That's what I'm hoping,with dual bilges and this, I shouldn't have to worry as much about taking on water

did you add tubes to your hood man(paczowski) its going to take on alot of water as is in those photos

Don't have tubes as of now, gonna try it first and if need be I'll add them...couldn't be half as bad as stock though...will have to be submerged just right to allow water to travel up the liner all the way to the front...

You definitely need tubes dude! Going to rain water right on your carbuerator/s with those holes open like that.
When you put the tubes in, make them go as low as you possibly can to the bottom of the hull without restricting airflow.

Yeah, I figured I might, but being as I run the factory FA I thought I might not need em..if I take on too much water for my liking I'll throw some in there

Even with the factory flame arrestor you need the tubes. They do more than just go to the bottom of the hull. You insert them into the hood liner so they stick up about an inch or two. This creates a dam so the water can't go down the tube. Instead it drains back out of the rear of the hood where your vent/drain holes are when the ski tilts backwards.

I see! Maybe I'll run to HD and pick up some tubing then, shouldn't take too long to glue in there!
Here's some photos of mine being done, just picked it up from paint today
Stock liner our and cardboard laid in covered in "press n seal" for easy removal
Glass laid in
Liner glassed in, painted, and vent holes drilled
Rear vent holes drilled
All top and from holes sealed, filled and sanded
Done!
Wow, I'm definitely going to be using that press n seal technique with my hoodliner when I do it! Definitely will make it easier..

Duct tape is great poor mans mold release as well.
This is true, but press n seal looks even easier.

One thing about it, was it did stick in some places. Since it was on the bottom side inside the roof of the liner, I left it cause it won't be seen...I just used it cause it was around the house lol...

Yeah, for the most part...but i dunno if I'd recommend it...just because it didn't work like I thought it would lol...wax paper may work better?? Or as most say duct tape, I just didn't have any the night I was doing it and I was impatient haha
Hmm okay. The press n seal just looked nice since you could have it overlap on the side easy too.
I just used wax paper for making flat panels for my tray & gunwales, and it worked pretty much flawlessly! I had multiple pieces of wax paper taped together, and the wax paper almost came off in one piece. In the spots that it ripped, you could still peel it off of the glass.

Yeah, I just knew the press n seal would stick to the sides of the hood and cardboard to hold it down while I laid the glass in...and since the back side of the liner was not seen it didn't bother me too much...

Yeah, it lifted right off the cardboard in one piece, just not so much from the glass...lol..if you zoom in on the pics of my hood breather holes you can see some of in in the right hole
Ohh okay! yeah I see. I'm probably going to use the wax paper and/or ductape method for this one.Yeah, it lifted right off the cardboard in one piece, just not so much from the glass...lol..if you zoom in on the pics of my hood breather holes you can see some of in in the right hole
