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

[John Mcpartland]

Installed my on board battery charger

 

[Quad]

Watched the boat endure it’s first storm on a mooring, sorted out storage bins for the boat, restocked the tool bag, and got the registration letters in hand.

Any advise on cleaning the hull before applying lettering?

 

[tdonoughue]

Acetone and wipe. Then dry. Make sure it is dry and apply your letters.

Installed the “yes overkill” ARK XO750 heavy duty trailer jack. Can’t live with POS Shoreland’r OEM jack and can’t put a price on peace of mind.

 

[AZMark]

Just installed 60” post guides on the trailer. View attachment 122123View attachment 122124

Get some padded covers for those things. I just did guides too and they come in handy on a busy waked out boat ramp. I ordered the 48" mad dog covers on amazon and they are well made, especially for $41.

Take lots of pictures as you pull things apart that your not too sure of. Makes things so much easier.

By some miracle got it all back together. Ribbon delete had to be cut out of manifold. Drilled tap for blow off valve. Had to disconnect fuel rail. Not started yet gonna wait a bit for that.

10 hour service time. Surprised just how dirty that oil was. Love this oil extractor, makes quick work of oil change. View attachment 119243View attachment 119244

Which extractor is this?

 

[jEt_jAk]

All done. Started up fine. Will be testing on Saturday.

 

[Inthrustwetrust]

Name is on!

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.

Parts just arrived. Here you go. Proof it happened.

I am duly (no, more than duly) impressed.

Congrats, sir!

Just got my new 6CW impellers installed. It was much easier than I expected. The pictures of a 6CW and 6AP sitting side by side don't do it justice, the 6CWs look massive compared to the stock ones.

It only took 2 hours: which includes a trip to home depot for a 6" vise (my 4" broke while attempting removal), and I picked up a 27mm combination wrench (crescent wrench wanted to round off the impeller nut).

I talked it up big to the wife before ordering, so I really hope it provides the noticeable seat of the pants difference everyone else has experienced. We'll find out tomorrow. ?

I sure noticed a big difference. Although, I have a couple other factors at play, such as having had them pitched for elevation and elevation itself. I'm interested to hear your review.
