Here is some info on what I did http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/14227

I did the same exact thing. You don't need those little rubber pad thingys if you use a limiting rope anyways. I also used a backing plate and re enforced the bracket area on the outside of the ski.

and don't rush putting everything together, thats when you start forgetting to do things correctly.

most epoxy resin's say 1 week for full cure. Don't know how long you want to give it before you ride it though. I only sanded the edges that are easily touchable when all the components are installed (ie hood seal lip area), but for the areas like behind the gas tank and waterbox I just left...

Yes do the nose. While your in there, why not? If you ever nose into the sand on a nose stab or fail re entry attempt, you gonna crush the nose. Also can't see really how much you did on the handlepole bracket area, but did you fill in the voids that come to a point where the outter nose piece...

the two bolts you have there that are closest to the breather tubes, those are kinda extra right? there are only 4 stock, but then you can add those two extra for more support????? :dunno:

meaning the cable from the battery from into the ebox, or from ebox to starter?

We so cal/central coast fools call em "low boy mounts". Wydopen coined the term. Whenever we mess something up he always says "thats an old ski man's trick". So when we mounted my first tubbie down low like yours he said, "eh, that's an old ski man's trick, 'low boy mounts'!" What is your total...

Use PB blaster, better than WD-40

welcome to the X

when are you gonna come ride the surf with us?

PM LBE... I think he does it for people also for less than protec will charge you.

you just need to send the CDI unit out, not the whole ebox. Lots of places do it, and there is a do it yourself thread here on the board. RIVA and Protec are two places that do it that I can think off the top of my head. Even check out ebay for units that have already had it done.

my friend installed one, and he likes it, but was a process to install correctly, and even then, it still rubs on his type 9 dry pipe. i doesn't really lighten the hood that much. you can pretty much do the same thing the carbon liner does but just blocking off the holes in the front of the hood

sweet... i thought it would work, but didn't want to relay false information.

My ratchet setup is very similar to cuong's... http://www.x-h2o.com/showpost.php?p=279313&postcount=27

Just got done re enforcing the other side today. Just need to put a coat or two of aluzine to make it shine, then finish up on the hood seal lip area.

it over lapped what I had already filled a couple weeks ago, but didn't complete recover that previous work. Plenty strong enough, there was no need to wrap it all the way over.

got one side re enforced. next side tomorrow. almost done with the interior. 1 layer 1708 w/ mat on the back, 1 layer of 5.5 oz carbon

140lbs sounds pretty normal especially if you used any compression gauge than a Snap On. Which brand guage did you use?
