Best way to install a ride plate?

I have a '97 sj

Yeah you don't use the middle ones then. That's a Squarenose plate.

You had to reem the holes bigger to fit the RN bolts?

 

[Shayne Dugan]

Nope I didn't ream them any bigger, I just had to drill out the holes closer to the nozzle because they weren't there.

If you install a plate, and then Caulk the seams. It messes up the handling of your ski. I did it a long time ago. Went to the beach. Did not go 200 yds and pulled to the shore. Took a screwdriver and scraped all of it off. She handled just fine afterwards.

On an sj or a kawi?
