STX-15f Water box install help.

[cowboyjw]

I have searched everywere but I cant seem to find this information out.

I installed the water box onto the exhaust pipe and it only slides on about 1/4 inch past the second ring is this correct or should it slide on further.

any ideas would be great.

Is it possible that the sleeve is pushed forward? Is it he original WB?

[cowboyjw]

what is the sleeve? I am pretty sure it is original the ski only has 24 hours on it..

I'm referring to the silicon hose that couples the exhaust manifold and water box. Pics would go a long way if you could post some.

[cowboyjw]

thank you I will get some pictures of it today thank you.

[nmpeter]

it's painful..liberal applications of silicone spray( and spit) help. I use my giant oil filter pliers to help a little. That's a stiffy for sure.

Well...KY jelly works, and it's water solvent! Nonflammable also.

You dont have the ring seated fully. Try it without the rings on it and post another picture.
