Default steering mod for kawasaki stand up skies

In the past year I have had quite a few people with kawasaki stand up skies ask about doing my steering mod.Unfortunately the mod was a lot more difficult than the sit down or jet boat installation and I did not want to leave anything to chance so I was not offering this for stand up skies unless I did the installation myself, this was obviously a problem as most people were not in my location. I now have a process where I can do the mod and make it easy for the owner to install. It does however require shipping me the nozzle and ride plate, so that I can do the mod and ship it back. I actually purchased two different stand up skies and cut out the pump section of each hull design so that I could use that as a jig to ensure everything was set up properly. So two brave jetskis gave their lives for this project LOL

That's what I would call a capital investment. Hopefully, you got your money back when you sold the parts you didn't need!

Jeff,
I'll be installing the CobraJet this weekend, will submit the review after the February 5 Freerida - look for it about February 7th or so.

I hope you have your engine all taken care of.You people are pretty brave to be riding in the cold ocean this time of year, brrrrrrrrr,, I am spoiled if the water is below 60 im out , but we can't wear wet suits because the air is too hot and you die if you stay out of the water with one on, I have one but it is just too hot.
