    300/440/550 550sx Hull Modernization Build

    I may have missed it, but seems like you would have put in a larger pump while doing all this work.

    X-metal steering

    Why would bushings make it get loose? It is the nut that holds the plate on that makes it loose. Cold-Fusion also sells a slick locking nut so it will never loosen on you. I've been running a CF riserbar set up for over 2 years and it never loosened on me with the locking nut.

    Surfriding The ultimate all around surf hull......and why...

    How much was that nose piece? And how did it hold up? And it only bolts onto the bond rail, or also through the nose? I want one for my Rickter.

    Surfriding The ultimate all around surf hull......and why...

    That is one thing I miss about the SJ. Once you got used to it, it was nice to brace your leg against the gunwhale top. I should add some turf to the top of mine to make it higher.

    Other How do you get your Rickter gas tank to not rotate?

    I'm running a b-pipe and a stock gas tank. How are you guys preventing it from rotating while you ride. I have tried turfing the floor under the tank, but that didn't help. Wedging a brick of turf/padding between the side of the tank and the pipe chamber helps, but I don't like pushing the...

    Super Jet RN SJ Parker Airbrush Orange Ski Build

    ahhh. memories. Lots of good rides on that ski. I'm so tempted to send down the Rickter so that the flaking gel coat can finally cease.

    Super Jet Do you all use underpad?

    I ran the 1" plush Hydro-Turf underpadding on my SJ. After 4 seasons there were not any indentations to be found, and I rode in foot straps with my feet in the exact same position during every single ride.

    Surfriding Another one bites the dust... stupid impeller housing

    Got three years out of my latest OEM impeller housing/wear ring. Going with a stainless Solas one this time. That is all. Carry on.

    Super Jet HELP - stripped pole mounting bolts

    I had the exact same thing happen on my WDK bracket. It was that aluminum plate on the inside that caused so much of the corrosion. Yes it is normal to have stainless bolts going into aluminum. You should have used anti-seize rather than red loctite. Cut heads of the bolts off from the...

    Other Shipping a Motor

    Double box it. Motor goes in smaller box, then place that box in a slightly larger box. Each box gets packing peanuts. I loved it when DHL did domestic shipping, they were always cheapest. Since then, I've only done UPS.

    Surfriding Best way to heat up my engine... can't find what I'm looking for on McMaster

    Ummm... you also have a 145 mag... haha Drivetrain felt fine when it was in the SJ, but I think maybe the larger pump shoe/intake track in the FR2 is loading it up more? I also want to switch to a less aggressive scoop grate (more for sliding/slashing) but that may help also. But one thing at...

    Surfriding Best way to heat up my engine... can't find what I'm looking for on McMaster

    I honestly don't think it is. The carb is dialed in very well (we spent some time a few weekends ago doing that when the surf was tiny). It feels like there is just too much water for the prop to initially spin up, but once it breaks free after like 1/2 second its fine and feels great...

    Surfriding Best way to heat up my engine... can't find what I'm looking for on McMaster

    Yup. makes sense. What I was originally trying to achieve was the same amount of water my engine had flowing through it when it was in the SJ hull, which was 3/8".

    Surfriding Best way to heat up my engine... can't find what I'm looking for on McMaster

    No I am not. I have 3/8" coming off the head... I just figured I needed to lessen the water going into the engine. I just got off the phone with Art. He said he is re designing those quick disconnect restrictors. Said they will be available at the end of the month. Also talked to him about...

    Surfriding Best way to heat up my engine... can't find what I'm looking for on McMaster

    So my engine runs way too cool. I ride 95% in the California surf. Water coming out of the bypass fittings is only warm... maybe 70-80 degrees. I have 1/2" ID cooling coming from the pump, 1/2" ID through the bulkhead, and 1/2" ID on my manifold. Running dual cooling. I want to restrict...
