nah, I think I'm gonna have bill build me a carbon top deck for it. that should lighten it up a tad.:biggrin:

You must have not ever ridden anything with a truly modded big bore stroker engine in it yet,take my advice ,don't do it,my worst mistake ever was riding Crammits ski at the SFF.

you're kidding, right?
it's not the power of the ski, it's the weight of the thing. yeah, the power to weight ratio is fine, it's throwing the thing around that sucks because it's a heavy boat.
yeah, if you're not ready for power, it will kick your 4ss.

no, but if that one is small enough, or they have one that is, it would be perfect for the application.

I remember when he was having that engine built. he said the only way he could describe the way they perform was "violent". I was like uh huh...lol

what do you think about the smaller one I posted? it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to put a system together if you could find the right parts.

Fluid flow detector
United States Patent 6940409
A method and apparatus for monitoring fluid flow in a pipe or at an exit of the pipe and detecting a fault. The system includes an acoustic generator which is activated by the fluid flowing in the pipe or at the exit of the pipe. The acoustic generator sends an acoustic signal, which may have a distinctive signature, through the fluid flowing in the pipe. The acoustic signal is received by a remote upstream acoustic receiver and is translated into an electric signal supplied to a signal processor.
I think something along the lines of an infrared sensor would be just fine. like a motion detector to activate the solenoid in closing the breather temporarily. it would have to be on a set timed switch that would go ahead and release the trapped water that's activated it to close, then re open until another gush of water sets it off again.

Just my opinion, but none of what you posted will hold up in a jetski environment.
Those get built to differing environment standards.
A jetski environment is full of severe mechanical shock, vibration, corrosion, etc.

how about a solenoid valve with an infrared sensor to trip it? it wouldn't withstand any more environmental vibrations than the CPU of a digital ignition system.

I think I'll experiment around with a 550 hood and see what I can come up with. if it works well I will install one on the sj. I need to find a 12v. Ir sensor, and 12v. solenoid valve that will allow enough airflow, open. I'll just run a split connector in-line between the battery to the hood.

IR optics + vibration + salt water = trouble.

well, i'm sure we can figure out something that will be suitable as an activation switch for the proposed environment...lol.
what do you think?
dibs.
