pretty new to the game blaster shat drive shaft at end of last winter finally got a in to g after motor been on ground all winter had bottom re gelcoated pinkl got rid of the matt black back to original purple for now shes ugly at the finest but it only going to be thrashed so not fussed on looks at all but need drive shaft and turf wheres best place to sort them?? ill get some pics up once i figure out how...
Yo bro best person to get all shaft & turf you need is a user called jetworks he will be back in NZ next month. Whats your location? In Aucks we are building a strong 701 blaster crew… holla any time if you wanna ride
Sorry for late reply in in Mt maunganui yeah I see few solid crew starting round the country now Where abouts in Auckland are you guys?
Get your shafts from AJSP or genuine, don't buy shafts that have been cut down and re splined which is what most people sell on here.
Not so many places in nz for parts ay? Yeah nah I could of done that already but og one has held this long so will get a half decent one poor thing on back burner again have to be the bloody hx this summer haha To many new bits coming out for blaster bank can't keep up
was flat black and rugged as when i got it 10min up river shat shaft not quite the poping pink i was hoping for but stands out i think
Its looking a bit pink! If your bed plates are lifting out you will need to glue them back down with some good quality epoxy glue. If you need some photos to help, just tell me what you want photos of and I will PM them to you.
haha yeah misses and daughter had a part in that one. Yeah how the hell do i get them complety out there both lifted alot but seam stuck as F on other half dont want to put bar through hull or brake plates ??
If they are half out I would just rough up the old glue and the underside of the bed plate as best you can and glue them back down. If you try to remove them completely you could have alignment problems once they are back in. Alignment is the key thing when it comes to splines chewing out on blasters (and superjets too, its just blasters do it quicker) I bought a cheap long shaft for my blaster about 5 years ago before I knew OEM was worth the extra money, but with good alignment it is still in good nick.
OEM has stopped making the Blaster long shaft. So when stocks are gone in the world, they are gone forever. It would be easier to buy a WSM after market one, which im sure Cathie from JetSkiJunk could help you. You should also replace your mid shaft at the same time. And as Dazza said ,alignment is critical for long life.
yeah i think i ordered one not sure if i did or not now though haha to many things going on at mo gutted i noticed plates lifting thought was just bout ready but sh#t happens just need plates done shaft and turf any body want stickers on this pretty bad boy send them my way ill rep that sh#t (ONCE IM GOING AGAIN ) least i still got the seapoo for now im off to river now gota run it in get ready for better weather and fun times haha
imo...nothing wrong with a cut down shaft, there's just people with super cheap tools that can't align shit and hulls that require a fuck load of shimming. be sure to use grease on the splines and also replace the rubber O'ring in the short shaft. A loose bed plate will chew a spline out as quick as a broken engine mount.
Cheers for that I was going to run it till they fell out but not keen on chewing shafts for no point will rip motor back out tonight and get it glued and glassed up was trying to rush it for summer but f it might as well do it properly just sux have 3 projects on go at once misses not to happy about bank balance
I have a cutdown raider shaft re-splined in kermit - Si sourced it from Jet Maniac in the US for a good price... get in contact with him on here and he may be able to help you out with contacting him, he is great for a lot of parts - Time to get on to producing some yourself methinks Dave???
finally finished ended up geting painted bloody girls!!!! got out kaituna cut sunday arvo haha got smashed few times who and where you guys ride round here (mount maunganui) besides matakana? bit dodgy on my own... whats the go at Harrisons cut? any body know?
