    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    I wish I had done exactly what you said. But being new to this and having poopti excuses for anything I say in this very post. . . well. I didn't listen. Guys if you read this needing glass help. Do what this guy said. Come out of this worried about the interior glass look rather than being a...

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Well its been 2 months and ski is apart again. I rode on Monday with a coworker and he lost control and ended up t-boning me. So I've got a hole to repair. I've never played with glass to this extent but it makes sense. What I've done is grind out the bad. Still a bit more to go before I start...

    1985 & 1987 JS 550 Issues w/ running in water

    You need to open the carbs and see what jets, needle and seat and springs are in the carbs And turn in the low and high adjusters making note how many turns so you can put them back. Then you'll know what you have and at that point people can help you more thoroughly.

    Blaster vs. SeaDoo Spark (or SuperJet?)

    It's a 90. I hated it. It scratches super easy. It looks like a ski made out of Tupperware and I don't find it at all comfortable. Plus I don't like four strokes. Power del is something I wasn't impressed with. Buying a sit down I really would still pull on other options than a Spark. But being...

    Blaster vs. SeaDoo Spark (or SuperJet?)

    My friend bought a spark. Rode it. It sucks. Its not at all small. Slow and gutless. She just cruises so its perfect for her. Sj or b1 for sure. If a sit down is what you want id go with an x4 787 seadoo. Maybe a Zxi 1100

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Alright I'm to the point where I'll be painting the hull very soon. I was curious what your experience with this epoxy has been regarding recoating. The can states within 30 min or after 7 days. Have you sanded it at all? If so how did it come out? I was planning on running 400 grit over the...

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    I'm still thinking about it. I don't think the pin holes will really bother me. Few coats of paint and I won't really see them anyway. Great suggestion though. If I ever get to the point I want to rebuild my B1 to the point of new that is definitely something to consider. I have an old 83...

    Blaster Umi steering rebuild

    I don't have this setup but it looks like you pull the bottom nut. Pull the shaft and knock the bearings out. There should be a part number on the bearings.

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Well I'd really like to extend my appreciation and a big thank you to you guys that helped me. I really was more nervous than this process should have made me. But since this is my favorite object I couldn't chance it. Now that it's been a few weeks and I've had some time to mix a few rounds of...

    Blaster Aluminum Shoe

    Bunch of grinding but its in. Portable belt sander worked great to get the shoe level with the hull.

    Blaster Aluminum Shoe

    I've just about finished the shoe fit prep. I need to drill some holes to mount the shoe and then after that is done, provided they all align and I don't have to fill holes and wait for resin to cure and redrill I'll be gluing my new alum shoe in. I figure I can use my small belt sander to sand...

    Blaster Aluminum Shoe

    I just bought an aluminum shoe and was curious if you guys have had to grind the show down so its flush with the bottom of the hull? I've been doing some searching online and haven't really come up with much. I'm a little worried. The Blowsion shoe I bought sticks out from the bottom of the hull...

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Well while waiting for the last coat of epoxy to fully cure I was looking at the pump shoe and noticed its broken right where the intake grate bolts up. So a heat gun a hammer, utility knife and a screw driver plus about 1 1/2 hours later I got the shoe out in billions of pieces. Some of the gel...

    Blaster bolts backing out Riva Red Pipe

    I know this is an old thread but I just got a Red Pipe for my B1 twin carb and could use some help with carb setup. I've been searching for a few days on and off. I'm at sea level in the SF bay area. Curious what size needle and seat, spring color, pilot and main jet sizes I should start with.

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Awesome info guys. I'll definitely look up cabosil. Hopefully West Marine has some. I only have two small containers of 410 and 407 if my memory serves. Just the stuff that came in the small repair kit I bought. West Systems stuff. I do prefer the stuff that is harder to stand for the obvious...

    Blaster Noob to Glass. Minor Hull Repair

    Didn't think about using a roller. I'm only familiar using epoxy for the most part when I use to build wood r/c airplanes. But then micro balloons were the only filler for spots needing it. I'll hit up west marine at lunch. Its next to harbor freight where I'll grab a new sanding block and some...
