the pipe is too fat and hitting the side of the ski cocking the motor to the right
been playing the pipe with a small 3 pound hammer and it just fits now
a little more hammering to make room for a layer of turf between the side of the chamber and the hull ....
no problem with the gas tank in the SN, just had to cut about 1/2 inch off one side the lord mount bolts so it wouldn't rub
the pipe mount bracket itself seems fine and properly configured
hope this is worth the effort!
