    Sounds good to me. What size did you run? My fear is not having enough amp hours. Ski dies wont start and bilge pump dies too.

    Here are a few questions for anyone who has dealt with very limited battery access on their ski. My RIP can only fit a small group 12 (i think) battery in and out with the motor in place. It lives on the left side of the ski behind the bulkhead mount and under the tray (sorta). To put in a...

    Both jeff curry and my comp one rep explained to me with poly you can come back way later and scuff it up and add layers and it will "almost melt" into itself. I did this myself when I changed out motor mounts on my GTX2, and then again when I hated how far back I had set them, removing my...

    Awesome, I will be adding screws. Maybe like 3/4" diameter just for added security. My pole is max bun copy, it has no saftey rod. Max does not make the poles anymore nor does he support them. When I bought it the package with the bushings broke open In shipping and i didnt know i lost...

    I am thinking of going that route as well. Great thread on it. I'd like to hear how the ignition made a difference, or not.
