    Hydrophase makes you lazy!! But in a good way

    I had to send my ride steady back for an error code I was getting. Going back to manual throttles absolutely sucks. I had forgotten how much work it takes to hold a speed and sync the engines. The only good thing about it was the amazing customer service from hydrophase!!! Fast email response...

    Foil Boarding - Loyal to the Foil

    Got my hands on an infinity 76 wing. Holy shinitskies!!!! What a totally different ride. I can't believe I held out getting one for this long. I did have the chance to ride a naish and a Armstrong set up. Both very nice, but...moving up the slingshot line, I think it's an easier learning curve...

    My new impellers got here today. Came off easier than expected, good. But one of the shaft threads got stripped while taking it off somehow...bad. new shaft $400 bad, took to machine shop to redo threads..$30 very good. Grease in the cones was ok, but it's replaced.

    Strange fuses

    Where were those resistors located? Im thinking that might be the problem with my water temp reading and NMEA error. But I don't want to thread hijack.

    Installing Lumitec Underwater Lights

    . I just installed the titan 2 rgb. The wires are not what you'd expect. This video explained it. I went thru the hatch between the jet plugs using some stuff romex wire to fish with. Then thru a hole in the engine compartment.

    Spring cleaning..

    I Won't be leaving the boat in the water next winter. On top of the goo on the bottom, the jets were covered in corrosion.
