Enter my co-worker whom offered to sew me a cover fit over the neoprene. The reason why I did both and not just have a vinyl cover is that the neoprene helps to keep the cover in shape and the vinyl over time wouldn’t do that. She did a wonderful job and I’m very happy with the results, bless her wonderful heart!
The tape on the front was mainly to help with the after market cover I’d ordered from Blacktip. It’s made with heavy duty neoprene and looks great on its own. But I didn’t much like the look of it on the Sea Doo.
After several attempts to just use the marine vinyl I had left, not even contact cement would stick to the offending rubber. I used some Gorilla tape to reinforce some areas and used some to cover the front.
Well the handle bar cover was in poor condition to say the least, apparently the materials used did not handle UV rays very well and they start to break down over time. Searching for a colour matched one in good shape was a nightmare so I decided to make do and try to work with what I had. Oh and they stink terribly bad, LOL
Let the fun begin
Well all the parts are in, now time for the carb rebuild.
Got the Pop-off pressure tester last week did the test and sure enough it would not hold pressure and popped off at 15 psi(between 22-29 with 26 being ideal), so it’s on to a carb rebuild. Needle valve was the culprit so I ordered one and it came in last week and the rebuild kit will be here sometime this week.
The other piece.
As you can tell by the pics above Daves seat is quite ratty, so I took it upon myself to do something to help Dave for a change. Once I removed the cover the foam was waterlogged and a section needed to be replaced, which believe you me was a pain in the ass to mold and shape to the contours. The second piece was a nightmare with all the angles and once done my fingers ached for a day or 2 after,LOL. Alas though I plodded through and this is the end result.

Yup, boat and trailer. Has a 70hp Mercury on the back. The Sea Doo’s came with the double trailer as well.
“Marina prices! Ouch. Oh well they don’t really take all that much fuel do they?”
Both gas tanks are 33L or 8.7 US.gal, so about $30.00 to $40.00 a fill up depending on the octane. How long will that last who knows but at WOT id image not to long, lol
