I found the answer :
mats will also reduce the engine noise... :winkingthumbsup"
 
I am going to buy the kit from Ebay : if you compare with 1000$ from the dealership.
Any experience ?

We did (before having the starting trouble) few waterski runs. With my 170hp you need to go full power (8000 rpm) when starting with a slalom ski. I love this boat, my friend (driver for the ski and tube) too. The gas expenses are moderate :facepalm:, for such motor boat: we are using the power ;).

I did my slalom ski support, having the protecting pads allows me to remove the ski from the case without any damage for the boat or the ski.

Winter cleaning today, I discovered than one of the check valves for draining the cockpit was in the wrong direction :rolleyes: .
It could explain why I had always little water in the boat coming from the drains (I have now plugs, easy to remove if needed).

Today will be the last day to prepare the boat for the winter. I found a clear video to prepare the job:

My exhaust is already dry, done last weekend. Oil has been replaced, today will be the fogging phase....

Done, boat could be store inside :yawn: ...
Before I am starting to install a new tow point for the slalom skiers o_O...

I forgot to say thank you to the community and especially to Luc for the support.:):):):)
It's not my first boat but my first jet :thumbsup:
