Fair enough. Thank you for your elaborate feedback :). I can do another video next time.... - Bearings can only go in one way. - Need to pack the bearings first. That is what you see me doing with the grease in my hand. Just scoop the lip of the bearings continuously until the grease comes out the other side. Here is a better video of packing the bearings if you still need help kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ranX5ti7Z8iKc. - Seal goes on the back side of the hub. Install the bearing then seal (solid side out) with a hammer and equally sized socket or 2x4 to ensure even pressure. - Front side seal is installed same time as hub to the axle. It will be secured when axle nut is installed. Tighten axle nut evenly including rotating hub to ensure even seating. - When fully seated, rotate axle nut a 1/8 to 1/4 turn counterclockwise - Install axle axle/nut cotter pin - Install wheels. That's it!

I just put the JetTrim on my 2018 FX SVHO Cruiser. Was surprised at how easy it was. Took about 3 weeks to get the seat covers in which was super fast. It took about 30 min per seat and that was taking the staples out. I bought a staple remover that it’s like the back of a claw hammer but on a screw driver. So I can pry and it will pull the staples without having to use anything else. According to their instructions, If your original seats didn’t have the hold down tab straps, like yours since it doesn’t have raised areas, you keep the original cover on to waterproof the foam. If it has the straps, like mine since it is raised in areas, you have to use a bag to cover the foam. I ended up getting a roll of the slick film they used originally and put it over my seat. Stapling everything back on only took about 5 minutes. And I got the same stapler as you. Worked awesome. I got the marine staples, but they wouldn’t sit flush and just ended up using the stainless ones. I can’t wait to get mine out on the water. Due to your grip video, I order the grips and the extender from Worx and they should be here today. ODI is close to me, about 20 minutes away. But when I went to get the grip extender, it also had the grips on their site too. I also ordered their trim extender for my ski.

@@jdlmon64 Helped with porpoising. Not sure if it's unique to mine but the how liked to porpoise (bounce up and down) a lot. Also helped get on plane a bit quicker, gained 1mph top speed, and made a huge difference in the amount of grip while turning really hard. You won't notice that last one unless you ride aggressively and really throw the ski into corners, but if you do, I am sure the back end has slid out and you've spun around or maybe even been thrown off. The ride plate made it much harder for it to slide.
@PotatoeJoe69 Жыл бұрын
The impeller is more for a full throttle acceleration, stunting and choppy water, it's design helps prevent cavitation and maintaina hook up instead of just spinning and bouncing off the rev limiter. The ride plate is more for handling. Pwrosnally on my brand new 2023 Jetblaster, the ride playe eliminated my skis porpoising. It really liked to porpoise at medium speeds on light chop, now ot doesn't. It also liked to slide out in hard turns, and the ride plate eliminated some lf that tendency as well.

One of the most convenient locks you can get for the trailer hitch lock is the Bolt brand lock. You get ones that are keyed to your vehicle key. I only have one tow vehicle, so I have a few of their locks, a pad lock, cable lock, hitch pin lock, and the trailer hitch lock and then they have a tongue lock. All keyed to my truck. So it’s one key for all and I don’t have to have a lot of different keys that always get lost. As long as you have your vehicle key you have the key to your hitch and trailer and all that. For the spare tire, you can buy a lock for it that screws onto the lugs and actually acts as the lug nuts for it, you can undo it by hand, no tool needed. The two halves connect to allow a padlock to lock them so they can not be unscrewed, and your tire stolen. I use the Bolt padlock there. I use the Bolt cable lock to attach to the rear tie down to the trailer. Since it is a vehicle key, and they make them for all types makes and models. You need to make sure you get one for your brand vehicle and type of key, standard cut or side cute. Since it is a vehicle key, they are harder to just rake pick like generic trailer and hitch locks are. Can still be done, but takes more of their time. For license plates, use nuts and use the security head bolts or screws. They need more than just a screwdriver or pliers. I am also surprised when you got stopped in the past they didn’t mention the reg numbers. I can see if your video the required spacing is not there lol. But really check out the Bolt locks. They are awesome and don’t have to worry about extra keys or misplacing one.

Are you referring to lower or higher speeds? If higher speeds, yes it will help. The EX is not as stable as a VX, FX, or GP so you need a little more throttle input with two people on board.

Are the ODI "watercraft" grips different than their ATV grips? I had put odi rogue grips on one of my older waverunners and they were slippery when wet. maybe I got the wrong version? Surely there are not two versions of ODI rogue out there with different compounds?
@oldfarth2016 Жыл бұрын
The only difference I am assuming would be the size and mounting style. Compounds should be the same. You are correct, the grips can get slippery when wet especially when new.

The materials work well together to ensure a good grip. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Yep, like Phil said... roll it over a few times and buckle it up to seal it properly. It works well. I've got the front hatch storage, bow storage and rear storage on my EXR and it transforms the ski. There's so much more storage now and it makes very little difference to the ergonomics of the craft. The rear storage is great - enough room to hold a proper anchor setup. I usually use it to store a Sandshark sand screw-in anchor and a Coopers (proper) anchor with 2m (7ft) chain and 6m (20ft) rope. For the front hatch storage (ie. the pod on top) I store a tow rope, about 7M (22ft roughly) with snap hooks. In the bow storage goes items that can't get wet like cameras and so on. Just got to make sure you pad them a bit when going in the surf/wave jumping. Those 3 storage options totally transform the ski.
