Finishing touches going on today. Waiting for a sheet of turf for the bumpers, a new VTS gauge/boot and a set of Worx sponsons to wrap things up cosmetically.
Still need to put the gray box and harnesses in, suck the old oil out of the tank, and hard jet the pipe. Since I’m ahead of the game I’ll likely pull the nozzle components off and powder coat them so everything matches. Excited for spring!

Thought I’d update.. haven’t forgotten about the ski, but haven’t made any progress since around Christmas. With a crazy work schedule and below zero temperatures it’s been hard to get motivated.
I do have a Westcoast head, R&D nozzles, Worx sponsons and a hard jet kit on the way though, so I’m sure that’ll get me motivated. More progress soon!

Looking forward to it. I usually don’t work on projects unless I’m enjoying it

I’m the same way. If I’m not enjoying it I tend to rush to get it done. Trying to take my time on this one and make sure everything is as perfect as I can make it.

Checking back in here. Has anyone ever replaced the OEM Hi-Lo screws that hold the rear e-box in the hull? The holes in the fiberglass are stripped and I contemplated rivnuts, but access is tight on the rearmost hole. I guess I could just go up a screw size but wanted to see if anyone has any better ideas.

Alright, need some assistance. Searched and didn’t find any answers I haven’t already tried. 15A fuse in rear e-box blows as soon as battery cables are connected. Fuse won’t blow if 6-pin plug on mag cover is unplugged. Pulled mag cover and tested resistance on stator & it’s within 0.0-0.6 ohms across all three pins. Cleaned pickup coil and it looks like it’s in decent shape. Could a bad rectifier cause this?? Gauges don’t light up and I don’t get 2 beeps either. All fuses in MPEM and relay in gray box are good. Kind of at a loss here..
Yeah, I’d look at that 6-pin plug as your biggest clue.
If the fuse only blows when that’s connected, it’s almost definitely something in that circuit (stator/wiring/charging side), not the rest of the ski.
I don’t think rectifier would be my first guess, but it’s easy to rule out, just unplug it and see if the fuse still pops when you hook the battery up. If it still blows, I’d move on.
One thing to check that gets missed a lot, test each of the stator wires to ground, not just across each other. The resistance between phases can look fine, but if one leg is shorted to ground it’ll pop the fuse instantly.
Also worth taking a close look at the wiring where it comes out of the mag cover and runs to the e-box. Seems like those can rub through or get pinched.
I’m not an expert on these, but based on what you’re describing it really sounds like a short in that circuit somewhere, most likely stator or wiring before I’d suspect the rectifier.

Thanks MAL. I did check each of the 6 wires in the 6-pin connector and none of the 6 except the black in the bottom left corner of the plug went to ground, which is good.
Sure enough, as soon as I disconnected the rectifier, the gauges lit up and it turned right over. I swapped a spare I had in, and it went right back to popping the 15A fuse, however someone wrote “bad” on the back of the spare rectifier I had, so it’s likely both of them are toast.
With that being said, I think I’ll order a new rectifier and go from there, unless there is something else you might have in mind?
Sounds like you probably have it figured out. For the sake of science you could hook it up to a battery on the bench if you have an extra fuse you don't mind blowing. If it pops a fuse with no other input, that should confirm a short on the DC side.
