oh yeah... :biggrin:

not dissing you at all, just a scary idea for me to stomach

Believe me I have thought and thought about "worse case cenerio"

what would make it fail? Its not gonna rub up against anything , they are 5200 'ed to the footholds , And the tube comes out through the firewall, theres zip ties on the inner T.
I have also thought about installing a valve that would increase or decrease the pressure, or shut it off completely

If or when it does , I would know cause it would stop warming my feet. I could just disconnect the tube , and run it through the normal locaton.

if you have thought of something I didnt, please let me know.

If not, hopefully you will see it in daytona .... keeping my feet warm! :Banane01:

one thing I would do....

I would goop the hell out of the t fitting... just glob a crap load of 5200 on it so the whole thing is sealed w/i the goopiness... werd?.?.. and seal the tubes from the inside and outside of the thru holes...

Werd!!

Thanks for your input!

I hope it works out !

whats better 5200 in placer around tubes or epoxy ?

5200 will remain plyable, yet still be quite strong

i would run 2 tubes a larger one and run a small line through the bigger one for the water feed and attach the t in the eng bay or run them through the bulkhead into tray with hard plastic line to wont kink or squash and cut the padding to fit over the tube and turf over top of that you can make it so it will level and you would never had to worry about your foam getting wet

pisser

Just a thought, why not just use a regular thru hull pisser fitting? That way you don't have to worry about kicking the tube back through the holds or anything like that, it would be real durable.

Another thought, unless you are barefoot, will this pisser really do much warming?

Just my 2 cents

2 part foam gets hotter than hell when its curing. i hope it doesnt melt your tubes
:eek2:

nice work so far!:biggthumpup:

I had simalar set up on my other ski, with the exception the tubes didnot run through the foam. and if you didnt have shoes on , it was hotter than hell.
