Fitting WF pole pad to XMW pole

[SJBrit]

Two questions:

1) How do you fit the Watercraft Factory pad to the XMW pole?

2) Is there anything about fitting a new pole that isn't a pain in the arse? :banghead:

gimmi a call 850-7911999
no time to type u need to get busy

 

[GUMP]

you going to have to do some cutting

 

[njfl]

On the XMW pole, you need to cut about 1/4" off the blunt-tipped "ears" that stick out and then drill and tap the newly-created flush surface. Mount two bolts through the pad and to these points, then drill and tap two holes at the top surface of the pole and mount here too.

 

[sflsurfrider]

yup, what joe said.

 

[SJBrit]

Ugh! Back to Lowes....

Gump - I'll give you a call if I get stuck, but I can see what I need to do now.

It's always good to have something to keep you busy right before Daytona....

 

[waterfreak]

yup, what joe said.

Ditto! You can give me a call too and I'll walk you threw it!:biggthumpup:

 

[waterfreak]

Here's a pic ...I hope it helps!

 

[waterfreak]

also, don't forget to drill and tap a couple bolts in the front of the chinpad to the handlepole

 

[SJBrit]

Here's a pic ...I hope it helps!

Well, I got the side holes drilled just like in your pic, but now the handlebars catch the underside of the pad.... I'll give you a call in the morning Steve.

Whats funnier is when I'm right over Adrian(Which doesnt happen often at all)

***After Installing his ADA head before smith lake 05***
Me - "Ummm....dont you need to put in those head bolts?"
Him - "Nah the Girdled studs and nuts hold it down."
Me- "Well theres still holes for them."
Him-"Nah Thats just incase you didnt get the girdle version"

..Gets to smith lake...Harrison asks him where his head bolts are:haha: Now drives back home to get them only to find out that i had locked his garage side door which he had no key....or a work garage door opener....

I cant remember how he got back in:haha:

AS much ******** as he gives me.....he deserves a little too:arms:

Nevermind - I figured it out. It's all good now. I stood on my ski in the garage for a while making braaap! noises while trying out the new pole. I like it already! Can't wait to get it on the water :woot:

And Jesse, while we're giving each other sh*t, can you explain why the balls are rusted up in all my ratchets meaning that the sockets fall off all the time? Can you? Huh? :sneaky: I'll buy you some tide tables this time for your beachside wrencing....

Counting swapping batteries as "wrenching" is like calling cutting toenails surgery

That was a complete accident....I wasnt use to the surfs....ummm...."unstable conditions":sneaky:

Have you tried soaking them in a degreaser? and then 3n1 oil? I thought some wd40 would have fixed it but if not let me know and we'll soak 'em. If they are really screwed you need to elt me know so i can buy you replacements

seems last year at daytona I remember you fiddling with your electrical box.....

if you are facing the water, your ski was to the right of the sidewalk...up on the seawall...there was room for only 2 boats there...yours, and someone elses (dont know who's it was).....







how can I remember this, but not what I had for breakfast and hour ago? :dunno:
