.
