    Other B pipe coupler substitutes

    One day the coupler ripped and I wanted to ride so I called everyone. Nobody locally had an extra coupler. I drove to the local pepboys and found a silicone coupler for a car intake. It's made by Spectre, is black in color, and believe it's the 4" diameter that you want. Cost $9. I used the...

    River fun in Moabi

    Wrap is holding up great from what I see. I probably don't look at it as closely as Tim does though. I think the base of his pole broke later on that day too.

    Dual 44 Mikuni observations

    Kind of funny. The 760 we put the 44's on is running 120p/100m, 2.3 n/s, 80 spring, 2t on L, 1/2t on High. Only had them on for a little over a week, but it seems great. I haven't done much tuning on the H side so it could probably use another 1/4 turn, maybe.

    River fun in Moabi

    Cheree is definitely loving her SJ. Friday was the first time I had really rode her ski in two months (other than maybe 10 minutes total at various times), but the 44's we put on last week made it so much better. I was having fun with my SJ, but the power difference and the fact that my ski for...

    River fun in Moabi

    Tell her I slacked on film and the few clips I have she was out away from us and hard to see. Next time I'll be sure to get some better footage.

    Dual 44 Mikuni observations

    Figured I would throw in my very limited experience. My wife's ski is 760 with ported cases, widened exhaust ports on cyl, 38cc domes, etc etc. We were running stock 38's until last week (it was all we had). I had heard/read we would only get a minor increase on the low end other than increased...

    Super Jet Shonuff + Pipe Bomb=Hospital Trip

    Holy :-):-):-):-)! I was dealing with algae the other day in my pool and almost did that but found something else to try. I was probably close to being in the same situation. Never thought of my pool plumbing being dangerous.

    Super Jet shortened pole

    I used epoxy resin with some thickener added and stainless nuts/bolts/washers. I even think they were m6 like mentioned above.

    Super Jet shortened pole

    Some poles sit a tiny bit off, but not enough to hit...at least that I am aware. When shortening it's important to get it lined up as centered as possible before epoxying it together. I got lucky when I shortened a pole. Everything fit together nicely and my cut was straight and it almost...

    how-to turf with no seems.

    With some patience, time, creativeness, and careful trimming; it's possible to bring the bottom piece up into the holds and make it one seam. Certain holds will be harder than others. Trying to bend the bottom piece up into the holds (once glue has been brushed on) without touching any sides is...

    how-to turf with no seems.

    I had the same problem as you when I went to turf holds the first time. On the SJ I did I used scraps on the inside of the foothold. The one piece side stops just after it wraps around the hump and into the hold. Basically you make it look seamless, but you have seams inside the foothold that...

    Another X-metal water box comparison

    hahaha, that was pretty bad, I just didn't have any other good video trying to show the sound. I blip a lot, but it's waaaay worse in that video thanks to an semi injured hand/finger

    Another X-metal water box comparison

    Okay here's a 1 min. video showing what it sounds like in the water. **note** The ski needs more brap (soon), I'm not used to a RN yet, and I suck anyway. Just trying to show what the box sounds like in the water. http://vimeo.com/23704015 from xnij on Vimeo.

    Super Jet leaky scupper soulition??

    Al, I say ditch the scupper, seal over, and run dual bilges. The original plan will net you less hassle in the long run.
