Good looking ski... !!!

I was not sure if the silicone spray was going to work as I did not think it would penetrate inside of the threads... sprayed it big time... left... came back and whacked it... first swing... I was pumped... Midshaft was tougher because the shaft keep spinning... both are off so I am happy... !!!

I just whacked the piss out of it... 1 dead blow and she came loose with ease... Midshaft was another animal... Glad I started with that one first... !!!

Midshaft coupler was a PITA to get off... I had to grind that baby off in multiple places... The coupler on the motor I took a different approach which worked... Lubed outer threads around perimeter and let sit for an hour... Grabbed lunch... Came back to shop... got the cylinders on the...

I am thinking that once I sand the curved part of the hull where the shoe fits... it will lower the shoe which in turn will help line up with the grate and allow for a better pump install... I almost had it done today until I realized I needed more sanding, plus, I had no lunch and a super early...

[QUOTi="WB1994, post: 1689008, member: 2054"]Ive installed thre different Bot's pump shoes. Sand the hull till the shoe fits easily. Then instal your pump and o ring setup that came with the hull . Get the pump shimmed perfect 100% so the driveshaft is dead center on the hole on the inside of...

OEM RN shoe... I already mocked it up once... it appears that my intake worx grate will need a little dremel... no big deal really... just trying to get everything to seat nice and tight... that is my dilema that I am having... I even siliconed the pump shoe with the oring plate to have a nice...

[QUOT="ChadGnarly, post: 1591645, member: 7014"]We got the pump in today and it went really smooth. Virtually no shimming was needed, made the build go much faster. I am installing my pump set up and it is not going that smooth... looks like I have to sand down some more for the shoe to sit...

Your welcome VSX..... enjoy your riding and the best... !!!

Thank you J..... hope you enjoy those tubbies.... let me know if you have any questions and A+ for your feedback and purchase.... Great transaction... !!!

Great for all of these flatwater dudes... Give us some real reports riding in the surf ??? Do these babies carve on a dime... slash some waves... rip it from side to side... etc... I am excited to hear as I am finishing mine up... Remember... I am coming off of a SN... !!!

Thanks JO5... she will be complete soon... Taking my time and getting everything perfect once... This will be my last ski and I want to make sure she is built right to last... !!!

All because of that Oring the OVP steering cannot be used anywhere else unless you would CNC for this Oring to fit... !!!

Nope because of an Oring which seals the OVP steering... I will shoot you a pic today to help explain... it will be posted here... this Oring is CNC cut into the neck so you will understand once you see the pic... !!! The Blowsion pole will accept aftermarket steering systems with zero...

I sanded 1/8" per side... Worked out mint and it is good to know that it seperates for future BOT builders... still plenty beefy enough and solid...!!!

Plenty of room for front foothold.... once turfed it will be a perfect fit... !!!

Looks good dirty... nice work... !!!

I'd rather turn wrenches then ever try to turf... Real time consuming BS if you want it right... Hat's off to the Pro's... Also... when they turf they will put padding where as needed in footholds... I am done with the padding... Had enough... LOL !!!

Transition complete / front foothold complete... The turf will be completed by the Pro's.... forget that mess... lol

Ohhhh you are not even kidding... Now trying to figure out which one is more expensive... hahahha
