No secret.
It was in my build thread.
Seals I'm using Timken 100115977. Size 20x52x7. They are double lip seals with a spring on one lip. I can't find the number for the bearing but it was similar to one found in McMaster-Carr. #5972K56. Its double sealed and can spin up to 9000 rpm.
Bearings have the same slip fit on the driveshaft as the stock kawi, and same press fit in the yam housing as stock yam bearings.
Only problem is neither is stainless. I just looked at the spring on the seal and it is rusting. Bearings still seem fine.
I've only put about 20 hours on this setup 4 hours of which in the salt.

I missed this bofore somehow.
Awsome project! I love it
I had the site bookmarked that showed the visser pole support setup. You gonna weld up an alum support for the pole similar to that?

Crap, link is dead now. It was: http://www.jetsport.de/gallery_africa.htm
http://www.jetsport.de/index.html works, but the old pics of that ski are gone.
It was welded to the bottom of an alum pole and strapped down.
hopefully before the auggie ride.i had to order a bunch of parts this week and bought most of the paint last week so now im tapped.
shes in primer!
i have hok candy purple for the bottom and the pole.i was planning to do the topdeck and hood white..but i just stumbled on some black leftover from the "rusty" build that would prolly look great with the sweet tart purple.
option three is silver as its the basecoat for the candy purple so i already have that too
now im totally confused:banghead:
