My MSD dual digital TL stupid questions thread.

I use Seadoo's, and are fairly decent in salt water use.

I noticed that the Seadoo solenoids are the cheapest of all PWC solenoids, but for some strange some reason I think I will have a hard time sticking a Seadoo part in my SJ...:biggrin:

I had an exposed evinrude O/B boat motor starter relay in my x2 for a while. Worked well and appeared to be pretty well sealed.
Think I still got it if you want to try it...
Here's what it looks like.

Starter relay

Our favorite starter relay is extremely durable and is waterproof. The heavy duty casing and contact relays will withstand even the most extreme saltwater abuse. The quick disconnect wiring to the relay makes it easy to use with MSD or other ignition systems. $39.95

Nice....I might pick that up. I reckon I'll give you a call today.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Does that comes with the connector? I do like it.

 

[SUPERTUNE]

That's exactly like the Seadoo one! The newer ones from Seadoo are now light brown colored and if you buy the relay model for updating a older seadoo, it comes as a kit and includes the plug! $40 is about right!

 

[Matt_E]

Yup....I ordered one

 

[Matt_E]

FWIW, the OEM Yamaha relay also costs about 40.

 

[Eric C]

does anyone have any info or experience with that holeshot feature thats on the msd site.

 

[Matt_E]

It is basically a secondary rev limiter you can activate with a button. The idea is to not let the engine rev past a certain point to limit cavitation off the bottom.

I believe it's a racer feature. I wouldn't bother for a freestyle/freeride/recreational application.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

OK, next question! :smile:

My set-up didnt come with a on/off switch. What are you guys using that is good and waterproof? and where are you muonting the switch?

Thanks in advance!

 

[Matt_E]

I am using a rotary switch on the dash. I think it came with another ignition I bought.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Is that like the dual Blowsion or Riva military grade rotary switch that are like $40?
On the dash, I'd be worried about kicking or something maybe.. hmmm

 

[michael950]

They have a guard for the rotary...

This one is Blowsion, Hot Products has another variation that is more sano:

Yamaha has a new style starter relay, pics attached.

I'm going to mount mine on the dash... I got the rotary switches too....

If your worried about kicking it there are two guards out there:
watcon and blowsion: http://watcon.com/Catalog_Pages/Rotary_Switch_Cvr.htm
and there is a another style in the hotproducts catalog....

 

[2lick]

beat me to it.... lol

 

[Matt_E]

I run a rotary without a guard. It hasn't been a problem in the 18 months that I've used it.

 

[2lick]

um.... what does the relay do and where does it go in the setup..... msd dosnt have one in there manual...... or am i blind?

 

[Matt_E]

They have it. It makes the starter go. LOL
