Sparkenstein!!!

Hi.
First of all, sorry for my bad english, is not my mother language, but I try with G. translator help. Do not laugh too much...
I have 4 2014 Spark for rent in the panamenian Caribbean Sea, incredible place to ride.
The white one, had a big hole in the hull, alot of water in, and do not start and I decided to trust a local mechanic, who "was" my friend.
I would urge him claim to perform the repair as soon as possible after that time (8 months) the jetski me back. To my surprise with what I found dozens of small holes in the hull, sewn with fishing line and all this covered with tar paper ... besides the Molex connectors disappeared and in return put me shit individual connectors. etc, etc...
After that, I decided to do repairs myself with my small local team.
The hull was ready and hope so that we did a good work.

Actually my big problem are with the wiring connections. Waiting to buy a new Molex Mx 150, but not really know the part number. Any body nows?
I am pairing de cables by colors, but have probles with the 5 black ones. Any help?


Greetings to all

Uh wow.. that's... interesting. The spark hulls are plastic and should just be replaced if you crack them

Good morning.

hfgreg:
I know that the hull is plastic, namely polipropilene (PP). But you see, I have 3 hulls damaged and I've read that a break of more than 40 cm. has to change according to the catalog, economically for me, it's impossible. I live in a remote area and hull cost, transportation is $ 20 x kilo apart to get out of the standard measures, and without customs and inland transport, etc...
After thinking what would be the best solution, I have come to the conclusion that plastic welding is the best. Probed the 3M products that Seadoo recommended and did not work. Delaminatings was easily, stretching with fingers at one end.
Welds apparently have been pretty good with a stainless steel mesh inserted between the plastic. Hitting the hull with a small hammer (I know it's not a very scientific method) a difference of sound, makes me believe that there is much thicker in the repaired areas than in the rest appreciated.



ocod: efectivamente, is the marvelous and subrealist Bocas del Toro

Plastic welding is the way to go to repair these. Your repair looks good how is it holding up?
