Riva Waterbox?

[Fishman543]

Anyone ever seen one of these before? Riva stamped waterbox, just picked up the ski and was surprised to see it.

Quite common back in the day, I’ve not run one personally but have seen quite a few.
Good find!

Yep, No performance gain, it's pretty much an aluminum oem copy that won't blow up.

Good to know! I've blown an oem one before, not fun.

I have one I purchased from a member here about a year ago, but doesn't have the Riva nameplate. Been happy with it so far but yeah, just a clone of the OEM pretty much.

I have learned that Triton also made a waterbox that looks the same as the Riva.

Mark, is this the same Triton that makes aluminum jet ski trailers by any chance?

I don't think so. The trailers are made in Wisconsin. This Triton made some parts in the 90's and by the sticker on the water box were in Boulder Co. I have one of thier heads on my fx1. (I have a triton trailer as well)

Thanks for the information, Mark. So they did lots of different aftermarket performance parts. I haven't heard of them before this.

Here's thier magazine ad from 1995.

A lot of those A/M boxes have the outlet tube further from the bottom than stock. They may flow better when dry but they never suck all the water out.
