I have a '94 GTS and i'm installing '94 GTX gauges in it (fuel/oil, speedo) The speedo mounts on the front cowl that opens and closes now my question is the wiring runs inside the cowl and out the bottom but how do i run the wiring into the hull? Do i have to drill a hole there and silicone it up? Thanks for the help, if anyone has pictures of theirs i'd love to see how its done.

Wire installation?
I'm not real familar with your exact model, but I can help you out by telling you how my GTX is set up.
Up front, where the cowling comes down to the hinge that connects it to the hull, there should be a round hole with a rubber grommet. That's where you should pass your wires through. If for some reason, you don't have this done and need to do it, then you'll want to drill the hole directly at the area of the hinge, to minimize the amount of pull and slack is needed. Then, smooth the hole and install a grommet. You can buy them at auto parts stores.
Once the wires have passed through the hull, I would assume you know where your going with them. Since it appears your problem is "how to pass them through".:cheers:

Question...?
I just finished going over the models you are working with and they both are pretty much the same. So, what I'm trying to figure out is, why are you having to cut holes? You should be able to swap out directly from the GTX to the GTS. Unless, they made one GTS without the speedo and fuel gage and one with..... That's all I can figure.

on my 94 GTS the dash just has the circle in the paint outlined but its not cut out for the gauge. And on the cowl it had a plastic insert where the gauge should go. I just finished cutting out the fuel/oil gauge. Turned out really good. Since i have you tuned in here, what are the pros and cons of a high compression head? Also out of these heads which would you choose? I'm running fully rebuilt 580, westcoast exhaust, rebuilt jet pump and 15/20 solas impeller and aftermarket flame arrestors
Ocean pro high comp head.

Yeah, I thought they might have made two versions. One for a standard model and one that cost a bit more. That was right at the year they started making the option for speedo's in most of the PWC's.
The parts are awesome. Love the colors. That head, now that's cool!
I think your on the right track. Just follow the patterns, but make sure you get the right measurement. It's actually better to undercut, then take a small drum sander, like from a dremel tool, to finish it off. Using a hole saw or other jagged blade will leave hairline fractures in your fiberglass. So, when you cut, it's best to bring it back to a smooth surface before installation.:cheers:

Not really...
Well, not really. Ocean Pro heads have been in high performance watercraft for a few years. But, your looking at a 1994 with a 587cc Rotax engine. How much you willing to invest to go fast? Think about that. I don't think the investment will ever pay you back what you put into it. So, it'll need to be one of those sentimental value type things.
If this is something of sentimental value, then by all means, have fun, do what makes you happy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise or you might regret it later.:cheers:

sentimental things? heck no i bought it for $300cdn. I put another 300 into it for the steering and gauges and sensors etc. Motor is blown both top end and bottom end. Hull is in good shape, i'm just building it piece by piece then i know whats new and don't have to worry buying a used ski for more money and wondering how long it will last. This way i know whats new and how it was built.
