Other Whats broke on your ski that you're putting off fixing?

In comparison to this thread: Okay so what in the heck did ya have to fix on your ski today?

I'll start with just my SNSJ, I ride it in this state.
Wonderful stump induced dent/crack in rideplate
Slopmonster stock pole that is waterlogged
Bilge pump which is not glued down
Replace grips with ones that don't slide off
Minorly busted up nose being held together by the bumper
Poorly repaired crack under the starboard rub rail just in-front of the engine
Weak battery that barely starts the engine (everstart, who knew?)

I need to find an engineering job so I can have spare money to fix these.

I have a never ending bog that I haven't been able to solve all season.
Just dropped ski off at fairy pricey shop to diagnose and repair. Gonna put a hurt on my pocketbook but if I can actually ride a working ski this year it would be great.

Oh and its waterlogged around the exhaust hose the previous builder installed. Defoam this winter.

I stripped the Allen head for the locking nut on the steering and it's stuck loose so every 5 min I have to quarter crank it by hand to have no slop.
I have only 2 bolts holding my ride plate on. 1 front left one rear right.
My 2 back bolts holding the cage of the adjustable foot hold fell off, its loose and usually makes the hold itself lay flat on the turf. I don't use it anymore anyways.
I never drilled a hole for my on off switch it's zip tied to my exhaust hose. But I just run reserve all the time anyway and having the least amount of holes in the dash is a plus...
I only have one bolt on my coupler cover and 1 nut holding my ebox on...
One breather tube on my pole bracket won't stay in the pole so I just ducktaped it closed.
For a min there I'd been running no chinpad to keep up with Lucas and the superfreak crew but just got a new one lol.

If it goes, I just ride it.

Cracked hood and no chinpad. I noticed this really convenient place to mount my o bolt for clipping my limiting rope to my pole. The next time I rode I noticed my chinpad was loose. Guess what that convenient hole was for. Missing bolt. Now I have to re-engineer my limiting rope attachment. Easier to just ride with no chinpad. It is a pre-superfreak hull so it just seems right.

You are such a hack. I'm bringing some hardware with your name on it to Grayland.
 
My blaster's S/S switch has a short in it that you can jiggle to get to work sometimes. Been meaning to rebuild it but IT'S SOO DANG HOT OUTSIDE!!! 104 yesterday and another record breaker for today.
 
poorly fixed nose on the squarenose, sloptastic bushings on the mmf pole, start button occasionally does not work, you have to bang on it with a screwdriver.
 
my fire extinguisher strap broke on my SN so its just tied on with a rope, the nut on backside of my primer fell off so when you pull on it just comes out of the hole that was drilled for it. got some turf ripped as well.

just replaced the steering cable so I am good and functional.

I need to re-enforce my shortened OEM pole and probably de-foam. New footholds would be nice.

The steering cable, its not completely broken, just the outer casing is coming unwound, I am stress testing it to see how long it will actually go like that, really I am just too lazy to go put the new cable on but stress testing sounds so much cooler ! :crazy:
 
blown o ring in the head on my SJ, clogged cooling lines in a 550, and bent bars on a b1. its been storming almost daily all week so i haven't had to itch to ride as much.
