SXR More newb upgrades on the SXR...

[Matt in Houston]

I'm running the stock prop on mine. Works really good with my sxr setup. I have Wetpipe, TBM flywheel, and Flow Value in my sxr. It's a great setup for fun riding and chasing bigger boat. Huge difference in performance from stocker.



I'm running single cooling with flow valve. It does great job limiting the amount of water going into the waterbox. Hardly any water come out the exhaust outlet when I'm flushing water out on the trailer. Also, the sxr has two bypass lines one goes to the front and other to the pump. I just blocked the one to the pump and have it to go out the front. It looks like I'm running dual cooling because of two pissers in the front of my sxr. That way so you can know the water is flowing good by seeing the water coming out the pissers in the front of you.

This sounds great. I will probably do these upgrades all at once later this year. I think for a back-up ski she will rip! I just wish there was a better way to utilize the flow control valve on a stock setup until I get the wetpipe.

Here a picture of my setup. I almost nailed a barrel roll off boat waves with this setup. (Steering plate smacked me in the forehead, six stitches) It shows me how many power it can produce to get the fat hull moving.

If you can afford a pipe it really wakes up the ski, there is no way around it...a pipe is a must. Aluminum flywheels are also a great investment. Stock sxr props are great, also mill the stock head for 185 pounds of compression, those three mods will make you boat rip

my mistake. i was talking about this one that is near the pump and looks like it goes to the engine.

That extra tube is a pisser. The factory line that comes out of the top of the stock chamber goes overboard there. That tube is commonly used to feed the second cooling line for dual cooling. You just have to make sure to install an extra pisser and hook the existing hose from the top of the chamber to it.

There are many variations of dual cooling, all depending on your individual setup. Flow control valves can help, but in most applications the effect is minimal to useless at best. The safest bet with dual cooling for all practical purposes is to have one line feeding the motor, and one line feeding the exhaust, especially if you're running a dry pipe or wet pipe.

Hope that helps you out.
