Anyone have pics of how they relocated battery box to run a sj tank? Or a different tank that works?

surprised they didnt just move the battery over instead of making a new tank mold...was thinking it would have to move more

yeah you have to move the tray slightly back and closer to the side of the ski to run the sj tank. other than that it fits great

I didn't realize they ran different tanks... Good to know, this seems like a good easy fix!

Paul, what is that plate bolted to the top of the cylinder head? Also any special tricks getting the b-pipe to fit? Unless you are lucky and have the FX-1 b-pipe!
It is just a b mod pipe. The bracket was for a dry pipe on a previous ski. I have since modified the front mounting lug so it is easier to get the tank in. I couldnt find a picture to show what I did . What I did was cut the lug off and epoxy in a lug as close to the hull as I could and I use a spacer the width of what I cut off. It makes it much easier to get the tank in and out. I will keep looking for a picture to post.

the mod chamber fits right in especially with a sj tank.

Are you referring to the 4 lugs that hold the battery tray? Sorry, just trying to understand!

Are you guys grinding the underside of the hood seal in front? Tank fits but it's super tight..cant get turf in between..dont want it to rub through tank..I am using turf for a tank pad..maybe can grind that down a little but looks like it's still going to rub
I have about a 1/4 inch clearance between the tank and the edge of the hull in front of the tank. I think the clearance depends on two things. How far you slide the fuel hose on the tank and on the filler neck as to where the final position of the tank sits in the hull. Here is a couple of pics of the gap I have and where it sits.

Do you have a link for the spacer? I was wondering what I was going to do to keep my tank from rubbing.....

You have to modify your hood tubes for this correct?

Is it just a cylindrical rubber threaded insert that screws into the first mount?
