Super Jet Superjet Foam Question

[icecoled007]

I used the search but could not find....

I am a new owner of a 96 superjet, should I do something additional to cover up those stickers where the foam was used to fill the side rails? I know water logged foam is a big concern but I dont know If I should do something additional to block those holes up and make them more secure for preventing water.

Thanks in advance

you can glass them in or use 5200....

Some people glass them over. Others don't.

You are talking about the access holes on the firewall to get to the gunwales/tray correct?

Yes sir, I cant tell if there is any water in there but the OEM stickers are intact.... anything you guys recommend from a maintenance perspective?

The water intrusion doesn't really come from there.

 

[icecoled007]

Oh? Where does it come from?

 

[AZRIDER]

the bottom of the tray mainly

around the drive shaft
around the exhaust
all around the bond line
at the mid-shaft
that about covers it

The bond line, pump inserts, ride plate inserts, intake grate inserts, thru-hull tubes, the exhaust tube flange, and bad foothold installations

:no: Holy cow, so theres nothing you can do to protect yourself

How common is it for a skis foam to be water logged?

 

[Matt_E]

It's very uncommon for a Superjet NOT to be waterlogged.
