[@PatriotSteve]

Very well done video. Interesting to watch the process.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Thank you. We had fun doing the install. Thanks for watching!

[@allenclark1914]

I enjoy learning with your videos

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Glad to hear it! We try to make them as simplest as possible.

[@gsxjiffy6076]

Saw the oil catch can on it. A must have for any supercharged engine. Have the same ski for my wife. Other ski is a RXT 300. Stage 1 plus kit and a tune. Rocket ship. Cant wait for winter to be over in Chicago... Keep up the good videos guys!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Yup! Oil catch can. Thank you for your comments. Keep warm over there.

[@Tommytakanawa]

​@@TheOceansideGuyjust bought a 2018 sea doo gtr 230. Catch can really neccessary?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

@@Tommytakanawa Yes. A supercharged Sea-Doo will need the catch can. Here is a GREAT explanation why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5m4gqt7oZxkqpIsi=DJn85Sdjhw5hCing

[@Tommytakanawa]

@TheOceansideGuy alright thanks man

[@Tommytakanawa]

@TheOceansideGuy don't mean to tie up all your time but is there a specific oil catch can you would reccomend? Have a 2018 gtr 230 40 hours on it. The Riva seems a bit expensive but If it's worth the money ill get it.

[@ArtorMachine]

I need this kinda intake grate information, thank you God bless.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Excellent. Glad the video helped. What is it that you were mostly looking for about the intake grate?

[@ZJMK605]

great video. Thanks!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Glad you liked it! Are you wanting to install the intake grate?

[@richr909]

Hey just a quick tip. Never show the license plate of anything in a video. Someone can look that up and find out where that machine is. Same with the hull numbers. Don't ever show those on a video. Thanks for making this video.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Thanks for the tip.

[@johnkelly4043]

Great time for the riva catch can and JP performance 4 in intake 😂

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Got the catch can already. Love it!

[@neilandreou4409]

hey.. what is that wrap you've done to the Ski ? it looks awesome!!! Where can I get it from and do you have an install video ?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

That was a self made install.

[@user-yl7ue5ys9s]

I think you could leave the music out.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Ya. Too loud. Thx for the feedback.

[@user-yl7ue5ys9s]

@TheOceansideGuy no hate bro. Just my internet opinion.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

@@user-yl7ue5ys9s its all good.

[@badkarma2202]

Just put mine on, still need to hit the water.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Wow, that is awesome! You will definitely feel a difference! Let me know how it goes.

[@dennissorokin3872]

Nice! Those riva parts are not cheap though!😅

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Ha ha no not cheap. But it helps when a family member gives you a great Christmas "Gift"

[@giljunior7494]

Deric, Will that crate increase speed ?? I'm sure RIVA also makes those crates for Kawasaki and Yamaha correct ?? Very helpful video ?? - Cheers

[@TheLogicprouser]

I watched a video with Kevin from WCJ who said the grate actually slows the top end slightly when compared to stock.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Hi Gil. Does not increase speed. Just more efficient on pushing the water thru the impeller.

[@TheOceansideGuy]

@@TheLogicprouser It can because the RIVA Grate pushes MUCH more water and the design is much deeper.

[@angelone7202]

I noticed that you had a torque wrench out on the tool desk but you never used it to torque any bolts or nuts?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

We did a hand tightening and used red Loctite as you saw in the video.

[@angelone7202]

Yes, I observed that. I assume there is no toque spec for the new install, just shady tree mechanic hand tight and let the red loctite keep it from backing out. 🙂 @@TheOceansideGuy

[@wed3k]

​@@angelone7202 when youre good, you dont need a torque wrench. You can feel the bolts

[@thewuf]

@TheOceansideGuy what is the aftermarket part he's removing at the 6:09 mark?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

He created manufactured his own Ski pylon . To pull an innertube or anything behind the Sea-Doo.

[@thewuf]

@@TheOceansideGuy Very cool!

[@TheOceansideGuy]

@@thewuf for sure!

[@tonylamadora1200]

@@TheOceansideGuydoes he sell those somewhere online? 🤞🏽

[@TheOceansideGuy]

@@tonylamadora1200 The company is RIVA Racing. rivaracing.com/

[@badkarma2202]

Well how the intake work out???

[@TheOceansideGuy]

I gotta say, it worked out great! Huge difference between the stock intake grate and the intake grate by RIVA. Huge riding difference.

[@badkarma5776]

Will it cause issues with the IDF discharge?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

Not at all. You could even ask RIVA.

[@badkarma5776]

@@TheOceansideGuy did you notice or feel a difference with the riva grat?

[@TheOceansideGuy]

⁠ definitely! I have ridden both skis, one width, and one without the intake great from RIVA. It really keeps the ski tighter to the water.
