superjet wet foam!!:(

[faceplant]

ok just cut out old hacked up footholds on my 07 superjet.the foam is def wet,when i push on it water bubbles up.is there any way to dry it out.or i need to re foam??im putting the bob kit in so a good chunk of the tray is already out!what u guys think??

 

[Lumpy]

Get the wet chit out (all of it even the stuff thats not wet) and replace with foam that doesnt absorb water and add hull drain to rear of ski

do a search there's plenty of threads like this one

Pink home depot insulation foam. Do a search on here for 'foam' and you should find more info.. It's been covered quite a few times for sure. Good luck! Defoaming sucks.

I used the typical plastic drain plugs you find on most sit downs on my ski rather than the small metal plugs people were using. I got the pair for 9$ from JetManiac, include stainless screws.

. ok do i plug these 2 holes in side on the firewall before refoaming?they have a white sticker seems like they would let alot of water in.but im gonna be running the drain plugs so does it even matter?

Yes, seal them up. Those are the holes where the factory pours in the foam.

1/2 pvc tube, route it just like the steering cable tube(the black one in your pic).
You can use a heat gun to bend the tube like the stock one.

ok great so right above the steering line right?sorry for all the questions not trying to muck it up!!

 

[Roseand]

No, I did mine on the opposite side. You can do it above the steering one if you want to. I just decided to go the opposite.

It's the white tube on the left.

whatever is easier,do the trim systems pull from either side or the left?and what i pm jetmaniac about the drain plugs or they have a website,maybe its the skiclinic?

 

[Roseand]

PM the user Jetmaniac.
Left side will be easier to seal and get a heat gun to bend it around.
I believe they usually pull from the left.
