Install primer fittings where the choke use to be.

Primers are a big headache, I'm over them...there's better options imo.

Anders - i wouldn't drill holes to fit primer fittings. I think primers a $h!t. I take off both filters and block them to suck vacuum and fuel. While this may seem like trouble, i feel its the easiest way to get the ski primed, if it has been sitting for some time, instead of using a lot of battery power cranking (im running total loss ignition)
Other option is a redneck primer. With a syringe filled with gas and spray it in the filters or you can spray brake cleaner (this does not contain lubricant) or diesel start.

What do you do when you are in the middle of the lake and it will not fire or there was some water injestion?

I like the way you think!
Cover one flame arrestor with a towel, shop rag or a plastic Dixie/Solo cup if you can find the right size. Crank ski over for a few seconds. Remove cover, crank ski over and she should fire right up. If not then your jetting is wrong.
A well-jetted ski should fire up in the morning without a choke or primer, but some get stubborn with worn reeds or carb internals. Get her dialed in as best as you can and forget the primer.

Shouldn't we all be doing this regardless of the status of the ski?

True. In may case my lady would show up on her SN with a tow rope and tow me to shore. (happened far too many times in the past)
Soooo Primers and 48's (sorry about thread derail)?

Ive never had this issue.
Ive seen most primer plungers got bad after 2 years life anyway. You can always add something to "what would you do if" what if your bend grenades, what if you ignition coil craps out.
Hopefully most reasonable people never ride alone or if they do so, no further than they can swin to shore.
I really dont like the primers, thats my personal opinion, but i ride freestyle with a carbon no foam boat.

I take a plastic bag over the air filters (holding it tight) one at a time and crank it a bit then kicks right over same as pulling filters and priming by hand better than a primer

I'm pretty sure the boss you are talking about is a internal line, I had a friend drill into a boss and exactly that happened! Investigate it or just put a nipple where you are sure there's nothing.
