I will measure later and let you know. I made it just long enough to reach the steering nozzle. Not the best picture of it but you can see it sticking past the original ride plate.
Ok. So... follow up. The extension I added definitely made a difference. It is now much easier to chase down a boat and took a bunch of porpoise out of the ski when cuising around. I did notice it effected how fast I was rotating when attempting back flips. Key word here is attempting. Lol. I...
I was thinking I will run a wire between the extra male ground terminal I have and the curve wire. Then find a good spot where I can just have male and female connectors to open or close the ground.
Ok, so I ran a seperate power wire with a fuse to the zeel. The power I had (factory fuse) is now connected to the red wires that loop in the harness.
How about the pink wires that come in from the harness?
There is an extra male connector from the ground terminal, does it need to go...
Its not the prettiest but it fits and I think it is a great starting place to see how it does. I just need to get out and run it now to see what happens with it on there.
Stay away from super short hulls and you should be fine. My ski is a WDK Rip which is a really short ski and I can still boat chase and ride around just not as fast as the longer skis.
So @Sasquachcrap made a good point and said to try with aluminum first... brilliant idea if you ask me. I picked up a piece of 1/4” x 6” x 12” aluminum. Seems a little thick but will not stick down past the intake grate. Anyway, here is my rough up.
I am going to have to grind some glass and...
Right on... I’ll let you know how it goes. I was originally thinking a flow guard concept but going to try a piece of flat aluminum first. If it makes any noticable positive difference, I will pursue a better version from glass.
