I’d love some info from experienced people on my ski. Not sure what to expect so I thought I’d throw it out there.
1. Do you blow out the water box after a ride? I have tried to do that, but nothing comes out. Not sure if it is necessary on this ski.
2. At what rpms do your rave valves open? I know it varies with the throttle application, but mine generally do at around 4600 rpm. Then it feels like I’m on a rocket ship. It takes off fast!
3. I have been using Stabil fogging oil. It is not marked as Marine. I bought it at Autozone. Does it need to be a marine fogging oil.
4. How do you get the water out of the footwells? No matter what I do I always end up with a puddle of water in my footwells that turns to algae. Has anyone considered putting a thru hull drain fitting in there to address this?
The great news is after a complete rebuild (engine, carb, fuel lines, selector switch, alignment, pump, oil lines and filter, fuel filter and gasket) she runs like a charm. Tons of fun. Have about 23 hours on her and she starts easy, idles rock solid, and has near instant response at every throttle position. She is a great cruiser.
Thanks for all your help guys! You have been a great help and blessing to me and my family!
