Little bit of progress made today. I was waiting on some random stuff to get going but all that waiting should be over.
Got the pump shoe installed...this was a first for me.
Got the pole bracket installed....taking a hole saw to a new hull really wasnt as stressful as I thought it would be haha.
And got all my push-connect fittings installed on the pump. I was hesitant to use these at first, but they really are super easy to use and will make life pretty easy.
Everything else should happen a lot faster, and possibly on the water this weekend.

Thank you! It will hopefully be on the water in a couple days. We are building a Phantom at the same time, so both builds need attention.

The pole bracket I am using is an RRP copy made by Trendsetterz. I really wanted to use the WDK bracket because it is brand new and anno'd black and just looks sexy, but I love the ease of routing cables with twin tube poles.

Is the area under the tray on the skis not sealed? Or are the versi-plugs tubed through to the engine bay?

Correct, not sealed. If you look at the first page, there is a picture of the "bulk head." It is pretty much wide open all the way back on both sides of the ski.

Yes, it was about 70lbs wrapped and padded, and turfed with pole bracket, hood pin setup, hood latch, pump shoe and ride plate, and that was measured on a crappy bathroom scale with me holding it.
Jeff told me is was around 50lbs bare.

Pump is in, and pole is on...but it still needs to be shortened a good bit im thinking.
