I'm defiantly going to do heel locks , prob wrap some under padding around back lip and turf if there's enough to turf to but not sure there is. I believe ktm did his that way

I did 1 roll turf,1" underpad in tray. 18 mm in footholds. First ride was last weekend. These things are so much fun. I need to figure out a waterleak under the tray.

Block the surf plugs up and stick a hose pipe in the engine bay, will soon see where the waters coming from.

I dont think the leak is coming from the tray , did you put some sealant on your jet pump mount?

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Stick a screw driver in your inserts c how far it goes back

I need to note that this ski WAS NOT completed by tiger craft. It was sold in a few pieces.

should probably note that it is also a V1 kit........V2 addressed any issues we had on the V1.

V2FR on the horizon? hmmmmmmmm

Where at in Washington are you located?

Correct. It's a V1 purchased from as kit not directly from tigercraft. I used loc tite on pump and grate bolts. Should I have used other sealent? Also is it possible to get a short ride plate in black from tigercraft?

Here's a few of mine....Zimmy hooked up the turf job.

Yeah use silicone on pump bolts, even on a stock rn hull your suppose to use sealant on pump bolts, insert has hole in top

i had tony build mine with an inch off the inside of both gunwhales for this exact reason. wanted to be closer to the tray or my old sj.




As for the water intrusion. you would be surprised where water comes in from. your inserts might not be leaking. ive seen it get in thru the screws used to hold the pump shoe in. make sure to put sealant on anything going into the tray.

Are there any pictures of trays with the adjustable footholds?

Succesful maiden voyage. 61X , ADA 185 compresion , factory pipe with limited chamber , aluminum flywheel , Fabuthis Waterbox , 144 stock pump with solas J impeller , thrust trim , Arora Pole , Worx intake grate.

Build went pretty smooth. Pump shoe went in without any surprises. Pumps two front feet sat flat and with a little shimming of the four pump shoe screws it was easy to center the driveshaft inbetween the three midshaft mounting bolt holes on the bulkhead in the engine bay. The measurement was 2 1/16th from driveshaft to edge of bolthole on all three. Once I figured out the shimms needed to hold it in that spot just pull it appart , glue it up and reinstal. I used a fast set SEM epoxy. Taped of the hull. Clean and easy instal. Then the aluminum pump ring makes reinstals a snap. Motor slid into place easily with no elongating of any holes. One thick yami motor washer under each front motor mount was all thats needed.

Every hole/mounting point in the hull needed to be tapped ,which is no big deal to me and took short time. I could have gotten every screw in the holes but the screws went in much better by first running a tap. Also I suggest to be carefull when bolting anything into the hull. These inserts maybe a little more shallow than stockers so you could bottom out the bolt before its truely tight and strip it out. A couple washers here and there and everything went into place and lined up perfectly. Only thing I had to elongate holes on was the intake grate.
