I had a chance to buy an SC a couple of years ago for $800, but passed on it. I'm kicking myself now...

I've been eyeing this Jet Mate for years. It's been in storage at the mobile home park...

Yes, it has a joystick for steering and a trigger throttle. The stick folds down in case you go flying 'over the bars', also useful for when you put a cover on it. The seat also folds flat.

This...

NEW BOAT!

Well, new to me. It hasn't been run since 2008. It still has 'fuel' in it, smells like turpentine and will likely be a mess to clean out. It has a few little dings in the gelcoat, as...

Is that waterproof?

Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

I've done that. The problem is that the fading and cloudiness will return. I don't know how many times you can give it the heat treatment.

I'm reluctant to suggest this, but you might carefully try to apply some heat on the collar with a pinpoint torch. Be extremely careful with any kind of flame around fuel and plastics. Adjust the...

Hmmm...

Can you go through the front to get to it? Take out the storage bin, then remove the access panel, remove the ECU and move the wires out of the way to get to it?

Hard to imagine that...

Wearing Neoprene shorts is recommended, but I don't. Perhaps I should be more careful in my old age.

That's good. It could really hurt you if it flew off at 60 MPH. Do you have any pics or the mod? I'm just curious.

Has your front hatch been upgraded? I'm not even sure that Kawasaki has a solution for the problem yet.

I just plugged the hose on mine. Ran it about 15 hours then sold it, but no problems during that time.

Don't jumper black to white if you want it to spark.

Make sure it's bolted down and wear earplugs.

YJB isn't my website.

Thanks!

While this is certainly true, I doubt that an insurance company would consider it more than just a temporary spike. I bet they wouldn't actually pay more to replace a 'Ski now than they would a year...

Perhaps this? http://greenhulk.net/forums/showthread.php?t=290966&p=3111133#post3111133

So, you had one of those floating drive-up docks? I thought they fell off of one of those electric lifts that hold the 'Ski a couple feet above the water.

Are you in saltwater? If so, I'd...

Well, I don't know, but I did a little investigating. Looking at the parts diagram, the '03 and '06 do take different part numbers for the oil pan.

Sure enough, the '03 pan doesn't have a place...

Bummer!

Can't view the pictures.

Agreed. Not a bad idea to re-winterize them.

Saltwater? Definitely wash and flush out the jet pumps. Did they get water inside the hulls?

How did they fall off the lift? Waves get that...

Thanks for the info!

I had an unexplained seizure on the rear cylinder of an 1100 in my Exciter boat. Never was able to figure out what caused it. I'm guess that this also applies to the 1100...

I'm sure you don't have any damage, but when the temps go lower, you might.

Here's what the book shows:

If you check your owner's manual, you'll see a section on winterizing. There is a hose at the low point in the system where water collects. The book says to remove it and drain the water from...

Good story, Geeohhh!

Don't know what you mean by "the accelerator was cut in half." Broken throttle trigger?

Rebuilding the jet pump is probably a good idea. I don't know if the 3 bearing...

I've heard of people getting a fiberglass rod, like they mount driveway reflectors on, and cutting them down to a manageable size. If you get stick, put the shifter in forward and climb over the...
