I found even spinning the tube in the direction of the wire spiral helps but still tuff.

Spin in the directions of the spirals..
It took me 5 minutes yesterday to unscrew a tube so I could feed a SS switch harness thru..

PITA..

I'll try it again with windex. My issue is getting it to even catch. I have to put it at an angle then I try to pry the left over section with a flat head from below which just messes up the tubing. Nerve wracking !

Put a zip tie up each side to help it want to go through, slide . Both thick end down and in those will catch and help pull it through.

Even if they don't grab, you could use 4 one on each side so all those sections don't catch on the way through.

Heat the tubes up and spray with windex.

Well I said I would ride Saturday and so I did. Haven't had a chance to get the breather cables in yet but I only rode in a calm lake today. Still a couple things that need adjustment, steering cable isn't hitting steer stop bolt (need pic of what bolt you guys are using because it should have a chinpad bolt on top of it, and stock battery is too tall and is pushing against the exhaust hose. I don't want to give it a review until I have it all sorted out, but coming from a SJ with nothing but footholds and a rrp steering, WOWWWW!!!! First thing I noticed is the power and response is night and day from before. Ski does not ride nose high at all. Plenty of power to make this a very playful ski. Only thing I added was a girdled head, mod b pipe (ported), stock taper bored carbs, and a fcv, this thing rips! Don't see me needing anymore power for surf honestly. Full review coming soon. (Engine bay will be cleaned up don't worry)

You need an rrp

You need an rrp

Perfect thank you! What do you recommend for a smaller battery?

Deka ext9 has plenty of cranking power

I have no suppers or drains in the back, dual bilge on non stop every time I ride.

Need to snag a limited slip tank. Running deka also

 

[jeastes1]

I run a deka etx 9 in my superfreak, the odyssey is way better if you don't mind the weight! Especially if you ever sink your ski and have to crank the sh## out of it or leave your bilge on by accident.

Exactly. I ride all surf and would prefer to have a battery that can handle a lot more cranks if need be. Is the odyssey smaller than the current one at least?
