So I finally put the ski in the water today. This ski is going to be a blast. Only problem is the scupper... Leaks bad!!! I brought it home and filled up the hull on the inside while holding the flapper close by hand. Water was coming what seemed like from everywhere around the scupper. Is there a trick to getting these seal?
Mine has leaked from day 1.l have taken it out,flipped the gasket around and even heated up the rubber to bend inwards.That actually worked good.To date l still have a leak.But if you look at my avatar,you will also see my hull leans towards the exhaust side.So what is happening is the lean is causing the scupper flap to stay open just a little bit,allowing water to trickle slowly in the hull.Tried an Epic,which would have worked,but because it sticks about a 1/4" out,then it won't open.But the magnet would have been a great idea.
The only l can think of now is getting rid of the lean to the one side.Which will require getting a new light weight battery.l just don't need to spend $200 bucks for it right now.
l'm running a worx's 201 and it feels good under the ski.Also,did you have a problem when you tightened the ride plate down,that it bowed in the middle? Or has any rocket owner had this this problem?
