Surfriding NEW - SURF SEAL - Superjet/Blaster hood seal!

[BostonSJ]

I hope everything has worked out for the best with your family.

Are you making the surf seals again?

All is well now but we are no longer making the seals. The material I could get just kept getting to be a worse quality so it wasn't worth putting out a crap product

But!.... The seal that is used on the Seadoo (XP?) -The 951 model with the steering and hood that lifts up- has the seal you'll want to use. I believe you can order it in foot lengths, and you'll need 8 feet.
It's pricy but it's quality material!

Someone on eBay is selling them but they basically copied us. IF the material they are selling is the same as what we could get, then they are junk. Please make sure you ask them before buying it. (It may not be so please do your home work)

Hope that helps!

Glad to hear all is well. But bummed to hear you aren't making them anymore. I can certainly appreciate you not wanting to send out a bad product though.

I did see the ones on eBay but says it comes from Russia so I was doubtful on the quality.

I did a quick Google search for the Seadoo one. Is this what you are talking about?

Looks like it

Here's the original Seadoo PN
293250047 NEOPRENE SEAL (METER) AR 17.99

$3 a foot is not too bad.
With shipping, etc, you should have it for $30-40
If it's the OEM material, it's worth it!

For those who stumble onto this thread long from now. I purchased the above linked hood seal from OSD for my SN SJ. They were kind enough to send me a scrap piece so I could make sure it works.

There are three spots that need slight trimming.
After that it was rubber mallet to get it all snug.

How is that seal holding up a year later? Might go that route for my square because the front lip sits behind my watcon seal

These work really well on a B1.

No issues at all with it.
Everything still works awesome.

Question for all ... I’m thinking to buy this seal from osd ... I guess these are termed “reverse” considering they mount to the hood itself versus the body? I am curious if I need to take off the existing seal around the engine bay For this new one to sit properly? Or can I keep the old there and use the new reverse seal together with it?

 

[2ride]

Is this still available?

 

[brapperdoodle]

Its showing discontinued on the OSD website... I am going to try and find some.

That seal is actually from the automotive industry and had been used on vehicles for a number of years.Not sure myself if it is still around.
