Charlies wdk rok build

[gto0209]

Picked this hull up from Chad locally, I have had a rn for years, and wanted something smaller and easier to throw around. Powering it with a limited 701 with a b pipe and a solas 144 mag, and blowsion trim. Going to be using a cast rrp pole with ada steering and 50mm riser bars. I am putting it together in my basement at college.

Cool ski, Charlie. Subbd!

Cool, like the blue. Plenty of Rok owners here should you have questions...

Mocked it up so I could shorten up all the wires because the ebox is so much closer to the motor on this hull. I also added a weatherpack connector to the stator so I dont have to pull the ebox with the motor which always annoyed me on yamis.

worked on the trim set up today too, The riva lever wasn't meant for the easy pull system, so the cable was slightly too long. I put a slight bend in the bracket to put the cable farther back, and it seemed to fix the issue I now have full throw again.

Congrats on the new setup!

Not much progress lately, going home to pick up my rrp pole and steering from Zigler, and motor and mag pump from Vince this weekend, so then I can really get moving on this. repainted the black part of the bottom, and installed my pump shoe. Going to repaint the blue areas on the bottom too.

What motor did you buy from vince

 

[gto0209]

The limited 701 out of Evans footrocket. I rode it last year and it ran nice.

Does it have foam ???

 

[rhugo21]

How easy was that weather pack connector and where did you get it?

 

[gto0209]

No foam in my boat, I plan to stuff pool noodles in once I have everything put together. It has an enormous one way valve, a versiplug, and I'm running a 750gph bilge so I should be able to keep it afloat.

They are difficult if you don't have the proper crimper tool, I got mine from mac tools, it was around 50 dollars I think. I get the plugs off eBay.

Bring the tool and some connectors this weekend. I need to redo Evans electrical. The guy that built his footrocket was incompetent to say the least...

Happy to see this ski finally getting built! It will be an awesome summer in Wisconsin this year with all these aftermarket skis around

Have this thing pretty close, did a final mock up, have to pull the pump once more to install my steering nozzle once it comes back from blowsion then I can put it together for good.
