The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

Making pattern to send to Sea deck to make top rails in matching smoke grey and black.

Today our lift was set up and Perfect Heaven II moved into her new home on Clinch River/Watts Bar Lake...

I found the materials on Amazon. There are many different listings for these things, but here are the ones I bought.
Straps
Buckles

Make sure to melt the ends of the straps after you cut them to prevent fraying.

Replaced the front straps on the anti-pooling kit for my cover.

The front ones were dry rotted and one snapped while I was putting it on a few weeks ago.

$23 for polypropylene webbing and buckles. I should have enough left to replace the rear straps when they need it.

I've never used those. I'm too lazy.

Installed SeaDek from last year’s group buy.

Got the battery voltage mod done! Took about 8 minutes and now both batteries are reading independently and accurately on the Connext screen! Thanks @Mainah for this brilliant mod/fix!

Spent the last few evenings on a couple different projects. Finally installed the downvision transducer that came with my Raymarine Axiom that I bought 2 years ago. Was never fond of the transom mounted option and no longer had the spot open anyway after installing trim tabs. Bought a flush mount and installed it on the ride plate. Have seen several FSH guys with positive results in this location. Had to pull the ride plate for the wire but turned out good. Sits a couple inches above the bottom of the keel so should be protected.



Also installed an additional cleat as well as a flush mounted rod holder in the front anchor locker. Been doing more fishing lately with the kid and its always frustrating finding somewhere to set a pole. About the only other option I saw in the front was directly in front of the windshield by the GPS. Now I can just pop open the locker door. Cleat just gives another option to tie off the anchor on a windy day to keep the boat straighter. Both clear the ladder just fine.



Also pulled the factory scupper valve. Will be installing a stainless one tomorrow.

Looking at the Seadek website i'm not seeing the additional step points as an immediate option to purchase; do you need to contact them for a custom order? Is this something they already had a template for?

Just a cheapo Walmart beach tent. Fits perfectly in the bow of my 24ft. I just put some duct tape on the legs so they don’t rip or scratch anything. Usually toss in a backpack full of towels to add a little weight, and a little battery fan and it makes a great spot for the little ones to nap

You have to call them and give them the list of pieces that you want. Some are part of smaller kits some aren't. Here is the legend for your boat:




@JetBoatPilot customer service is fantastic! They'll get you squared away!

Spent this morning adding some more silicone around the access hatch in the clean out tray. Sprang a leak sometime over the winter. Must be from shrinkage in the silicone or something, who knows.

Haven't done anything to the boat today, but I just placed my order for a set of 6CW impellers. The wife even gave the go ahead on them, so no hiding boxes when they come in.

Well, that will be a new experience, not hiding the boxes! Let us know how that goes. And remember, pics or it didn't happen.

Just tell the wife it improves fuel consumption so you will make the money spent back
. Lol even if its a stereo upgrade....

Added Riva power and engine breather filters

This counts, right? I bought a wheel storage container from Home Depot. It lets me take the water toys and life vests from truck to boat and holds the cover and poles while we are out. Right now I just wheel it back to the truck while we are out, but I'll bungee cord or strap it to the air dock while we are out. Unfortunately, it is too tight to place it on the dock by the slip.

Installed Cobra Jet Steering fins - the SUPER Magnum AK DELUXE with AK MEGA FANGS PLUS. Great improvement in steering, as many others have stated. The YouTube videos were very helpful in completing the install.

Just installed 60” post guides on the trailer.
