How did the install of the boot go?? Any tips? Access by the inside seems pretty tough... Thanks! I’ll be changing both since they were not winterized properly and the trapped water freezes and expands here in northern Canada
True, but I do explain how to do it. I would think people watching the video are intelligent enough that they don't need someone to hold their hand to change the tubes. I hope that I gave enough information that could help you or others to figure out what was not shown in the video. If your not intelligent enough, I'm sorry. I was able to figure it out, and I'm not a mechanic. So I hope you're smart enough that this video will help you in your endeavor to fix your seadoo.
@@bobreichel Some intelligent people may not be able to grasp the explanation of something they have never done before and need a visual. I’m fairly intelligent and was able to get all the parts out that I could ( flanges, vanes and rod) without having to remove any other major parts. Putting the sealing tube in is a different story. There is a large piece of flotation foam in the back of the ski that blocks all access to the seal tubes that was undoubtedly installed (the foam) before the engine and exhaust was installed. That’s the install part I hoped would be shown in the video. You shouldn’t have a comment section if you can’t take constructive criticism.
@alb9144 I installed the tube with a long stiff wire from inside by pushing it back till I saw it, then grabbed it with my fingers and pulled it out one side, then the other side. Mine had no foam inside of it. Was a tight fit but was doable.
Thanks
Welcome

I did have to install the boot from the inside as it was bigger than the old one but wasn't really that hard to do.
The name of the video is opas tube install...but I dont see where you showed how to install it

You do not need to remove the jet drive
You may know something I don't, but it still wasn't hard the way I did it, and I like room when I'm working.
