    What? I cannot believe nobody has started this thread.

    Made the journey (and back) this morning. Will do the same each day. Waves are BIG.....but a bit of a washing machine. Water is warmer than the past 4 or 5 years, waves are bigger than the past 4 or 5 years, should be fun!

    Other Pump cone & Exit nozzle Basics

    12/17 Skat swirl This was going on b4 the motor work. Have not had it in the water since rebuild. It's getting turfed now, then it will be done. It's gonna be very different in a lot of ways. I won't likely change anything until I get used to it. It's now 737, ported top to bottom and side to...

    Other Pump cone & Exit nozzle Basics

    Swapping out cones is simple enough to do on the beach. The exit nozzle's not that big of a job either. Gonna have to try a few things in the water. I think my current set-up might be "too many mods" and not enough motor. Can't say for sure til I swap things, but I think I've actually lost...

    Other Pump cone & Exit nozzle Basics

    Found nothing in Tech Faq section. Looking for some education on the subject. I realize that there are 1000 set-ups for different motor/pump combo's, but, there must be some basic rules of thumb. Bored nozzles vs. stock nozzles, stubby cones vs. stock cones, and combinations of both.

    Don't know why, but this is true.

    can I wire bilge switch to e -box

    ....because it's much easier to use a jello mold and encase it in ballistic jelly and spray that down with a silicone-never seize mix which is then powder coated and chromed.

    Surf safety question

    Idok's loops are awesome and look good. Hook up quick and get out of the munch zone!

    can I wire bilge switch to e -box

    To disagree with me is fine. My wife does it all of the time. lol.. I know you have a great product. Your products are in my ski, as you know. I have no issue using the pos/neg in the box. My issue is "opening the box that is working" for the sole purpose of installing bilge wires. As silly as...

    FPD's "Floatorious P.I.G"

    I don't think it's fizzling as much as we've become wave snobs. There was a time when we would ride every chance we had, no matter the conditions. Most of the same folks that have been riding there for years still come around on good days. Some ride Daytona, I guess because it's better for...

    Other Yamaha 155mm?

    Looking for value of used, good condition Yamaha 155mm pumps. Complete with shaft, exit nozzle etc... As you drop it out of the ski. One is from a GP 1200, the other is from an XL 1200. I realize that values change. Just looking for a "ball-park" figure. Plenty of info available for individual...

    FPD's "Floatorious P.I.G"

    Waves and weather permitting, I intend to ride a lot this year. Especially when it warms up. There was a good sized crew at the spot last weekend with some of the best waves of 2014. Surprised you were not there. Daytona? I could have ridden mama's ski again, I guess.....but I hate it. After the...

    Surf safety question

    Twice around the waist works well. Keep in mind that twice around my waist is longer than most tow-ropes out there. lol.

    FPD's "Floatorious P.I.G"

    Start date: November 22, 2013. This has to be some kind of record for the slowest primary-ski rebuild in history. The 14 month saga is nearing it's conclusion.

    can I wire bilge switch to e -box

    My point was all about "service-ability" and maintenance. I don't think any rider with any reasonable amount of experience wants to open up a well sealed e-box because of bilge issues. Yes, less wires and such makes your ski "look really cool".... but bilge pumps screw up more than anything in...
