Just like many threads on here...I've ran into many machines with rotten power and ground wires. They can cause all sorts of electrical gremlins we all hate dealing with. I decided it was time to build them. Now if you know me, I'm not one to go the cheapest route, so I sourced out materials that are BETTER THAN OEM. Seadoo didn't use marine grade cable...I did. Seadoo didn't put wire protection from end to end on all 3 cables...I did. Also, I sourced out marine grade tinned copper lugs that fit the small holes on the e boxes! It was a lot of work to find the correct ones. I am also using marine grade shrink wrap.


Prices vary depending on the machine they are going on...but for example, a 1996 XP (X-4 800) will be $100 shipped in the US for the set of three. I can make them in any length, any style, for any machine. These are put together in house! :thumbsup:






 
I can vouch for these as I have a set installed on '95 XP800 #1 and they fixed all of my random electrical gremlins throughout the ski. As a bonus they look awesome as well. I will be ordering a few more sets for other skis as needed. Anyone restoring a ski should start with these cables.
 
Thanks bud!!! Yeah I was so sick of wondering if my cables were the source of starter issues...that and I actually snapped the cable off my starter at one point in time jumping that I really wanted solid cables. I know $100 sounds steep but sourcing everything out and an hour of assembly time...Its going to cost you alot more than that.
 
How much for the 1997+ XP's? They seem to have more cable issues than any other, probably because they are so long.
 
I was going to make some for myself my idea on soldering them was to get thin electronic solder wrap a few strands around the wire stick it all into the lug and heat the lug with a micro torch. Then pull heatshrink over and seal.
 
Yeah they make solder pellets specifically for this purpose. I assume you put them upright in a vise, get them hot and melt them then jam the wire in.

Yep, those pellets work better than any solder for electrical connections I have ever dealt with.

I gotta build some more for some personal skis here pretty soon Ill order up some pellets and let you guys know how it goes.
 
Spring bump anyone interested?

Just ordered a set of these for my 99 GTX RFI as I literally had three ends break off. Plus 2 cables had deep cuts in them and corroded, who knows why but they look awful. And with power to these RFI's being so important, I think it's a good investment. Thanks Nick!
 
Spring bump....Just made up a set for a customer and tried the solder slugs and I gotta say they are slick!!! I also crimped them after soldering them and added the red OEM covers to protect from shorting.

Nothing involved with a seadoo is "cheap"
 
You got that right....damn you catching the edit! LOL After writing that, .30 ea for a total of 1.80 isnt alot to add that much more protection.
 
are stock cables 4 awg nick? (don't mean to hi jack I'd have a set off you but ya know, shippings killer lately with the weak £)
