[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 292265, member: 10361"] Today I got the neutral and reverse situation figured out. I had picked up an older JS 650 Yamaha jet ski in the beginning that had a reverse bucket as part of the steering nozzle, so I adapted that to the Seadoo pump. When I decided not to use that ski for this project, I went ahead and tore that nozzle assembly down and restored it, powder coating it all, so I could stick it on Ebay later. Glad I had done that since it looks so perfect on the back of the boat now. Had to make up a longer rod end for the steering cable so it would reach. Used the Yamaha steering cable for the reverse bucket, had to make some adjustments to shorten the end that went to the nozzle. The Yamaha control section got fitted to the console, the lever operates smoothly with strong detents at each end of travel. I plan on marking the area of the control for where I anticipate neutral to be, so I can take it apart and add a dip for the detent ball to hit so I won't have to hold the handle in the neutral position. I also got much of the fuel line routed and got the water separator mounted. Made a fuel tank vent from a stainless bolt I drilled down the center and then drilled the side of the head till it met in the middle. Getting to the point now that I'm seeing the need to get it registered so I don't have that holding me up for the maiden voyage. [/QUOTE]
