sweet.
shoot........ if it's all in now why not just pull one bolt at a time ,
a few drops of loctite , torque and be done.:headbang:
don't risk going out and having a short day with a bolt backing out and something breaking.:bigok: you know your luck
get it all done right and enjoy the rest of the season trouble free

you need flexibility in that spot according to FP. I asked about using another type of coupler and they said that coupler provides a flexing point and any stiffer material would cause problems...

the person at FP said it needed to be flexible at that point under operation. I am not sure of his motives, it may have been to sell more couplers... not sure
Because the engine vibrates/moves around a lot and the waterbox doesn't as much, so you need something to allow for movement. The headpipe/chamber coupler and stinger/waterbox hose do that.

Are you talking about using the Yamaha pump? I know others are using the yamaha based motors with the Kawi pumps. Using the Kawi pump eliminates the need to shim the pump is what I am understanding.
Did you get your pump all lined up as best you could? The drive shaft needs to be centered in the hole inside your hull. I have found this to be very difficult to get done in my Rev ski's.

Yea the lack of locater pins makes it feel odd but mine lined up perfectly with the shims Jeff said to use.
Smurf made me perfect .125 shims from bar stock with a hole drilled to match my bolts.
This whole ski pretty much went right together but I moved like a snail and quadruple checked everything twice and still made a couple minor mistakes.
