What model shifter is that?

Take a look at the words by Figure 3. This appears to be the lever that you remove and rotate 180 degrees on the shifter to get the correct shift direction.

 

Well, it is purple ;)

 

Looks just like the one sitting a couple blocks away, don't think it has moved much in the last couple years. But it has a matching purple cover.

 

And would a scammer really use an AOL email address? It's all Gmail these days ;)

Then if it is a shift arm and they reversed the direction the cable is coming from - can you remove the shift arm and rotate it 180 degrees? That should reverse the shift direction.

 

 

Is a 2011 shift by wire or was Nautique still using cables in 2011? Sounds like the solenoid wires were hooked up wrong if it is shift by wire (like a malibu from that era).

@Clydesdale - they already exist

@Horton - but it makes the engines wear out faster than other uses of the boat. There is nothing special about the engine in a tournament boat, its just a V8 car engine that is used in every other type of inboard and I/O boat imaginable. There are plenty of tournament boats around here that are used both as family cruisers and ski boats.

The main downside is going to be the hard life that the engine has had. Constantly being started up, full acceleration, shutdown and then repeat. There is a huge difference between a family boat that was also used for skiing and one that has not been used for anything but full blast passes. An interesting thing to do is to get a Diacom hour report, which will show you not just the hours but the hours spent in each RPM range.

Doesn't apply to non federal waters, that is a state law issue. I highly doubt that MN would ever enact a law that requires it - boating restrictions rarely get very far here.

This is the important part

The new law will be enforced by the Coast Guard in federal navigable waterways. Alexandria, Virginia-based BoatUS, the nation’s largest boat-owner organization, expects most states that don’t already have such laws on the books will amend their regulations to match federal law over the coming years.

Simple green

Why? No road between the 2 spots? Get 4 guys, pick it up and put it on trailer. Repeat when unloading.

You would be surprised at all the things there are medical codes for. Only has to happen once.

Another thing that might work is snow ski boot hinge bolts.

So, I found this old rollerblade boot, half of a Look binding that I used in highschool to hold the back, a couple of drawer handles to hold the front - seems safe to me.

I prefer mine in the factory location - center of flip open window. When I drive most boats I am looking over the windshield frame, having the mirror towards driver side makes it hard to see.

Bigger the better for me. I have a 1.125 and if what I do to my motorcycle grips are an indication, a 1.5 would make me even happier.

22 for cats? Pellet gun would be plenty and it is quiet.

@BraceMaker , shouldn't have to sand pack if you are using a real tubing bender. That trick is for using pipe benders when you don't have a real tool. Used to see that when people tried building roll cages with hf pipe benders.

Could be, but it is typical to use glue of sorts to hold grips in place in other applications. I don't recall spinning any BMX or motorcycle grips and I typically mounted them with hairspray.

 

I'm assuming a guy making a few dozen to a couple hundred handles a year didn't have a huge amount of custom parts going into it. Tubing, some grip material and a tube bender.

Stuff like this: https://www.gripworks.com/rubber-tubing.htm

or this: https://www.gripworks.com/foam-grips.htm

 

Remove the grip, put a new one on. The same thing you do with any other piece of sports equipment that has a rubber/foam grip over a metal layer.

Silly question, but can't you regrip and restring the handles? Or is there something super special about their grip material and you can't get ahold of it?

Funny that the old downhill mantra was ski to die

You can use it in a site - for free if you allow them to spam you site with ads. Otherwise this is a paid tool

Not sure what they would think about spawning a page directly to google or if there is any rule against that.

It definitely had mass. My issue is that I tend to steer left handed just pulling down against a spoke with my thumb and a light grip. The stock wheel requires you to actually grip the wheel tightly and makes it harder to index it to the correct spot.
