    fresh hull build-

    Well it sounds like you've made progress by learning from your mistakes. That's how you get really good at your craft. Don't get discouraged. Maybe try and pick some hull builders or composite master's brains for some tricks of the trade for your issues. I'm sure I speak for everyone on this...

    Wiring up Blowsion bilge switch, only 3 wires?

    If you want to get fancy you can do what I did. Use a diode and wire it up so that left on the switch turns on one pump and right turns on both...

    Can you install conectors on stator wires?

    I am a solder junky too, but the 4 way crimp from the Deutsch tool, environmental seals in the connectors and added dielectric grease just makes it unnecessary in my opinion.

    Can you install conectors on stator wires?

    I swear by Deutsch connectors and use nothing else for watercraft. I have them on my SJ ebox as well as the JSS battery disconnect kit. It's wonderful to be able to pull the entire ebox in 30 seconds to work on it. As for the Deutsch crimper, I found mine on Amazon I think for like $20 or...

    Help, Midshaft stuck to pump shaft

    Just be prepared for the worst. If it is stuck that bad, I picture the driveshaft splines being toast anyway... They probably yielded or galled and will not end up in usable shape when the midshaft is finally pulled free. I hope that isn't the case and wish you luck, just giving you a heads up.

    Help, Midshaft stuck to pump shaft

    At this point I'd say cut the driveshaft and be done with it. Sucks that you'll need a new driveshaft and midshaft, but sadly jetskis always find a way to drain your wallet.

    SJ oem chinpad, defoamded and turfed?

    I turfed my chinpad. I ended up reinforcing the inside with a layer or two of fiberglass cloth to stiffen it up. I also cut out the foam from the pad to fill the two recesses where the mounting tabs are. I cut the turf at a 45deg angle. It has held up for about 9 years now. I'll try and...

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    If you look at the album I provide links to the stuff I used. The drivers are HiVi and Dayton Audio. The finished pair sounds like something you'd pay a lot more for in a store. They're perfect for a garage if you have enough power for them.

    Other What did you fab up today? A thread for the home fabricators!

    Just finished building some garage speakers and a sub. The speakers were from a kit, sub was from an internet design by the same guy that designed the speaker cabinets. I'm now hooked on DIY audio and now looking to build more and bigger speakers!

    2 seized engines, need help with jetting.

    If the tank cap is off, you should be able to easily blow through the check valve... Pull it off and try blowing through in different directions. One should be nearly impossible, the other should be like blowing through a straw. Is it a new or used check valve?

    Correct, pressure so go into the tank but not out.

    2 seized engines, need help with jetting.

    Auto zone line should be fine. Fuel selectors can be notorious for letting air into the fuel system, until you figure out your issue, you may try a section of clear line just before the carb to see if any air bubbles are present. Also, are you running a check valve on your fuel tank vent? The...

    2 seized engines, need help with jetting.

    That piston has virtually no wash and looks super lean. Either your carb jets, internal carb filter or something is restricting fuel or putting air in your fuel lines. What are you using for fuel line? Are you running a fuel selector (On/off/reserve)? Are you running a check valve on your...
