batteries don`t like concret, and they like to be charged once month or more. for some reason i still end up buying one almost every year even when i do what the battery guy said to the t. wtf

I was propally the first one to break a Dales Pole
Im the reason there are gussets at the base of the pole

If yours has not been done send it back to Dale

The handholds adds about 2 pounds to the hood. Bobby said mine weighed 10lbs. I will check it with my scale. I almost knocked myself in the face the first time I picked it up :icon16:. Im used to dead lifting the stock hood so it will take some getting used to.

Did you weigh your ski yet?

Does anyone out there have the parts to convert a kawi to a yamaha steering cable through hull fitting? Wamiltons put a female threaded insert into the hull. The kawi steering cable also has a female nut on it. I need the piece that will join the through hull fitting and nut on the steering cable together. I think there is a tapered seal that goes in there too as well that I would need.

That is just a plumbing fitting. Better make a trip to Home Depot or Lowe's...

did you call wamiltons and ask them wtf?

I rode a Wamiltons light weight hull a couple years back.. it was lighter than my SJ... Not a fan of SXR's but it was light as hell especially when compared to a standard SXR...
