Any way to add floatation to Foot rocket?

[naturalmystic]

My Foot Rocket Pro, sank like a rock the other day. How can I fix this problem? Thanks

Block the scupper if you’re not subbing under water all the time make sure the hood is tight to the hull so water can’t come in there. Add electric bilge pumps if you don’t have any. Also the tubes that go through the poll bracket are too small so you should seal that area also . I have a Yamaha powered Foot Rocket also and I had to address these issues.

l would look at the hood seal, it is suspect on a Krash. Get an aftermarket hood seal and install it on ( not sure on the later krash hulls) whichever side there isn’t one. Agree on the scupper as Brad said

...ADD floatation??? Sounds like you need one of these.

I fill my engine bay with pool noodles. It's ugly but might buy you enough time to release a throw rope.

Any ski you don't want to end up in Davy Jones locker needs a retriever locator buoy. Kind of a pain in the ass to mount it but when it goes down, at least you can get it back. I sunk and lost a 30k superfreak in the Sacramento River and luckily I had a retriever on a tigercraft fv pro that TNT pulled up out of 42ft of water.

Can that pup backflip? He MIGHT have a weight advantage over the Japanese riders....maybe.
