    Super Jet 2012 SJ Ive joined the dark side, picking up tomorrow

    I would definitely invest in an aftermarket steering set up. There was a guy on here selling a cable specifically for the 08+ SJ's (they changed the handle pole that year) which gives u a bunch of throw back. The stock steering throw is awful on the 08+'s. I'll try and find the guy and send...

    Super Jet B pipe noise level

    You can't please everybody but why not try to keep the noise down if it keeps the neighbors from bugging you? It is not worth the hassle of dealing with them.

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Bilge, auto or not?

    Mike, they change the design to the Tsunami I think. It is pretty tall and air binds as bad as the rules now. The old V500's barely, if ever, air bind. I am currently running my last V500 and a rule together. The rule will take longer to start moving water out every time and sometimes I have...

    Other advice on my first ski

    I have an SJ and have only taken out an SXR a few times. The SXR felt huge to me coming from an SJ, it rides much different but it does seem to handle chop better. I would never want to have an SXR as my only ski, however. It was just more work to flip around. The SJ I felt could move around...

    SX/SXi/SXi Pro Bilge, auto or not?

    I run two manual pumps. People run auto's and have no problem but I have always run into problems with auto bilges and it gets tight to fit them in an SJ. I usually flip mine on when I go out and then leave them on for the whole ride, they are fine to run dry. I just wish the old attwood v500's...

    Freestyle PVC Beach Cart

    I've been using PVC shop stands for a coupe years and they have been fine. It won't be that expensive to put together and if anything breaks it is easily fixable. If I rig one up I'll post the details here. Thanks for the advice, I just don't want to spend $500+ for a beach cart.

    Freestyle PVC Beach Cart

    I'm looking to build a nice cheap PVC beach cart. The only thing I'm stuck on is how I should do the axle bit. Does anybody have any advice for mounting an axle inside 2" PVC piping? I'm going to be using 18" turf wheels with a 1" bore. What are people using for axles for carts? Thanks for...

    Surfriding ***UPDATED*** To Barrel Roll or to not barrel roll- oceanside

    That is pretty much how my barrel roles go with my footholds, can't get past halfway. Hurts like a mother fu€ker sometimes.

    Super Jet B pipe noise level

    I didn't find it too much louder than stock. The exhaust note got deeper I found, much better exhaust note IMO anyway. Don't worry about the volume change, it won't cause you any problems as long as you keep your water box installed.

    Super Jet Finger throttle preference

    Other Riding in contact lenses?

    Lose 1 or 2 a season I find, mostly during subs or underwater stuff. Sometimes they get a little dislodged when I get a good splash of water directly in my eyes. Annoying but not really a problem.

    Freestyle reinforce stock super jet big question from me.

    I ride flat, get some pretty good ship waves however. I reinforced with 1 sheet of 1708 biax over each side of the hull bottom to top. with an extra 6 inch width strip along the bond line. Didn't add too much weight as far as i can feel but I did add a pipe at the same time.

    Super Jet New Member with new 11 SJ - Purchase Question

    prop should be good for now For steering the only easy fix I have found for the 08+ steering is this from schmity1. I have it on my ski, it works great. if you can just get the steering cable off of him, u can use any aftermarket turn plate. FOOTHOLDS should be pretty much at the top of your...

    Super Jet Blowsion Kenney Lip Ripper D-Cut Ride Plate Question

    Picked up one of the blowsion cf ride plates and i have a question about it. They send you a bunch of washers with it (8) but im not exactly sure where to use the washers. If you use them on the bolts, the bolts end up sticking way out since they are angled heads. If anyone has any advice on...
