They are zinc plated and if you ran them through a die you might want to replace them if it stripped the zinc off. The zinc acts as the sacrificial anode. If you stripped it off, the bolt will corrode rapidly. Yamaha engine bolts are just chrome plated steel.

I didn't, it's still sitting on my bench.

I've seen much worse hold up much longer in pretty big sets. I wouldn't worry too much.

Scottie, I've had brand new beach house sponsons in the parts bin since the mid 90's. Have you ran these? I assume they would accomplish the same thing as the JAM sponsons, but who knows. I was always happy with my setup, so I never bothered installing them. I have another hull that has them...

Has anyone ever compared the two HP wise? Trying to decide which to use in a big bore bouy boat and which to use in a big bore surf boat. Anyone have any thoughts on the two setups?

Sweet! Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the info my friend. Yeah, I was thinking that the middle cylinder bolt looks to be a very tight fit. Don't think my Riva girdled is going to fit in there... Have you ever heard of anyone going big bore on these?

Way back in the day I picked this up. I can't remember where or from who...my memory sucks in my old age. Haha. I was thinking about going big bore with it as I thought it would probably net more go fast than a big bore (89mm) 62T. What do you guys think? Not to mention I don't think I would...

Would love to ride your blaster one of these days Masher. I've never ridden one with sponsons, so I can't comment either way. Would be nice to know if I should actually get my sponson'd hull running. :) I think my non-sponson hull hooks up pretty good. Would be pretty cool if it was even...

Dual cooling lines---->Upper and lower exhaust manifold. Rear head---->Upper Riva head pipe Front head---->Bypass thru hull (I use a regulated flow) Lower Riva head pipe---->Riva stinger (at the water box) and tee it off right there to the second thru hull bypass.

At least we thought it was going to be video...oops. Freakin' amateurs. :loser: Oh well...750 pics and a couple cool ones. If I print them out on paper and flip through it really fast it kind of looks like video! LOL Thanks again John for the use of your tote! Parking blows as usual.

Pretty sure you meant an Ocean Pro nozzle, don't remember the Protec having the splitter. Anyway, I've bent several OE cables with my OP nozzle. You can use 1/4" copper pipe and some small pieces of hose to hold it to strengthen the cable housing at the nozzle. This works very well. Or you can...

It's more challenging if I'm always on the verge of sinking. :biggrin:

I had surgery last week and the doc replaced my brain with gyro's. He said it's the only way I'm ever going to find a steady relationship. :confused: Who knew it would have other advantages!

Thanks, I have some specs put together I'm running now. I just want to run it for a while and make sure it stands up to my abuse.

:D More people wanted aluminum than stainless. It doesn't look like I can get them in aluminum. Stainless only. Still working on the minimums and length/pressure specs.

Yes.

That's weird...works when I use Opera but not IE.
