My jet pump does not have this hose. Is that normal?

If it´s normal, why some models have it?

Thanks

That's the water supply for the O.P.A.S. Normal? Depends if your ski has OPAS or not.

Sorry to ask, but what is OPAS?
Is that two "side fins" in the ski???

Could someone remove / avoid this hose in my ski? Any benefits??

Most important now: Could this be the reason of overheating on the exhaust system?

thanks

Nevermind.

Found a post from [MENTION=24976]red2blue[/MENTION] which explains that (OPAS):

"They improve slow and off throttle steering. A deffinate improvent over older skis...safer too for the noobs who don't understand the need for thrust when steering.

What will you lose be removing them?....it'll be a lil harder to dock/trailer your ski."

I will let OPAS off like it is.
