It's a fix for the turning issues caused by the FX-1 pole Yamaha put on the 08+ SJ's. If you have a pre 08 pole you won't need this setup and can just use a regular steering cable.
Sorry, was on my phone at the time of my post so couldn't throw up a link. Here is the link to the X-H2O thread: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/68034-2008-2010-Steering-system-NEW****
It works with aftermarket turn plates, it is probably the best mod I have done to my ski in terms of handling.
Many thanks to the creators of this site. Without it I'd still be looking at my stock ski wondering how I could somehow get my feet held into the tray better.
Check out the kit TS Innovations is selling on here. I put it on my 08 and it fixed the steering issues. It is basically a modified steering cable that allows for far greater throw. Great way to finally get great throw with a stock 08+ pole.
I would definitely think about getting some but not for $50. It's funny because my buddy who is big into sleds was telling me about this stuff just the other day and then I stumbled upon these today.
Anyone try these things?

They look like a simple way to reduce water into the bilge with a stock hood. Seems expensive for what they are to me though.
Glassing isn't tough. I did it for my first time last spring and it just takes good planning. Go for it man. Also, the turf kits go on easy and don't look bad. However, if you get good with turf you can do a better job with a sheet. But it will look good if you take your time either way. Good...
Old thread, but I have a question..
So the carbs on the 08+'s don't have tamper proof caps on them? Everywhere says something different about this.
I'm going to be installing a b pipe in the spring so I'm trying to figure out everything I'll need to do.
Thanks for the help!
When I hear Blowsion, all I can think of is UPS.. When I hear UPS, all I can think of is brokerage fee...
Off topic, but the dig on Blowsion reminded me of it. Someone tell them to offer a USPS option to Canada.
Same here. I think the mat kit can look great if you do it right. One thing I disliked is the Wamilton logo in the turf but I think you can order the pre-cut through hydro-turf directly and get it without the logo.
Thanks, I won't add them then. Not really looking at changing the stock carbs. I'm really just learning all the in's and out's of these engines so this is good info.
