    2 Fish Bins. When we are done, the wet stuff goes in one and the dry in the other. Not super stylish but hey..

    @NoProblem @TallSkinnyGuy yes the seat brackets are bolted to a metal frame below the tank. The head of both bolts are covered by the brackets which we are trying to undo however! When we try undo the nuts, the bolt turns - but we can't get access to hold it because its 'inside' those hollow seat brackets!

    @rab I did exactly the same thing! Buckles however instead of laces. After about a season the buckles began to loosen and the roller blade liner started to deteriorate. I forked out for the real one at that stage because I liked it so much!

    @Jody_Seal how exactly do we remove it though? Its a bit of a jigsaw puzzle down there!

    We are trying to drain the tank on our 196 to clear the water and muck out of it. How do we go about it? The end goal is to try and get rid of a miss that seems to be really bad when we haven't skied in a while and then fades away after a few passes. We've tried cleaning the distributer cap, running fuel cleaner etc. We thought the fuel cleaner solved it for a bit but it is now back worse than ever. Any help will be appreciated!!

    @emac I knew what you were trying to say!

    @wtrskior‌ I was told the hole on the vapor was for grating cheese?

    Pfft I think you've got option 5 all mixed up @ozski‌

    Haha Backpaddock Lakes @jipster43. The reason I was interested in Long Range Lake is because it's only about 5 mins from our house vs. 35 to Backpaddock. We try to ski all year round but winter skiing is hard to get enthusiastic about - especially when it's 9°c and all you have is a springsuit!

    @klindy‌ definitely do!

    @jipster43‌ we are 10mins west of Waipukurau. So about one hours drive (South) from Napier. Are you heading in NZ's direction?

    Perhaps @ozski! I'll check what we've got planned over the next few days and then message you.
  15. doonez
    @ozski obviously but unfortunately its dropping into winter for us nzers also. Rugby season is well under way for me (I'm last year at school) so not much time in the weekends for skiing from here on in. I'm actually on a preseason rugby tour in Australia and we are in Caloundra for the next couple of days. That's not far from you is it?

    Perhaps that is meant to be "35 off"? If not, it means he has skipped 35off for some unknown reason (he hasn't missed any other line lengths?)

    I'm pretty sure they all seem too small at first and you just have to force the fin in before it sorta molds to that shape.

    @skijay believe it or not (I don't) I actually did. I can vividly remember feeling the water catch on the window at the front of the vapor!
  19. doonez
    I add weight to the front of my ski by straightening my front leg (forget that straight back leg rubbish)

    I control the timing of it by changing the timing of bringing my inside hip 'through' (forward?) off the second wake. Moves the COM to the inside. That's how I see it in my mind anyway.

    Crosswinds are so much harder to ski in than head/tail IMO.

    Bump... I have been running a few 28s and done a little bit at 32 recently but would like a bit more help from all of you before the end of the season (southern hemisphere)! Do you think you could offer me a little more advice? Would really appreciate any input! Here's some clips... (that's the farthest through 32 I've been (First set with Horton's Vapor settings) Edit: Ignore the bimini strap

    HO did an adapter plate so you could mount Exos to standard hole patterns without drilling. If this system is the same pattern as Exos...

    I will only jump off the swimboard if the boat is moving forwards. (I do the majority of my skiing with the same driver).
  25. doonez
    I think @bmg73 is correct. I have the same setup and the front of my plate is slightly lifted off the ski also. It has always been like that and to me it's no big deal. It's simply the carbon flexing as the horseshoe pulls the plate up when the boot is put in and the toe levers it up slightly
