It's a lot more fun that way! Finally getting comfy to start trying new things. It's tough riding out of one footer 180s though.

I did it! I bought a thrust trim setup and it's on it's way here.
I have some things that I'm going to do once the ice covers the lakes. Hopefully ride 2 or 3 more times before it freezes.
My plan:
Solas mag with stubby cone
Possibly modded RRP intake grate to fit the rip(Depends on what I get a mag pump for)
A chin pad!!
3 gal jaz tank with tank pod
Paint motor a nice deep red
Clean up cable routing
Shorten battery cables and incorporate a battery charger/jumper hookup
Switch to red cooling and fuel line(line is cheap, not worried about it getting hard or anything)
The best part? I'm going to switch to RED pool noodles!!!

This is day 45...
Guys, quick question. I'm riding in sub freezing temps tomorrow. Immediately afterward, I know I need to flush with antifreeze. Lemme know if this is the best way:
Run ski to get most of water out. Pull off cooling line on head, attach some hose with a funnel, and funnel it into the cylinder jacket. Then, funnel it into the headpipe, then funnel it into the stinger. Then loosen flow control valve, and idle/slowly Rev it through the system? Or am I over complicating this?

Observe young Grasshopper, @rubbertoe is the "No Footed" master!
Gotta get him a set of superflip bars so he actually looks like he knows what he's doing!!
I don't know anything about this but the way you have it listed you'll have no flow. Either the pump has to be in water or pissers hooker to a garden hose to get flow. Either way I'd think the water would flush the coolant right back out and you'll be right where you started again.
At Pismo I flushed my ski on the beach with a 5 gallon bucket and hose hooked to a biliage pump that I put in the bucket. If you did this as well but put a 50/50 mix in bucket instead of water you could replace all the water in your engine with 50/50 coolant mix
You could also attach some fittings to the buckets side at the bottom and hook hosees from there to your cylinder head or where ever you decide is best. With the bucket held above the ski the weight of the 50/50
Mix will push coolant thru your system.
Now that I've thought about this maybe the way you propose to do it might work too. You'll have no flow but could still possibly get A mix going. Poor 100% coolant into head to mix with the water already stuck in the jacket and then the same to the head pipe without filling so much it backs up into the cylinders.
Thanks for the response! My theory is that if I fill the areas with antifreeze, and I start the ski, won't the cooling lines have enough pressure to slightly move the antifreeze through it? Or will that not do a thing since the pump isn't hooked up. Otherwise, funneling in antifreeze and then blowing into the hose would endup moving the antifreeze through the system I'd think..

Pour antifreeze in the top of your head/cooling lines and see what happens. It's just gonna drain out the pump onto the ground.
There's no pressure in the cooling lines unless your pump is completely submerged and the prop is spinning..

Use an air compressor and blow the water out.

I'd blow the whole system out by running it out of the water like you'd normally do at the end of a ride. Shut engine off and fill antifreeze from the highest point. You'll prolly start to see it backflow out of the pump. If you're worried about the water box you can pore a little in at the stinger fitting. Reconnect all the cooling lines and fire it for a few seconds

Bars to chest Rosie.. Bars to chest...
That's not a good pic of form, I had some way better ones today! Also got a 180 hop pretty much all the way around today too. Pics coming soon

Looking back I definitely don't have the bars to my chest but I'm definitely yanking on them
