Here is the surf armor switch installed in a 750sxi

Alright guys, finally have everything done...except the bilge lol...the ski is ready for a dry start!! Few notes- I put actual clamps on the cooling lines that I wouldnt be able to get to readily, I think ill be replacing the zip ties on the top cooling lines after a test run but we will...

^ Keep an eye out and have the money ready to go to pick up the pipe you want, everyone says factory pipes are the best and I havent tried one but I would still agree from what I have heard/researched...you can tune factory pipes for whatever type of riding you want to do...I went with the R&D...

www.hydroturf.com buy padding there.. 8mm for the bottom 5mm for the sides.

My kit came with 8mm on the bottom mat, but nothing on the side mats...sxipro02 said 5mm on the sides fits very well but I opted to not put padding on mine...mine is a race ski tho and dont plan on falling off close to the ski if I wipe out lol

Probably, and would look bulky also...there is padding underneath the part of the tray where you stand and I hear of people putting 5mm padding under the sides which sounds like a good idea, i just didnt do it...

Paint your ski before you turf, it will make it easier for you and the painter...but yes you dont want ANYTHING on the hull where you are turfing and that includes paint...so have the painter paint a little inside the tray but remember you will be sanding it so the turf sticks so he doesnt need...

Nice grips, they look familiar! haha

The westcoast exhaust is for a 650 because the exhaust goes forward to where a 650 waterbox would be....its waaaaaay over priced too, you will also need an aftermarket manifold for it...you could make it work if you find the westcoast U bend pipe but in the end it wouldnt be worth all the...

oh yeah I know what your talking about now...I would ask around but my thoughts would be chopped to the hull and weave on the outside? And your going to turf over those bolt heads anyhow, I believe they are for the pump..no worries..

I thought I heard to not use chopped only mat? You got all this stuff from blowsion? Your talking about the rivets (bolt heads)? I would just glass over em.. F it haha

I hope this gets worked out soon, this has gone on for to long...wheres the customer service? :nono:

Should have just bought your supplies from uscomposites, would have already been there! haha As far as the decals do you really want to put some on just for the season to pay more next season to do it again? I have found out when putting my ski together that as long as Im doing something to do...

deviantek- just go to pwctoday and put a WTB up, thats how I found my cover $25. Honestly the ski doesnt look as good without one..in my opinion.. Lightnin- Did you order that decal set yet?

^Interested to see a gopro of the ski, go hit some big boat wake maybe you will make it farther around ;)

Thanks Ice! Well guys thought I could put the engine in quick last night but I still had to tweak the fuel system/electrics a bit so everything is done right...the engine should be done this week sometime...Ill update when that happens!

I removed the rails, sanded the hull and turfed right to the hull...I wouldnt turf over the rails... on the storage holes, I filled them with 4lb 2 part expanding foam from www.uscomposites.com then glassed over them with 4 layers of 6oz S glass, then sanded them and turfed over them too...

Nice, well you should be fine then...its one of those things you just have to do and learn as you go but let me know if you have any questions I can try to help...btw make sure when you get the kit to test fit everything to see how its going to fit together because my HT kit was uneven from side...

I think the spring is a stock sxi? The pole is a aluminum -2 so its lighter than stock which is why it sits up a little higher, and yeah let me know if you need help turfing, watch the wamiltons videos on youtube...I went off those for most of this plus some experience from turfing my 650sx

Your turf looks good too! I found out I had to test fit every piece multiple times, cut then stretch the turf to meet where I wanted it to sit for it to turn out decent...thankfully I think the blue camo hides alot of my mistakes! haha
