im with kennay. itll buff right out.

the only cutting i did was to the engine cowling. i used an angle grinder with a sanding disk. everything will fit, even without cutting, but the rubber "pig noses" get squeezed by the opening. i didnt have to cut down the f/a at all. just bolted it right on. it doesnt hit the hatch at all.

....and theyre only like $5 at harbor freight. i just peck at where the threads meet the shaft and booger it all up w/ the punch about 10 times. theyre really easy to work with in that confined area too.

uh, yeah. duh! i didnt even realize that was an option! good call!

slicker, glad you guys are okay and only cosmetic damage happened to your ride. i will agree that scuppers are "not so much" for the surf. while i have an xmetal scupper on my SJ (and the new rubber is da shizzy) thats great for flatwater, i still block the 2" pipe, at the bulkhead, with a...

have you tried putting the ada studs in upside-down? works great for my taller-than-ada speedworx head!

look for 2 650 superjets for $1000 each, then. or let the other person in your family buy their own ski. let them get the crappy kawi and wish they had your SJ. kawi 650s and 750s blow azz. yeah, you might have fun on them for a while, but ultimately, youll find that you shouldve listened to...

i have a b1 TDR box in mine. its built very well and isnt very loud at all. however, i have a waterbox from a raider that i want to put under the battery area to quiet it down more, shift the weight of the box to the back, and clear up under the hood a bit.

its not that time consuming. i can typically get a ski on the water within 20 minutes after sinking. here its been 2 days and a lotta talking. can you say rusty bearings?

a spring-loaded centerpunch is what i use the 'damage' the threads.

RlDE lT!

theyre definitely angled. also, dont tighten/loctite the butterfly untill all the other linkage is in place.

i kept the stock 750 f/a and did a little cutting..... these damn keihins are tempermental when it comes to popoff/restriction changes.

why use anything other than the readily available, industry standard - 1211?

gotcha. hmmm, well.... pay for my airfare, beer, food, beer, lodging, beer, and beer and we can discuss compensation. :fing02: hehe seriously, if you still have the old stator, why not just bolt it back up to the new motor and existing box? btw, i have two mates. one came w/ a blown 650. i...

i could help you through it if you posted some pics. delivery to south FL would be kind of expensive.

try "gridle", "gertel", "grittle", etc.... ..... yes, there are some doozies!

was your old engine the original? is your new engine a 650? 750? what kind of standup did it come from? why not use the elctrics from that standup? if you could post pics of what you have and provide additional details, im sure we could walk you through it. most of the stuff from kawi's...

im putting on of those automatic rule pumps on that comes on momentarily every 2.5 minutes. battery drain wont be a concern since i always have them on battery tenders. i had a float switch in there but it a took a dump after getting submerged in fuel. oops.

my wifes boat is set up like this. i took a umi turnplate, cut it, and drilled it to accept straight 7/8" aluminum stock. works killer!
