is it a good idea one night scupper?

[superjet0587]

is it a good idea to try and install a scupper in one night and have to be ready to leave with the ski for a trip the next afternoon.

glue cure? you can do it in one nite no problem..... but i would be worried about strenght of what ever you use to seal it

 

[superjet0587]

well it wont be ridden for 1.5 - 2 days after i install just will be on the trailer

 

[superjet0587]

i was gonna use quik dry 5200 24hr cure, and some epoxy glue not sure what cure time on that is

It will definatelly be a challenge. You have to remove the motor so alot extra time to install and reallign it. It would be pushing it if you did it right.

I agree. would I do it? yes. that's the only way I get things done. last minute.

 

[FL-cracker]

Dont do it

 

[superjet0587]

ya maybe i shouldnt do it before i leave

I wouldnt rush something like that...could make for much more work down the road.

 

[jetskier79]

if it's not required, I wouldn't rush it.

Maybe that's not the right way to put it....I probably would rush it. But it's probably not the best idea.

seriously why not put something off until the last possible minute, maybe later?

 

[tom21]

that is how I studied for all my tests in HS. works great. its still fresh in my head as I shut the book and pick up my pencil.

 

[Idok]

proably better off to do a quick bilge pump install instead...do the one way later

I did mine in about 2 hours after I moved the motor forward to fix a pipe leak.

yea you would do it sat morn AT the beach while we're unloading the skis to ride:bigeyes::biggthumpup:
probably have it done by the time we finish our first tank of gas and out riding:hail::brap:

 

[jetskier79]

I will say, a scupper is something you want to make sure you do right. You'll be upset with yourself if you rush through it and end up with a scupper sitting an inch and a half above the bottom of your hull.

i did one over the winter...it is much easier and you can take your time and not be worrried you wont be up and running again....but as for the day b4 i wouldnt do it
you gotta take the pipe tank and battery out,thats the minimum you can take out
you've got to drill lowenough as well
there is a lil mounting bolt behind the firewall that is a pain to get through
then to dig and seal everything
id say if you had a weekend to do it yes
but not the day b4

 

[AIRICCC]

do it, its easy and only takes a couple hours, don't use 5200 on anything!
