I appreciate the offer. I am going to wait until Blowsion gets more clear back in stock for this ski.

Nice find, the Octane is such a fun ski even with though it has the turning characteristics of a sheet of plywood. If you're not going to use the OEM finger throttle assembly, I have someone interested in it. Let me know, thanks!

[mention]IceRocket1286 [/mention] I’m hanging on to it. I may have to use it if Blowsion doesn’t get stock back in. I got one of the newer Blowsion throttles on my RN and its amazing. I gotta have it for the Octane.

I put their new single finger throttle on my '24 SJ and love it. I'm sure they'll be back in stock soon. Give Scott at Blowsion an email, he's been great to work with and has kept me updated on other out of stock items I've needed. I've been able to place orders on out of stock items and he ships when they receive them.

I think they really just threw these skis together…the ride plate screws aren’t even counter sunk into the ride plate

Pjs also makes a nice finger throttle that looks similar to the blowsion "pro" throttle you're looking for. I replaced my blue blowsion throttle with a pjs throttle. It's very comfortable. The older blowsion model is fine if you have big hands otherwise the reach can be a bit much.

I went from PJS to the new Blowsion. The new Blowsion is pretty dang slick.
The PJS almost felt like 1.5 finger for me and the new Blowsion is a solid one finger. I am going to throw the PJS on the WB2 so it won’t go to waste.

I took her out to Parker yesterday and wow shes a ripper. Rode her around to do a shakedown and shes running great. This ski is FAST and fun.

I did have an issue when the bilge pump kicked on even though I haven’t fallen or tipped her over. So I take a look and one of the 2 cooling hoses came off the inlet pipe coming from the jet pump. The hose doesn’t have good grip on the stainless pipe and can just be pulled off even with a tight clamp. I noticed the pipe is smooth without any flare doesn’t keep the hose from slipping off. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I should remedy this?

The sad part is someone probably does just not me. Check with Wamiltons and see if they have one laying around.

Try using an appropriately sized Otiker clamp on that hose , or see if you can find a slightly smaller hose that has to be forced onto the pipe even if you have to heat up the end up to get it on , using the Otiker clamp assumes that there is room to get the Otiker tool in there to tighten the clamp , they hold a lot tighter than regular hose clamps.

You can also take small Jewlers crimping pliers - insert into cooling hard line and make a couple dimples on the tube. It'll help the hoses from slipping off

If it's like the sitdowns that is correct , they use a voltage sensing relay #LR23 to turn it on and off , it picks up voltage off the lighting coil
