...but no AC...
We are delighted you have found your way to the best Jet Boaters Forum on the internet! Please consider Signing Up so that you can enjoy all the features and offers on the forum. We have members with boats from all the major manufacturers including Yamaha, Seadoo, Scarab and Chaparral. We don't email you SPAM, and the site is totally non-commercial. So what's to lose? IT IS FREE!
Membership allows you to ask questions (no matter how mundane), meet up with other jet boaters, see full images (not just thumbnails), browse the member map and qualifies you for members only discounts offered by vendors who run specials for our members only! (It also gets rid of this banner!)
I hope that someone will replicate the project and find similar results. It could be a placebo effect but it certainly felt better to us.Wow! I am truly surprised. Another mod to add to the list...
I believe it would help but you also need to verify that your jet is aligned correctly when the steering wheel is centered and has equal movement to left and right when the steering wheel is turned.My boat (2016 SX190) turns really well to the right, but not as aggressively to the left. This is with a well balanced boat.
Do you think this mod would help that? I checked the jet and it wiggles just like the before video above.
You could use a smaller bolt instead of drilling out the bushings. But doing so would reduce the strength of the bolt and increase the gap between the bolt and the diameter of the holes in the fork which I believe would negate any gains from using the bushing.Question, would I need to drill out the bushings or find a new bolt that fits better?
