I wanted a nice smooth edge.. Maybe I'll do it differently next time, only my first time working with fiberglass and I didn't want to have to worry about leaving air around the screw heads.

Let us know if you have any luck with your hunt, it was about this time of year when I was looking for my ski.

One small issue I'm having: I foamed behind the footholds this morning, went fine. I took the screws out tonight. I wanted to fill the screw holes with the epoxy glue but in some of the holes the glue keeps being pushed out by air. The hole will form a bubble on the end and nothing will stay in...

A little more progress on the footholds:

Update: Adding the following over my winter break in February 2011: - ATP Steering System - ATP Keepers - Second Bilge - Rotary bilge switch in the dash - Handlepole limiting rope - Hood straps - B Pipe!!! - Worx 228 Intake Grate - Stubby Cone (x-h2o member Freestyle 650's stubby cone) - Primer...

You just gotta start calling marinas that sell Yamaha watercraft. That's how I found mine. Rusty Palmer's in Pennsylvania, they had one 08 on the lot back when I bought mine in 2008 (http://www.rustypalmer.net/). You don't need an American address or anything like that. Just be prepared to pay...

Anyone have any input on cementing over the roughed up glue?

I have got all of the rubber off using a wire wheel, but the glue still remains, hard as hell. Is it alright to cement over this? This has been the most stressful thing to deal with.. Some of the rubber is glued almost to the gel coat where the turf wont cover and getting that off is hard to...

Sometimes I feel like it is a bit glitchy, I always get a bunch of random threads when I search for something.

Thanks. I've got one off, just gotta get the pieces of rubber left. I will be happy to be done with these things.

Alright, I'm removing the stock turf on my 08 SJ, got all of it off no problem. Now the rail caps, how in the hell do people get these things off? They are glued down with some super superglue that acetone doesn't even seem to eat at. The rubber rips before the glue will rip. Any tips? This is...

Thanks a lot. Should come in handy when I get around to doing this job. When you say the correct wrench to allow for not removing the pump, what do you mean? I would love to do this without removing the pump. Any specific torques required for the bolts or just tighten them up pretty well?

Wondering if anyone could help me out here. I'm about to replace my my steering cable and and plate and am not sure how to go about it. Could anyone give me the key steps to this process and some tools that are necessary? Thanks a lot guys, George

Do you find the carbon fiber glass to be stronger then regular E-glass? Yeah, probably a dumb question. That stuff if god damn expensive!

I was wondering if you guys could help me here, I'm about to do my first foothold install and am trying to figure out how much cloth I will need. I know its specific to your own job but I just need a ballpark so I don't under order or have a ton of cloth laying around afterward. Thanks a lot...

I'm 23, have been riding for two years now. Two guys I know on the river here ride too that are younger then me - 18 and 22. They are usually the first ones out on the river in the spring too! I can't see myself giving it up. When I have buddies over that don't ride, they didn't know...

Haha. Wow, none of what that guy was doing made any sense. Good story for a laugh though, thanks!

Agreed.

It's pretty ridiculous. I live on the border so I do a ton of my shopping in the US due to this fact. Canadian retailers are not adjusting prices even after our dollar has been >90% of the US dollar for a while now. Good for you for saying something to them.

Live on the St. Lawrence River in Canada. Riding season for me usually doesn't begin until the water is at least 50+ degrees. Which is usually around the beginning of May. The air has been in the 70's up here the last few days though and man it is making it hard not to go out. Well, until I...
