I finished my turf this morning. I am still waiting for my flywheel so I am going to get things ready for when it shows up this week. It kinda winter weather here again.

good looking turf - what foot holds are those?

 

[D-Roc]

Yeah it works pretty good too. It handled better last year and I am not sure if it was the sponsons or not. I didn't think I changed the back section that much but maybe I did. There are a few things that could make the difference. I guess that's the problem with doing a bunch of changes over the winter. You don't know what is effecting what until you get some ride time on it and dial it in. Can't wait for some more nice weather to go and ride this beast.

Hot dog I am back in business. Guess whose riding water scooters this long weekend? I will give you a hint. He is 6 years old and nicknamed dickrok.

 

[D-Roc]

Well I lied. I did not ride because my spare bendix was a dud. Lol. I got two new ones on the way so in the mean while I made a fixed trim adjuster to set my trim to a few degrees positive like it should be. I also am working on making a longer ride plate that is a semi flow guard.

Instead of riding I used my phone to shoot a video on Scott and Cook. Actually it's just a movie preview of an epic film. Lol

Hey who you calling a bs'er? Lol

I had some questions to why my ski was so loose feeling this year and nose high. I though about down trimming to set the nose down but discover it already was and that may have been why the rear of the ski is so loose. I made a little something something to set positive trim and then made a ride plate to keep the nose down. All this talk of flow guards got me thinking. This is what happened.

I dropped off my powerbombs for an ultrasonic cleaning bath to remove any build up over the years. The are nice and clean now.

New ride plate looks spot on bud.

 

[mjkammes]

looks good man just started my 96 waterlogged build foam sucks

 

[D-Roc]

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get it back in the water for more tuning.

 

[D-Roc]

I love coming home after 16 hr day to see Jetski parts!!! Yeah thanks Doug.

 

[D-Roc]

Got the ski running after work today so I am hitting the water tommorrow afternoon.

 

[D-Roc]

Hmmm I am beyond happy so far. The positive trim is much better for turning. Possibly a bit too much so I will adj it before my next ride. My ski is a lot different and is running faster. I have no clue how much different the new ride plate is making but it did not hurt anything that's for sure. I can catch a lot more height of a setup wake and I haven't even hit one real hard yet because the skis timing and speed are much different. I love having to learn to ride ski again. It's a fun ski to rip on.

 

[ang4th2]

not sure if you can call that thing under your pump a ride plate .. looks like a curled potatoe chip

 

[D-Roc]

Don't hate on the plate. it's not the worse mod I've tried. Lol
