Anyone know what the . . nevermind

Found it in my bilge as I was cleaning. It is hard rubber.
My first though was the dampener, but it is only 5/8 inches wide so too narrow (whew!)
Any ideas where this may have come from? It was found in the bottom of a 1990 SN SJ 650/protec pipe. The lord mounts and motor mounts look fine.
Thanks!!! :biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Sonofabitch. Looks like an OEM aircleaner with a freakin' Pro-Tec sticker on it. :bigeyes:

 

[tor*p*do]

how perceptive.:haha:
I mean the rubber piece on the air cleaner!

Just messing. Have you checked your coupler cover for missing pieces?

 

[WDKfan]

Do squares haev the same kind of thing to hold the steering cable like 550's b/c it looks like it was made to hold something round.

 

[onesojourner]

check the coupler.

 

[tor*p*do]

coupler was fine all around, plus it is wider (like an inch thick)

Got it!
It is a piece of a plug wire holder like the one at the bottom of the third picture. the one on the ski is fine, but was probably replaced in the last 17 years. whew, nothing critical!
I hate finding extra parts at the bottom of the bilge

Throw a scupper in there, then you will no longer have to ponder about such things accumulating in the bilge!

 

[restosud]

man,i've been looking for that part!

I have a theory that scuppers sink boats.
Turn a boat over and like a bowl it holds in air and out water.
Turn a scuppered hull over and the scupper works as an air vent and down she goes. :bigeyes:
I am holding off on the scupper . . . .



Crazy engineers, we think too much . . . :biggthumpup:

Scuppers don't sink boats riders sink boats. I love my scupper :biggrin:

My flame arrestor came loose on Tuesdays ride I noticed this when I pulled the hood at home and there was not one bolt left in my engine bay. Scupper spits them all out. Yea:banghead:

when I sell a boat, I toss random pieces of electronics down in the bilge, just to drive the new owner batty.

Looks to me like a piece off the cable/fuel line holders on the factory exhaust tube that runs down the carburetor side of the boat.

IM going to toss a small block Chevy piston rod in the bottom of the next one.

bwwhahahaha

LOL:haha::haha:

I have not needed a scupper yet and dont think I will put one in the Rev either, If your boat doesn't take on a 2" hole worth of water then why do you need it and why add another opertunity to let in water:dunno: I very well could be wrong, but so far I have not ever said "dang I need a 2" hole to release water from my bilge area". A wise man once told me that a scupper is a sit and sink valve. :biggthumpup: Stock bilge and 2 rule 380's seem to be working fine with a good hood and seal. :biggthumpup:

 

[Matt_E]

Which is why I am not putting one into the Square I am building.

 

[bit]

My first though was the dampener

You thought that piece wet the ski? Or you meant damper?







had to give you hard time:biggthumpup:

the only prob with scupper is if you let your ski floating for several minutes
buy a couch if you wanna sit on the water :biggrin:

j/k brian ...but i think you will like to have one next time you loose your hood

Actually the scupper would have done more damage than good in that ordeal as the scupper would only let water flow out when moving but being that the boat was sunk it would not have done anything but probably let more in right?
Ask Sweeny about a scupper while broke down floating in the river, LOL, if your boat wont start and its sinking too it makes the day that much longer IMO.
