On my 2005 Sportster Le DI, I want to attach a Ram Mount 2.5" round plate with machine screws to this spacer on the dash. When looking inside the hood, I can't see what's behind this spacer without doing some disassembly. The Ram mount is going to attach to 6" Ram Socket arm (to raise my phone...

JB Weld 8265S Original Cold-Weld Steel Reinforced Epoxy would be perfect. Or, any epoxy that requires mixing A and B. The longer the set time, the harder it will cure.

I don't think that's the right kind of glue to secure a nut. It's designed to be a sealant, so it remains rubbery and flexible. I would use glue that drys hard and has high tinsel strength.

What kind of glue and what is the material you're gluing into? My glue of choice is 45-minute epoxy. It sets up really hard compared to 5-minute or 30-minute. If I need it to be less viscous before setting up, I'll mix it with a little sawdust. In 24 hours, it should be rock hard, and when...

That looks fantastic, just like it was done in the factory.

Really great advice here guys, thanks very much! This is what I've gathered. Did I miss anything of significance or misstate anything on these three? GTS = 3 seater, slowest of the three, smallest engine (720), low maintenance, best on fuel, hull slides the most of the three. GXS = 2...

What is rudder assist?

I'm looking at buying a ski and I need some advice. What are the pros and cons between '98 GTS vs '97 GSX vs '97 GTX?

Thanks, Jeremy!

Here's the tool I am going to use to remove the bottom seat bolts that are facing the front of the boat. It's basically an arm extender.

If you haven't already stapled your new seat covers, I would recommend using Monel staples instead of stainless steel. Monel is less corrosive. I'm pretty sure all stainless steel staples are 304 stainless, which will definitely rust over time. 316 stainless is less corrosive than 304...

My 2005 Sportster had these metal plates in the seat cavity that are rivited to the plastic seat body. The OEM rivets are aluminum and the heads corroded completely off on half of them. It was a real pain to fish the plates out of the cavity. Once I got the plates out, I drilled out all...

I think I figured out how to reach those bolts. I haven't tried it yet, but plan on doing it in a day or few. He's my tool I'm going to use. The angled piece is here: Robot Check

On a 2005 Sportster, how to you reach the two bow facing seat bolts that secure the bottom section of rear seat to the hull? These are screws #3 and #4 in my pictures. I can stand on my head in the engine compartment and reach #1 and #2, but using a 12" ratchet handle, the the others are about 4...

Can you send a picture of where these bolts are spinning? Is this in the rear seat, lower section, rear seat upper section, front seats, etc.?
