Hi guys, please note in the instructions i previously made comment to maybe use a tap to help with screwing in the 2G screws into the nozzel and cage, please DO NOT use one, doing so will make the screws too loose, and will chance them comming out over a period of time. Use a 1.48mm drill bit, and the screws will under a little pressure create their own thread, plus will not come loose.
The new instructions i have sent to Steve at OSE, and hopefully he may upload them onto the product page for everyone to download. I have replaced this in all future releases.
Again if you would like a copy please email me or PM me.
Regards MickComment

Here is a quick, rather crappy video I tried to take of my FasTEC Jet Pump conversion (http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ghlight=FasTEC)
I was trying to drive with one hand and film with my S4 with the other, so I couldn't really get her going. It was also really windy and rough (a lot rougher than it appears in the video), so it isn't the best representation. I got the boat out again yesterday on smoother conditions and it works really well up to a point. Once you get it really going, if the boat hops it will obviously lose suction, which causes it to lose thrust, which then makes it bounce again, and then the cycle starts. I'm going to fashion an intake grate for it and also some type of turn-fins to try to keep it a little more in control when turning at speed. It's a jet boat... it spins out very easily...

That aluminum boat is gorgous! How much does the bare hull weigh? Is it 4s or 6s? Looks like that T tap going to the ESC got a little warm...

Take care, and happy boatingComment
