i did same thing, only my shaft is 42" long and i had 1 end of it machined down so that the end of shaft fits into the splined part of driveshaft/flywheel that way i can service many models of sea doos with varying driveshaft lengths using just the one shaft, no need to cut into multiple pieces and have the plastic coupler part of it
@@terryscarlett2431 it depends on your ski. You need to take the length of the driveshaft (including the rubber bumpers) minus the length of the small piece you cut. It doesn’t have to be exact you want there to be a little bit of a gap for you to slide the plastic bearing over

Does every seadoo engine have the same shaft size and number of splines?
@@kenbrake2828 majority of the older 2 stroke sea doos i have worked on seem to be that way,
@@destroytheilluminati770 thanks for the info!
Where would you get that machined at?
I’m gonna try this on a 4 Tec engine and see if it works. Got a 2006 GTX but don’t wanna spend $320 on the sbt tool
Great 💡 idea, 😊
Thanks for sharing
Awesome fix bud. Don't mind if I use it.
Dude that’s genius, I need the link to order one for my 951 gtx. I can’t figure out how to order this from McMaster carr

36 inches -18.25 inches-2.75inches= 15inch remainder, not 18 inches, correct? Or am I crazy.
Why did you say you cut in three pieces why would the pipe that goes in the pump can’t be longer
My man!!
😂 what’s up
