You don’t need to slit the noodle if you just pull the tag end out of the ratchet, feed it trough the noodle with a dowel rod and then back into the ratchet mechanism. By doing that it all stays together nice for use each time and if the noodle rolls as you tighten it up the strap won’t slip out...

We have a couple of the Can Am 800 twin Outlanders and they have been bullet proof, super powerful and ride smooth. The Max is a bit longer and easily seats two and is preferred over our shorter standard quad. I regularly launch 4 stand ups at a time with it and never have any power issues...

Don’t over complicate things. Make sure your case half surfaces are clean and flat, then assemble the engine without the pins locating the bearings. As long as you use a fresh tube of Yamabond that’s nice and runny to lay out thin and don’t overdue the case sealer, the bearings will pinch like...

I have some

Do just as you mentioned and it should remain aligned. Depending on the midshaft your planning to use you may need to machine the OD on it to get your depth without bottoming the bearing on the shelf on the shaft

The $125 eBay stands are solid. Quality welds, nice nylon webbing and webbing bindings. Can’t go wrong, seem just as nice as the older AC stands. I added a couple of them to the mix last year and have been great.

The impeller tools are weak and because they are hollow to pass over shaft collapse easily. I tack weld a large nut to to the nose of the impeller that you can get a bigger box end wrench onto. 3/4 “ nut drilled out to 3/4” ID works well. (1 1/8” hex not a 1/2” nut that uses 3/4” hex like most...

Square up the exhaust port without raising it and go to 85 mm to make an 800 and you will be pleasantly surprised. The777’s rip as they are with the football shaped exhaust port but put a real exhaust port in it and they flat out scream. I can send you some 85’s with the MSD stuff if you...

I have both

Either drill and tap it out to 10mm or helicoil it back to 8 -1.25. Either way watch drill depth so you don’t violate the bottom deck or you will have a hole to fill,lol

Maybe you are already aware your missing a mount base bolt

Will there be enough head pipe length without a mid pipe on there to build bottom end? I’ve wondered about this as well trying to fit pipes into our little Ninja X and now a Tigercraft J1 also. Bulkhead fuel tank made some space up front for us.

XScream hulls have rubber water lines clamped between segments of aluminum through transom and bulkhead. Those are buried under tray and non serviceable. I’m with you, I don’t see a problem with the silicone and t bolt clamp. We have all had traditional hose/gear clamps fail so I wouldn’t go...

A coating of Yamabond and no base gasket nets almost .005, especially if it flashes for a minute or two before assembly

Heat is your friend too. Use a propane torch to heat up the aluminum around the threads in the case and the cylinder base holes. It will expand more than the steel stud and relieve some of the tension that the corrosion has created between the steel stud and aluminum castings.

The lighter duty versions like the one above have one telescopic friction anti-sway bar and does not transfer load to front tires of tow rig. Most dual anti sway hitches have torsion bars that lift the rear of the truck/trailer connection and preload the weight onto the front tires of the...

27mm socket welded to a length of tube that passes over the section of steer cable protruding from retaining nut, (basically made a super deep well socket) I drilled out the 1/2” square drive to open the hole up to change 6mm couch cables too. By welding a junk 3/8 drive socket on the end it...

Use a deep cycle battery to power a small inverter that will provide 120 ac power for your lithium chargers. The real battery charger is the only way to properly charge the lithium battery. Using a 12 volt battery to just bleed charge a lithium is not a good long term solution for a whole summer...
