vts trim ? electric to mechanical

[lazypineapple]

my 95xp has sprung a leak on the upper exhaust manifold,
While shopping for a manifold I came across a cable operated VTS Trim system for a Seadoo. My electric VTS system has been dead along time. Controller is bad, but it stuck in a good riding position, so i op'd out on the 200+ expense.
this unit doesn't specifi the year seadoo it came off of. it's all there from the control knob to the cable,
question is can i switch out my eletric system for the mechanical system. ?
by just disconnecting the cable and pluging in the mechical cable and mounting the new conrol knob, ?
thanks?

i just found this killer place...........:hurray:

i think i'll take my manifold to work next week and see if we can weld or repair it, be4 i buy anudder 1,

Manual VTS...

The cable controlled VTS systems are used on the boats. I'm not to sure if they can easily be modified to fit the ski's.....:cheers:
Leak?.......if your manifold has a pinhole leak in the water jacket, you may be able to grind it out with a burring tool (dremel) to clean aluminum and use a JB weld to repair. The last time I looked, those exhaust pipes were over a couple hundred bucks!.......

yep, it a hole about 3mm in what looks like a weld in plug , by th hose connection,

upon further investigation this vts unit is from a 94xp, but looking at the fische, they use a mtr too. looks like a knob control instead of push button,.
oh well,,,,
who make a cable trim control for the xp?

None that I know of....

I don't know of any modifications to the VTS systems to make them cable operated. It would be nice though. I know I like mine just the way it is. One less system to worry about.

Your hole is in the same place mine was. I used the dremel tool to burr it out clean, then used a piece of aluminum screen to fit over the area and used JB weld. There is no real pressure on it, except from the nozzles inlet to the motor. I had 3 or 4 areas that I ended up repairing. None have started leaking again.

Good luck!..........:cheers:
