@jetboater4life did you make any progress on your version?
I finally had a chance to try mine out and it was a no-go from the start. The jet nozzle was a little smaller than I remembered which made getting the plunger in there near impossible. I decided it wasn't worth breaking my jet nozzle linkage so I'm out the cost of a plunger.

I think I might make one this week. But adapt it to fit a garden hose. I plan on making a water slide on one of the tall/steep beaches on the river by forming a shallow ditch down the beach to the water, lining it with plastic sheating and running the hose up to the top. Supercharged water slide!

Now I have a new boat....wondering if it will:
  1. Fit in the nozzles on the new boat
  2. If I can get the gate open on the boat to install it
  3. If I can rev the engine without opening the gate
If I can't....I guess I'll have to pass my toy on to someone else who could make good use of it....

Oh...the answer to my earlier question is....no...this didn't work on my new 242X as I couldn't 1) easily move the gate, 2) rev the engine in neutral....

So I turned it over to @Speedling and he is now the firechief! LOL

@Wisefam22 you need to make this for the gathering.

I wish it worked on the newer boats because I want one for the Pirates of Lanier poker run. I finally found the thread and really disappointed it won't work.

Geez ... just read this thread. I am going back to Reddit now for crazy stuff created for viewing pleasure.

If the incentive guys on this forum were focused on world hunger ;-)

I've never played around with the manual gate controls on the E-Series....it might be simple to make this work on one....just takes some experimentation! If I ever get some time perhaps I'll build another and give it a shot....it is a fun squirt gun (might use a 1" ID hose next time!)
