SJ Round Nose Water box mounting

[steve-uk]

we have been working on one of the guys skis recently and found that when we compare three skis with stock water boxes one has been installed the opposite way around to the others... so then this has managed to cause confusion on what is the right way around for a stock water box

does it even matter? im not 100% on the actual baffle design inside a stock water box, so does it mater which way around its installed

if anyone wants to post up pictures of their stock water box installed that woudl be great too...

on a stock water box there is a weld done the centre, its slightly off set, so would be interested to see which way around it is...

thanks for any input

thanks guys, out of the skis we have the water box seems to fit snugly differently on each

we think the one stock ski with stock nose foam has the box in correct as it seems there is only one way it can go, once you have no nose foam you suddenly have a mutliple choice of orientations.

our concern was, if its in backwards will it cause back pressure issues, or are the baffles laid out in such a way that it doesnt matter, to me i dont think it matters as they are simple baffles inside
