HELP! My fountain hurts.

[Chica68]

Okay, on my 650 I had no prob. doing a fountain/zigzagging,,,

But OMG/OUCH:crying: its been 2.5 summers now on my SJ and the handle bars still bang the s@#t out my upper legs. I've read some of the older posts about sinking the nose deeper before throttling it, but still same painfull result.

Any more suggestions?

i drop my legs and let that pull the nose down steady. i also slip back at the pole base. it works for me, but every way is a little different. good luck!!

do you need aftermarket bilge pump(s) to do that? without sinking your ski?

 

[Chica68]

humm... thanks,, i will try it. I also just thought of this; What if I put my ankles togather at/under the nose so as help keep the ski from jetting down beween my legs!!??
(i know that sounds kinky/weird). I will just try it this weekend and see what happens.

I bent two rods on mine doing a fountain NEVERMORE!

I can do a full lap of my lake (not that large) doing a fountain.

Just keep an eye on the air intakes on the hood, once they start to spend more time below water than above, it's time to ride out and let the scupper work.

It sucks that I'm so good at such a lame trick.

that is funny never heard that concept worded like that lol

 

[Boris]

And what sucks more is that I'm so lame at the good tricks.

if I do a fountain I only go for about 5 seconds... I have a good aftermarket hood and a good hoodseal.... never have problems... never even run the bilge afterwards... scupper sucks it out in seconds... actually I have only run my bilge 2 times in the last 20+ times I have been to the lake since I put in the scupper...

 

[Chica68]

My :lame::lame:est trick,, i love,, i think it would be better in a cape!

Havn't sunk it yet, and couldn't do that without the one way for sure......:thinking:

nice!! way to go crab. i swamped mine doing 360 fountains for a minute or 2. and everything on my ski leeks lol so i wasn't surprised really

I cut my fountains down to about 5 seconds also, maybe less and I always have alot of water in the hull afterwards. Maybe a hood mod is in order. Although I only recently installed my bilge, it seems 20-30 seconds of bilge time is needed with an 800GPH to empty it.
