I'm a water skier and not a jet boater but I have a suggestion as I have been around and worked on boats all my life. A problem with jet boats in racing is actually the intake. When the hull is plaining very fast the water pickup is sometimes too high at the rear stopping enough water entering the motor and so the water gets hotter in the motor and setting of your sensor. Finnigan had a similar problem with his jet boat and was able to repair it by adjusting the water intake. Don't look at the exhaust or restrict the water flow. When marine motors are revving they need a lot of motor pushing through them and any restriction will not fix the problem. I hope this may help. KR

Taylor, I’m an old school boater, wood boats and my 16’ Checkmate boat had a air scoop facing forward to grab air as the craft moved forward, and another facing in the rear for air/ heat to escape. I did not notice a forward facing scoop. My thinking is the ambient air temperature inside the engine compartment rises enough to set the heat sensor off. To prove this, ride with your deck cover slightly open, use a block of wood, and something to hold the engine cover from opening while running top speed. This may be the trick. Let us know in the next video.

The one on the passenger side is facing forward and the other side is facing the opposite direction. My guess is that the sound deadening is trapping in the heat.

If they are running away, it’s because someone added a throttle lock, or they didn’t maintain it and shouldn’t have put it in the water in the first place.

Love the boat! I guess wearing a life vest is similar to wearing a motorcycle helmet, it takes using your brain. It's not a canoe, it's a fast boat! Geez Taylor, I thought you were smarter. I like your videos, I want to see more of them. Your life seems pretty cool, please do your "vest" to stick around.

Taylor there is a chemical called Ox-Out. It’s marketed as a flag pole cleaner but it’s like a more chemically pure version of Aluminum wheel cleaner. We use it at work for cleaning up aluminum weld joints. It removes the oxide layer and gives you fresh clean aluminum to weld to. You should try it!

EXHAUST ISSUE. What about putting the sensor on the bottom of the exhaust instead of the top where the steam is. It should then just be in hot water???? Billy J..... Queensland Australia.

Yup, also maybe shorten the bung it fits into so the sensor head sits in the muffler instead of in the tube because that could possibly trap hotter water/gas in the bung itself right where the sensor is..

Please let’s start on the drag car we all want to watch the drag car build 😊

Think you need that baffle that broke off in the water box. If I remember correctly it helps block the sensor from reading to high

@wobblysauce

2 ай бұрын

Some designs it aided with the mixing.

Taylor, I might have an idea for the exhaust. I think you're onto something when you mention steam, but I really don't think it's overheating. When you are moving at a slow speed water is building up in the muffler keeping the sensor cool. When you are running the boat hard, the same amount or a little bit more water is going into the muffler but a whole lot more exhaust and a lot hotter exhaust gas is going into the muffler. The exhaust gas is doing 2 things at high rpm. it's super heating the water and atomizing it since the exhaust is flowing through so fast. You improved the time it takes to set off the overheat warning by installing restrictors in the hoses but it wasn't enough to keep the sensor cool at wide open running. That baffle might have been installed to slow the flow of water through the muffler or keep the sensor in liquid. It's just a thought. Maybe relocating the sensor to a spot where it would be in a stream of water? Another thing you could try is, removing the sensor using an ohm meter and a thermometer heat up a pot of water, put the sensor in and read what temp the sensor closes. Is there a engine temp gauge? Is it reading hot when the warning goes off? Could you just eliminate the muffler all together? How about installing an exhaust pyrometer? I'm looking at some and their temp ranges are 0-1600° Other than the over heat warning the boat is really coming along nice.

I love that feature of Amazon that tells you you've ordered something before, I've ordered so many assortments of small parts just because they were on a lightning deal and then promptly forgot about them in a cabinet somewhere.

All the rain falling during the sped-up clips of making the frame for the dive platform around the 30:45 mark = sounds like a round of applause!!

For ROTAX..Drill out the restrictor washer to 1/2. Water should go from sand trap to a Y. oneside to intercooler to exhuast in. The other side of y to heat exchanger-exit hull. ALL 3/4 LINES

U need to get with JP racing. I bet he can help u get this lined out. Good news is a lot of the reson the exhaust over temp is there is to keep from rupturing the rubber hose and if ur only 20 degrees hot and its not the engine i would still go out and enjoy the boat.

It was 16’ wide, 5’ long and had several removable 3’ tall handrails. Took six months to build. Covered it with Plas-deck instead of sea-deck. Not as soft but much more durable.

The reverse spray is coming from that plate that is riveted on there, you need to seal the top cause its spraying out that crack thats there. That clip that your showed of the spray is a perfect match of what it would look like coming out the top.

In defense of using two sticks of tubing, its way easier to get it right. I bend pipes for a living as a electrician, and back to back bends 90's or in this case right angles are a mother fucker for a lot of sparkies, let alone a dude in a garage that doesn't know about shrinkage and deducts. Good job Taylor!

Still think you should put Pocari Sweat on the side for the JDM meme!

When you do re-do the deck mat, use the same brown as the steering wheel. Brown always looks classy on a boat

You're right about the color, still looks sick though.

When doing vinyl work I would highly recommend using something called Rapid Tac. Used it at the sign shop I worked at and it makes a huge difference when you go to apply it. Just spray the back of the vinyl with it before you start to apply it, then just work out the bubbles with a squeegee. Windex also works in a pinch but Rapid Tac works the best.

@lukelahnstein

2 ай бұрын

if its proper wrap vinyl you dont want to wet apply as its designed to go on dry and moisture can get trapped in the air release channels

Most high flow fast pumps have a hump in the hull ahead of the intake to smooth out the flow. It forces laminar flow around the curve and directs the water into the intake.Some race boats even have an upside down NACA Duct that treats water like air for a smoother flow. ALSO: Very early head gasket failure acts like your problem too.

I think a gold pinstripe between the blue and white would look good. Plus it goes well with every color on the boat. Nice progress!

Love the longer videos🤘

Careful with the restrictor on the output; you’re risking blowing a headgasket without a water pressure gauge. 12psi is the typical max you want. If it was my boat, instead of running a restrictor, I would run a gate valve (NOT A BALL VALVE) so you can fine tune your water flow.

Atmosphere for the Win

The diamond pattern in the cockpit and the non matching platforms throw my eyes off.

Looks way better even if you’re not in love with the shade of grey.

I really like all the white looks way better.
