94 Blaster Project

[JetSkiDood]

Thanks for the input tom. After more digging it looks like the venture housing should work as you say. The venture housing is 61X-45332-01-9M and the B1 housing is 61X-45332-00-9M. Close enough for Gov't work!!! Ha! The pump I want to put in is complete from a SN. 4 bolts, Shafts are not the same will need the 28 3/4 in. shaft (SJ is 26 in.). A friend is bringing over the housing and shaft from the venture tonight. We'll see if it is the right length.

OK, looks like I need B1 drive shaft, Motor Mounts and Ride Plate. I have lots of Square Nose parts to trade....................

Cool project!

Ok, drive shaft, Mid Shaft, Motor Mounts and a Pro-Tec Ride Plate are on the way. Should be able to see if it floats soon! This has a single Duck Bill on it. Should I take it off as I have heard they leak?

I would get rid of the duck bill, if you plan to ride surf.

I would keep it on if you ride flatwater only.

Mine were busted off when I hit bottom in the surf, but they did not leak while they were on the ski otherwise.

UPDATE......Motor time!

Well, I have never seen this motor run, but heard it had been rebuilt by the yahama shop (of course I take that with a grain of salt). Looks pretty good in the cylinders (like I would know) but at least no rust. It had a hosed starter that I swapped for a working one and was able to compression test at 148 each hole. I know the pictures aren't the greatest but if there is anything you can tell from them, input is appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

i got a whole blaster built everything, im putting the engine in my SN an will trade you wnat ever parts i dont need, if you want

 

[JetSkiDood]

Sounds good t-runner. You will need a different driveshaft, motor mounts and midshaft (depending on the year SN you have). Where are you located?

 

[JetSkiDood]

OK, New question.....Is the prop in the pic broken? It looks like the one I have for it but with the top broken off. Did early Skat props need a removal tool? Anyone have one or know where to get one? Otherwise, how do I get this off the shaft?????

Newer ones need the tool, greg has one. I think.
