Cool pics. Major throw on that steering!

What happens to skis with those aftermarket nozzles when they idle on their own? Go straight or turn either way? My standup ski will circle either left or right. Usually right, but I thought that it had something to do with engine torque.

Cool bilge mount! I think I figured out why that half circle shaped extension was there. This part of the nozzle is the same as what Kawasaki put on the 650SX. The SX has no trim so the turning part of the nozzle mounts right to the first part (the part with this extension). The SX turn...

That's a good idea! Do you use an automatic float switch or a handle bar mounted one? The engine is out now so I can get in there to fabricate an actuator for a trim push/pull rod running down the original cooling return pipe.

Well I hacked most of it off so we'll see what effect it has. This stock bilge pump worked excellent before but I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe I'll need an electric bilge pump now.

Thank you! I'll do it.

Absolutely killer build!!! Has your stock trim cable been holding up alright now that it's lever operated? How hard is it to pull under power?

I don't want to remove the tube or change anything about it. I just want to loose the plastic half circle shaped extension of the nozzle so I can get more throw out of it.

I have not ridden it yet. This is just a mock up. It pulls far but the nozzle physically binds before it gets high enough. This is from two things: the half circle extension near the stock bilge pipe and the actuator arm itself (the plastic extension that the ball is mounted to). I want to...

So, I do need this for the stock siphon bilge system then. I'm not talking about touching the pipe at all; just the plastic oval after it. Won't the passing of water over this angled pipe create the suction?

I used a standard replacement brake inner cable for a mountain bike brake. $2. These cables are purchased separately from the outer cable housing and can be made any length because you simply clamp it at the appropriate length. I sandwiched the end between two nuts on a bolt that threads into...

I can use a nylon liner on this cable with rubber seals at the ends. The only problem with a motorcycle cable is they are fixed length with threaded fittings on each end which would not fit through this hole in the hull. Haven't guys been bending the stock cable because of the forces on it...

I flipped the trim nozzle segment 180 degrees so the brass actuator ball is on the top and Pulls to add up trim. With it flipped, it lines up perfectly with the top 'return' hole in the hull. I ran a bicycle brake cable through that hole into the engine bay and up the boot to a cheap bike...

I want to cut this half circle shaped tab off near the end of the scupper pipe so I can get more throw from the trim nozzle. I know it's been done but I think those guys had a bilge pump and removed the scupper all together. I still want to run the scupper and wondered if this piece was...

You don't need them in Canada but I have one for when I ride in the States in case I get checked. I don't think I'd ever be fumbling around to open a compartment below the water line (that usually requires tools to open anyway) when I could just flip the ski over in seconds.

Wicked video!

Same thing happened to me three weeks ago too. I leaned to turn. I was able to weld the fancy fitting that broke. Then I adjusted my steering throw properly so there was no more pressure on the fitting when at full travel. So the turn plate reached max travel a hair before the nozzle, not...

I got mine this week. It took over three weeks but it got here...gotta love Canada Post.

Hi Jay, Sorry for the slow reply. Mine has a '93 serial number but the title said '95. The previous owner took off most to the decals. I completely redid the paint and bodywork (cracked hood and handle pole) So far the handle pole is holding up but I didn't beef the hood up enough because...

That looks perfect! Must get now.
