Priceless info!! I probably would have over looked the length of the cables untill install in same situation. Thanks for sharing!
"And the limited slip tank also fits perfectly, although I will be changing it out for a kart tank. I have never run through 5 gallons all at one time."
Let me know when you want to sell the tank
Cool.Will do Denny. It'll be sooner than later. I just want to get on the water, then I will be ordering a kart tank.
Got the cables routed in their final place. I integrated some cable clamps into two of the gas tank strap hooks and where the cables crossed under the midshaft, they were a little raised up and I didnt like how close they were to the coupler so I GFlexed a nut to the hull, and used two other cable clamps to be able to mount to one mount. I would have used another mini UFO mount, but I was out of them. It seemed to work out really will, and all the cables operate as smooth as normal. I gave myself a high five for that I wrapped the steering cable in turf right behind the motor mount but it isnt pictured.
And then I spent like 25-30 minutes trying to get the dang hard line hose into the rear push to connect fittings all the way in the back hull and made a little tool out of a clothes hanger to help guide the line into place anddddd well........
Let this be a lesson for you guys...this hard line doesnt go into versi plugs very easily hahahahaha. I bent over a little farther in the hull, and realized the push connect fittings for the cooling line were much more accessible.
Is this ski you building up going to be only ridden on flat water as a full on freestyle ski ?
Matt,take used pieces of old water lines and split them lengthwise.Then wrap them around "wear areas" on the cables.Zip tie the ends.Works great for chaffing
Did you fire it up yet?
