    Tow rope in 120XR Sportjet

    Hi, Been working the last few days cutting out the stuck tow rope from my 1996 Regal Rush 120xr Sportjet impeller. This is the worst one yet. Finally got enough of it out to start the boat. I ran around the lake a few times then put it back on the boat lift. Unfortunately there are still a few...

    Best tool to remove rope from jet intake of any jet boat / jet ski / waverunner

    The tool is just the right size as it provides enough leverage to cut through rope that is accidentally sucked up into a jet boat intake. Easy to insert tool through grate and it’ll cut nylon rope easily. In less than 10 minutes, I was able to remove a large amount of rope that was tightly...

    dock line retainer?

    I am looking for a V Cleat that will retain the end of my dock lines when not in use. I am picturing something like a V or Clam Cleat, but it doesn't need to hold any weight. Ideally it will be a plastic cleat/retainer/keeper that sticks on with double sided tape. The purpose is to retain the...

    Well, sucked a rope!

    So yeap, sucked a rope on my starboard engine....noticed very quick. Stopped the engine and went to the marina very, very slowly. So obviously the protective sleeve is a joke and in reality does more damage than help. On my previous SeaDoo boat, I was able to remove the rope from the shaft (in...

    2015 Scarab sucking up a rope - Will the boat sink or swamp?

    Last weekend, I sucked up my 3rd rope and I'm really bummed about it as my boat sits in the shop needing repairs $$$. I've only had the boat 15 months. First rope: lobster hoop netting on a dark night. Nearly sank or swampled the boat beingtowed 30 miles back from Catalina island, required...

    Wakeboarding question

    Searched for this question, but didn't see it anywhere, so I'll ask it here for my first post: Obviously I can see you can't attach the rope to the tower with the bimini deployed, but can it be used with the bimini folded back in the boot? Or does the top have to be removed completely for the...

    My first rope

    Only 7 hours on my new boat and I sucked my first rope. This happened because my rope person was distracted on their phone and my tube spotter was upfront. I had been cautious about the rope but I also had that momentary lapse of neutral being safe (like my previous boat). What made matters...

    By Popular Demand--New Trophy for Sucking up a rope!

    @0627Devildog suggested that we add a trophy for anyone who has sucked up a rope into their pump. So I have just gotten around to doing this. There is now a question at the bottom of your Personal Details screen that asks if you have sucked up a rope. Answer it "YES" and over night the trophy...

    I joined the rope sucking club yesterday

    Im out on Hobe Sound Florida, had the wife and kids loaded up, spent several hours tubing and wake boarding. After the last run for the day on the tube, kids tied off the tube about 25 ft back, but someone didnt bother to secure the rest of the rope in the boat. I cranked her up and bam, rope...
