Custom/Hybrid Rickter FR2 Evo sink question

[Crab]

whats the best way to cap the scupper?

I do mine on the inside, so it can be removed for flatwater.

ok, i've temporarily suffed a horsehoe orange life vest in the back by the scupper but i agree with the scupper problem. i tried to put a raquetball in but its too small. whats the easiest way to plug the scupper. i was on the ramp the other day, launched the ski and came back and bilge was going for five minutes trying to keep up with the crap scupper. so that is definately getting plugged, just need the right size plug or ball. any experience with this?

Go to the plumbing dept of any hardware store ask for a dollar plug Its rubber with a wing nut so it expands they come in 1.5 and 2.0

I Replace the botomscrew on the scupper with a longer one, behind that place a washer with a flat ground on it and a nut use that as a cam latch to hold the scupper closed while riding , works great and allows you to open the scupper at the end of the day to wash out the engine compartment. Its easyer to do than to discribe

Don't blocking off the rear add extra weight to that one side? Just curious trying to finger out what to do with this thing.

 

[MattSmith]

How bout stuffing a pool noodle down there w the hole down the middle? Does two things provides a lot of extra floatation plus takes up most of the volume to keep out the water

 

[WILKEY]

Your a pretty smart fella.

Just curious,.....if you re-turfed and that isn't RRP turf, how did you get the white "R" in the turf?!! Does Hydro-Turf sell an RRP kit for the new Rickters?

Those are fairly easy to make yourself.

If you're worried about weight, why'd you buy a Rickter? :lmao:

The pool noodle should take care of it. Or just foam the entire tube prior to sealing it off.

My turf is the new stock evo turf. Better than before but still slippery.

^ ur gonna have to get a better shot tomorrow

Another option. Still has the ability for the hull to drain while riding, but will stop you from immediately swamping the ski if it goes upsidedown. Remove scupper flapp. Cut an aluminum plate to match the scupper hole. Drill a hole in the plate for versi plug, and mount versi plug to plate. Screw plate with versi plug into where scupper flap was.
