Another dumb question.

If I want to replace the lanyard cable, cause all the rubber is gone from mine, where do I get just the rubber coated rope thing? My lanyard is good just need the curly cable thing. Looks easy to replace.

As far as I know, you can't do that, but a new lanyard is about $40 and then another $10 to have them program it to your MPEM.

I know. I was trying to get away with out haveing to do that. I can put a new rubber thingy on. Have the tools. Just need it. Has got to be a place to find it?

 

[JJinSC]

If you figure something out, let me know too. I am in the same situation and I have just been prolonging spending the money to replace a DESS that works perfect. The long string with out the self retracting rubber is a pain though.

 

[slowboatn]

I may go to Wal Mart and buy one of theirs and cut it off and put it on mine. I know I've seen them somewhere but I don't know where. Are there some jet ski specific stores?

 

[JJinSC]

Let me know how it works out.

 

[slowboatn]

I will. I wish I could just find the darn cord stuff. I may ask Bombardier.

You don't need to buy a new lanyard from seadoo...Either go to like you said Walmarts and get the coil from a cheap lanyard...$3.00 or something and a stainless steel crimp from like Home Depot, or go to West Marine and spend like $9.00 for a replacement and attach it to the lanyard cap, same way.

That is what I"m gonna do. I knew someone had to sell just the coil for them. Just didn't know where to find it. I can't find it on the net. Search is useless w/ this.

I got this lanyard from Walmart for $9.00 and put it on my DESS. It doesn't look quit like the original, but it works and was a lot cheaper than a new one from the dealer. Thanks for the idea!

 

[slowboatn]

OMG! That is what mine looks like. That is awesome. Except my whistle isn't on mine. Should it be?

 

[JJinSC]

The whistle doesn't have to be on it but you do have to have one with you in SC, so I just put mine on the lanyard so it would always be with me.

 

[slowboatn]

O.K. then. I'm good. I've got 2(two) of them. My ski messed up again. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Academy Sports has a universal relpacement that I used when my lanyard broke.
