  1. @DWThanks for the feedback. Demo programs are tricky in Canada due to the crazy cost of shipping and the poor exchange rate at the moment. I’d love to do it but, unfortunately it isn’t financially beneficial, from my experience.
  2. Anyone have any thoughts on the original Neo? D3 has them on a good sale and I’m considering the upgrade from my original NRG (which I LOVE, I just find it a bit slow behind the boat). There doesn’t seem to be much anecdotal information out there on these skis. For what it’s worth, I’m about 150 lbs, 5’8 skiing at 36 running 32off occasionally.
  3. If you go the movie buoy route but don’t want all of the extra buoys, we just use empty 2L juice jugs on about a 6” rope so they stay way down beneath the water but accomplish the same purpose.
  4. So turns out the issue is NOT fixed and I’m starting to come to a loss. Here’s where I’m at: Injectors cleaned and rebuilt fixed for about 2 outings (a test and 1 ski set) then the issue come back. I did lose the lower bad spot but the upper one around 3600rpm is still there (again, fluctuates with load a bit but stays within a couple hundred rpm of there). Pulled the injectors again to see if more dirt got in, cleaned them out a bit, back in and it worked great again for about the same amount of time. That led me to think either there’s dirt after the fuel filter(this one has the one on the engine) OR it actually has nothing to die with the injectors and actually is because I’m draining the fuel rails and subsequently the pressure in the system. I decided to try just draining and then running again and that seemed to fixit for a quick test outing but then was back pretty quickly. The fuel pressure is showing around 50 psi at key on and 46 at idle (wasn’t able to check WOT as I was alone and I’m not quite redneck enough to try rigging up a workaround for that). I can’t see the fuel pressure being just slightly high like that causing this big of issue but maybe? Does anyone know of a cross reference for a fuel pressure regulator for the monsoon 325? The indmar one is quite pricey once shipping to Canada and exchange/duty are applied. Any other ideas on what to try? I’ve replaced the crossover lines and it hasn’t changed anything (I haven’t made up the X pattern ones yet but nothing really changed or improved with the indmar lines so I’m not sure it would do any better to do the other option? Plus the fact that cleaning the injectors or draining the fuel system is temporarily fixing the issue leads me to think it’s not an issue with those lines. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
  5. Just though I would update this and say that I had the injectors cleaned and rebuilt and that fixed the issue! I still have a rubber crossover line on its way but the injectors certainly fixed the issue for me!
  6. @UWSkier That indmar part you reference, do you just need to do the one at the front of the engine? That's what I was assuming but then I looked at another boat with the same engine and it appears to have it on both ends
  7. Did you try the fuel pressure tester trick before you replaced it? I just tried that and it is still happening. Just wondering if that's a definitive test or not. @UWSkier Also interested on your take. Still happening with the fuel pressure tester on the Schroeder valve. I did notice though, that it doesn't happen when in neutral (with or something the tester in place) although I sort of suspected it wouldn't as it seems to increase in severity with more load (I.e. More people in the boat and/or skiing).
  8. So you had to criss cross yours instead of just using that indmar part?
  9. Can you elaborate a bit on the criss cross? Thanks!
  10. I have a new to me (obviously) 99 Response lx with the monsoon 325 efi engine and at roughly 2600 rpm it starts surging. As I bring the throttle up slowly it continues to surge and not increase rpm until all of a sudden it takes off and settles at around 3100rpm. If I am throttling down, I can throttle down to about 2900 rpm and then it drops to roughly 2600. Everything above and below those numbers seems and sounds smooth UNTIL I'm skiing/there's more weight in the boat. At this point I can't be sure what all of the numbers are as crew weight and skier weight vary but the other night I was skiing and my ski partners we sling at 32 and 34 mph and the boat worked fine but then when I skied at 36mph it surged the whole time. So far I have changed both fuel filters, added some methyl hydrate to the fuel tank in case of water and changed out the spark plugs. My next option would be cap and rotor and plug wires but I wanted to hear other people's thoughts. I also wondered about throttle cable issue or a tps? Something else worth noting is that I added perfect pass this spring. It was the third or fourth time I've installed it and I've never had issues before and this happens with pp on and off so I doubt it's related but worth noting. Any ideas? Here's a link to a video I took tonight. Listen closely when it reaches around 2550 rpm so you can hear what I mean by surging. Thanks!
  11. Any chance you have that instruction manual handy?
  12. Thanks! I'm guessing they're not. To be honest I'm not sure but it would seem as though they aren't. How do you hold the eyelets together without using some sort of bolt? Or do your diamond sections not separate? We glued our pipe sections together, we just have the eye bolts there to hold the mainline in place and hook the boat guides and gates to
  13. Does anyone happen to know (or happen to have a SS mainline not in the water) what the size of the eyelets are that connect together at each pipe? My course is submerged at the moment and I need to replace all of the eyebolts that go down through the eyelets and pipes and need to know what size they are. Memory is saying they're 1/4 bolt size that goes down through?
