Autozone wanted $40 to “rent” it in case you don’t bring it back. It’s a deposit. Essentially you’re buying whatever tool you’re borrowing and then returning it for a refund when you’re done. The cost varies by the tool.

The driveshaft will do that without the impeller installed to hold it in place. Aside from rolling it on a flat surface to verify it straight if you want to check it in the machine put the pump and everything back together and crawl underneath it while it’s running so you can see the shaft...

Excellent! Thanks

Recently purchased what looks to be a low hour ski but it has this sticker on the right rear corner. Has anyone else seen such a sticker? It has the VIN and a bar code like you would see in the window of a rental car. Can anyone tell me if this is something that would have been on ski at the...

Nope. Not difficult at all. All back together and lake tested yesterday. Works great. Thanks for the help!

I was wondering if it had something to do with the polymer housings. There is two under the siphon tube’s and two directly opposite of that. They definitely look like high-quality factory screws but I’ve come to expect anything on an 18-year-old machine. Very grateful for the knowledge on this form.

Ok. Thanks. I’ll drill it and put them back in.

This is the first ring I’ve ever replaced so forgive me if this is it dumb question but are these screws supposed to be here? I’ve watched many videos of people replacing wear rings and no one has ever mentioned screws before. There’s two screws on either side of the housing. Both of them went...

Ok. Good to know. Thanks!

I bought A 2001 GTS last weekend. I’m in the process of replacing the wear ring and the carbon seal right now. As I was looking around the ski getting familiar with it I noticed the line from the garden hose fitting goes to what appears to be a line out connection on the engine. Is this...

Thanks AKnarrowback! Ignorance of function was definitely my problem. Simple push of the starter button did the trick. Hope to get the first lake test this weekend. Thanks again

Excellent! Thanks for the tip! I will give it a try when I get home!

Thanks for the reply. What are you referring to when you say the rubber boot at the nozzle area? The trim assembly looks extremely clean and doesn’t appear that it’s ever had any real exposure to water. Is there supposed to be a hose attached to the end of what appears to be some sort of filter!

Hello all. Just picked up a 94 XP yesterday. Never owned a Ski and have only ridden one once in my life. I’m trying to figure out why the trim doesn’t work. Is it more common for the fuse to blow or for the motor to go out? I’m also trying to figure out where this hose goes. Any help would...
