how to stop water deflection from back rails

[2006superjet]

i was wondering if there is any way to make it so the ski isnt kicking up water on my back legs when i ride. no im not talking about the safety squirt.
show me you setups

AHHHG!!! That drives me nuts too!!!

Seal that leading edge with black 5200. I have not done it yet but that is what I was thinking.

i had the same problem but i believe my problem was from the turf and foam holding the corners up too much. i siliconed on the tops and bottoms of mine on the inside and that stopped it from hitting the backs of my legs.

Take off the trim cap and apply a line of silicone on top of the rail then reinstall cap.

If this is really bugging you, perhaps you should take up riding a sitdown instead lol

Cut the rail.

Or perhaps a modified Honda Splashguard would work??

WTF are you Nancy's talking about. I fall every 2 mins on my ski. Forget water hitting your legs...

That lip at the rear is just more drag in the water and it interferes with trim system operation too.

Remove it all the way across the back.

ive

been thinking of maybe doing turfed rails anyone got some pics

 

[Matt_E]

Look in any buildup thread.
Most have turfed rails.

 

[yamaslut]

amputate your back legs... That will solve everything...

this is a joke right???? please tell me it is...

think

i may have found the issue. the plastic side cover on one side it a lil more protruded than the other due to the turf. seems like i just have to cut a lil turf out the make it seat flush.

For those of you not familiar with 40 degree water shooting on to the back of your legs for 3 hours straight come on up and try it out.

It gets annoying.

 

[Matt_E]

I seriously doubt that you're riding in 40 degree water without either a thick wetsuit or a drysuit.

That water shooting on your leg shouldn't bother you in that case.

 

[yamaslut]

don't try to act all serious and ********... we are not falling for it
