    Newbie JS440 Build up.. Started but need expert advice as to what direction!

    no. the driveshaft for a 550 pump is different from the 440's. You have to have the 550 drive shaft with a 550 pump and impellar. if you have all that swap them into your ski and try it. You might like it and then it will save you money and time finding parts and dealing with the bearing...

    Newbie JS440 Build up.. Started but need expert advice as to what direction!

    440 pumps are better for top end but they take a couple seconds to load up. A 550 pump doesnt need to load up the way its designed so it will get you out faster but you will loose top end. I would say before spending money switch the pumps out and see how you like it. But you have a have a 550...

    Brocks Gulf Tribute Build! **Test Ride\Problems**

    Just curious. Last time i painted i was told not to use any buffing compound or wax for at least 1 month after you paint. The paint is constantly curing and if you apply a wax it will seal the paint from breathing and cause it to cure improperly. 3m makes a buffing compound you can use and a wax...

    I just weighed my hull and i have to say im pretty happy with the weight. 100lbs. That is hull,hood,nose piece. painted, turfed, pump shoe, brap strap, ebox mounts, and all mounting hardware for gas tank / water box installed, and hood seal. On a side note this is not just a flatwater hull. This...

    sun glasses

    This has nothing to do with jetski's but, I figured it was good enough carnage to post up. My dog got my 100$ sunglasses off the counter top this weekend. It looks like she was a little mad at me (german short haired pointer).

    Almost finished the turf tonight with the help of my fiance. The unfinished part will be black with white inside the ffh. I am very happy with how it came out. Im thinking about siliconing the edges of all the turf. Ive done this on 2 of my friends 550's and it seems to help the edges from ever...

    im not gonna say anything about the hoodseal until its water tested. so far though it looks like it will work well. I cut it in the middle in some spots to help it seat better.

    yea use a NEW razor blade after you put the padding down. I always do that for a smooth transition. Also it assures that the turf will be sticking to a surface not floating in air at the edges. I used about 4 razor blades doing that much becuase as soon as the not really sharp it tears the pad...

    Brocks Gulf Tribute Build! **Test Ride\Problems**

    i cleaned it too. I think the reason it did it , is becuase when you shoot the primer i let the first and second coat sit 40 mins like it said to. So that paint eventually sits for 3 hours. And after that inside the gun where you cant see creates buildup. Im not a painter but that is just my...

    Brocks Gulf Tribute Build! **Test Ride\Problems**

    if you used epoxy primer i wouldn't even try using the same gun to shoot base with. i made this mistake also but as soon as it happened i went and bought a new gun and that did the trick. Lowes small gravity feed gun works well and its only 39$.
