    dunno what its like it hasn't been on that water since April when i installed the foot holds and i just finished putting in the Riva Kit

    yea its a wet pipe. kit was about 3400 all up with custom and freight charges it would of been cheaper direct from Riva but they said any order coming to NZ would have to go through watercraft world


    ive been trying to get out but the weather been real crappy lately

    I just ordered some parts from riva and they said nothing about having to go through watercraft world. Thank god for that. I hate that place.

  15. Vman

    Vman Member

    the switch was 75us and i still had to add some heat shrink to it it didn't look that waterproof. but hey i got it on the handlebar it mount under the stop start switch

    Hate to be a kill joy but Iv had a bad run with those switches. I had two of them on my last super jet and they both stuffed out real quick. I was a tad annoyed cos they are high dollar switches!
    I found the old sealed toggle switch to be the most reliable.
    Hopefully the extra heatshrink makes a difference. Be keen to hear about how it last for ya!

    bildge switch

    hey Vman those bilge switches work grate but you have to spin the start/stop switch forward from the standard position to get the bildge switch in a better position. I will post a photo of mine
