[QUOTE="painlesstom, post: 291147, member: 10361"] Made some more progress. Finished laying down the fiberglass and got the motor and pump installed. Since I planned on using the stock Seadoo steering helm, I took an old set of drag bars from my Harley days and cut them in half to make my steering stick. Perfect length and a nice slight angle forward. Problem came about since I am mounting the steering assembly backwards from it's original orientation made the steering response opposite.. So I had to pull it all apart and re engineer the whole assembly so right is right, and left is left. Made up an aluminum brace to tie the bracket back together. Steering stick will use the stock Seadoo throttle and I'll be adding a momentary contact thumb switch on the end which will start and stop the motor. Still haven't decided where I want to put the fuel tank, so many different ways to skin a cat.... Seat is balanced for the picture, but pretty much where I intend on mounting one. [/QUOTE]
