@River Rat. Thanks for asking for others Expediance, I see 3 so far have no issues yet, that's great
@badvinny and
@NVJAY775, thanks for the pictures you guys sent and or posted helps me much, and nvjay775 for the side start info
@skinnyman thanks for reply as well
My first incident was on deep water restart, I normally board from the rear with the b-pipe, start and ride away.
I boarded as normal but it injested water and fouled the spark but cranked ok. On subsiquent Try's finally locked with water.
After clearing the water I kept the engine running at all times while riding and never let go of the bars even when upside down in the water. No issue and finished the day. The wife was with me on shore incase I got stuck so loading went quick and was able to blow out exhaust while loaded on the boat ramp
Next ride I kept the engine running while in water and kept blowing the exhaust out while heading to shore to rest and parked ski quickly with noise up. No deep water reboarding, rested on shore and refilled fuel multiple times no issues.
When I left I let the ski float in the reads for a few minutes while I got my truck, loaded the ski and tried to blow out the exhaust and same thing, injested water. I suspect water was in the chamber and when I raised the nose of the ski onto the trailer in flowed into my cylinders, most in the rear cylinder.
The water line to Box is 3/8 and seems like a lot of water for such a small box so I added a 2.5 seat to the line to reduce the flow. On my next trip I camped and road without issue for 4 or 5 days, and added when I deep water board I start the engine first before I touch the ski then board via the rear and ride away, I can stop and rest in the middle of the lake if I restart this way. When parking ski I blow out the the water box repeatedly while almost at the shore, then restart the engine and blow out the exhaust while on the stand, same when loading on trailer except I restart it and leave the engine running.
Now I'am carrying with me plugs and a wrench in case I get stuck plus in the truck. jumper cables, battery and fuel start bottle so I can clear a flood on the spot.
This is too unreliable for me so I need to fix the issues.
I took another look at my set up, Ive also looked at the water line on the outside ski while its floating and translated that to the interior. Looked at pfp power box, xcreams tall box for the pfp. These two boxes I like because their is more distance between the inlet and outlet specially the Exceam but have been told these boxes are baffled not open like the RRP.
After these response today I looked again.
@badvinny your box looks mounted higher in the hull than mine while
@NVJAY775 is low mounted like mine.
If I had not deep water tray mounted I might have not known I had an issue.
A local shops competitor has the same issue as me and the shop said they mitigates it thru riding technique.
I don't like how small the box is but think raising it in my hull above the water line as much as possible would help I'am guessing.
This white ruler represents the top of my bond line and the water line is touching the bottom of the bond line while the ski floats in calm water. 70% of my exhaust tube exisiting the water box is below the water line. The water box is 60% below the water line and the stinger is 30% below the water line.
This I suspect allows water to be in the bottom of my pipe which is not an issue until the noise is raised and tray lowerd on an engine off deep water rear mount or raising the noise to trailer it.
In the surf I'd be screwed!
So the first plan is to raise the box and the stinger 2+ inches and re-test.
Personally Id rather have the Excream box for pfp modified for the RRP pipe
So for now the issue may be more on set up
