[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 292327, member: 10361"] Thanks, I'm set up for powder coating and that is what I did with the nozzle and reverse bucket. Tough stuff that even tolerates salt rather well when done right. The issue with cable lengths wasn't really too much of an issue. The Seadoo steering cable didn't have to get modified, I just made a longer rod end section. The reverse cable took a few minutes to cut a couple inches off and re-thread, easier to do that then try to figure out how to shorten the pump... The only thing I did to the Yamaha nozzle was to drill another hole for the steering cable to bolt to, this increased the travel of the steering. The Seadoo pump needed some work for the Yamaha steering nozzle to fit over it though, that isn't a part one would typically have wear out and need to replace. Since I'm using the Seadoo hull and pump, with a Yamaha Waveraider nozzle and Yamaha Waverunner trim cable, there wasn't any way to get around modifying it to work as my reverse cable. I probably could have bought one the right size, but it was too easy for me to tweak the one I had. (The Waveraider reverse cable was shot) I did add detents to the handle assembly so it will hold the nozzle just enough to give me neutral. I dubbed this thing FrankenJon for a reason, I've used 4 different skis for parts so far. lol Can't wait to get it in the water and see how well it all works together. Still lots of work left though... [/QUOTE]
