My surf plugs also leak, it's like the ball is getting wedged in the opening and sticking open. Was thinking about changing for a scupper.

Yea , even while i hold it shut . I think where the ball sits is not machined right

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

That's crappy

I don't think 701 Ind. tests their products before releasing to the public

I use Versi plugs with duckbills on the end.
My reason is, in the event the ball gets held open by debris, a properly kept duckbill will still be sealed closed, stopping water from coming in.
Now, if ya balls are dirty and yer flap is open, you're screwed.

Leak test it today (leaking from the 701ind surf plug

Jeez, these scuppers seem like they do more harm than good..

Watch out for that stray ziptie making its way through the duckbill. Its a rare situation though.

The screw in scuppers from pwcdoctor work good.

Those of you running the xmetal pole what length are y'all running? Comp or the standard -2 to -5?

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Krawler98 is running a comp pole hes 6' or taller.

Yeah..that just seems short..like you'd be hunched over all the time?

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Ive got some measurements that one of the v1 bot owners gave me. From pivot point on hp bracket to end of hood and to the dash

[paczowski123]

I'm a bit shorter than 6' I think the standard may be best for me..anyone know what the length on the standard all the way shortened is? Because the comp length is 31" correct?

Get the regular one. Krawler is either too embarrassed to admit it or for some strange reason he likes it. I don't know how short his tailplate is either, should be real short with that pole

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

I can't find it now. But was told. Comp pole is like 27.5 to 28" from pivot point to center of bars with xscream steering. Pretty sure that's what the measurement was

Mine is currently adjusted to 36.5" pivot to pivot and I have 75mm riser bars rolled back slightly. Most people that try it love the ergonomics of my tray and pole/bar setup

That looks just right. Looks about where my hp was on my rn when I had it shortened.

It takes a lot to embarrass me haha. I run flat water chasing boats mostly so with the comp pole and the tail plate cut almost flush the length feels good for me. I could see myself running a longer pole if I rode surf more though. Different strokes ;-)
