Turfed my ski tonight, tomorrow I have to do the left side rail, its almost bedtime now haha.

 

[h2odesperado]

looks real clean... I really like the silver Yamaha on it, looks sweet. Did you make rail extensions?

 

[casanova992]

Luke, your ski looks GREAT!!! Expect a PM from me, when I start turfing my rails...

 

[IceRocket1286]

Nope, no rail extensions.

Turfing the rails was easy. I just cut 2 strips of turf about 3 or 3 1/2" wide, made the edgs flush on top, and wrapped it under. there is a little bit of extra that needs to be trimmed, which is how I planned it. I only made 1 cut, and that was at the back to wrap the turf 90 degrees.

and wrapped it under.

If you leave it wrapped under it will more than likely come undone. Most peeps cut it at a 45 degree angle and then glue the edges. There are lots of threads concerning this on "that other site." :biggrin:

 

[IceRocket1286]

Oh yeah, I kow that lol. I was just leaving the extra on there So I CAN cut it at a 45 degree angle, making it fit perfect

Cool---just making sure you were gonna' do it right.

If you were going to insist that you leave it wrapped, I was going to suggest something to hold it in place:

You know, RIVETS. :biggrin:

Sweet dude! Kind of ironic, my Dad just gave me the go-ahead to order some WCF footholds and hydroturf tonight. How many sheets did it take you to do all of that? I was planning on getting two Polaris B sheets...

 

[IceRocket1286]

it took me less than one sheet to do it all. I did my rails, tray, dash, and sides. I still have a little bit extra...

 

[2nd nature]

is this the dark grey turf or black?

 

[IceRocket1286]

its the black turf

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

Looks good :Banane09: It will look better on the water.

Cut my hood last night and installed my breather hoses. I just used the 2 stock hoses and cut them to fit, one sits above the gas tank and the other one angles down between the battery and flywheel cover/gas tank. I used 3m's 5200 to keep'em in

Also, the mounting brackets on my pipe were a little bit botched and cut/slotted and did not line up very well. I had my little brother tig weld some aluminum tabs onto the existing brackets and I drilled new holes in line with my rubber dampers.

The rubber dampers riva sent me are the only ones they offer for that pipe, so instead of complaining that they are 2 short, I grabbed some coupling nuts and drilled the threads out and they act as spacers. The rubber will still take the impact enough to do its job.

Only thing left is to install my pump but ive been waiting 1.5 months for a STUPID bracket for my trim thats on backorder from pro tec. It was at first a 2 week wait, now its 6? screw that, anodize the da mn things and send them out!

Then all I need to do is put those brackets on and get some new plugs and im ready to rock and roll!

What spark plugs should I use? I know newer 701s have b7es I believe, is that what I should use? Also, what is the gas/oil ratio to use on this ski?
