One of the first things that *most* Polaris owners like to do is V-Force reeds. For a while now, Al & myself have opted to take another route. On the domestics, we've been using the snowmobile reeds found in the Polaris Fusion model. They are W style reeds like the V-Force, but can be had at a much lower price. Some modification is necessary to the manifolds. I've only done this on the aftermarket manifolds, but see no reason why it couldn't be done to the stock manifold. A horizontal groove needs to be cut for the reeds to sit flush with the manifold. If for some reason there wasn't enough material on the stocker, I'm sure it could be built up with JB Weld or Devcon or something similar. It's a simple task for the money savings in my mind. I also like the fact that the Fusion reeds come with a vulcanized rubber lip (so-to-speak) for sealing purposes. I'm sure Al can jump in here and add a few things.
yes they work great. what responds even better is when those fiberglass reeds get a little tired they can be replaced with carbon fiber ones. they work awesome. yes you can safely mode the stocker to fit these reeds or you can trim the reeds themself. i will post pics for all.
:thumbsup: I just confirmed with Jay that the price for the Fusion reed setup with stuffers for the triples is going to be $227.00!!! :thumbsup:
How's that sound guys? What a great deal for some trick reeds!!! MUCH cheaper than the other brand. (not that there is anything at all wrong with the others, but if you're looking to save roughly $123.00, now you have a great option!!!)
We all know how important it is to get air to our monsters. This purpose is two-fold. It obliviously has to happen for our beasts to run, but it also helps with heat fade. There are a few approaches to this, but as of late, we have been seeing a lot of one paticular crossover from the sled world. They're called Flow Rites and they're made by a company called SLP (Starting Line Products) They work excellent at letting air in and keeping water out. Water can pass if it hits them dead on with a lot of force, but they really do work well. I've installed them on the Matrix, the GPR and a few more places. They're available in 2", 2 1/2" and 4". It's really up to the individual's riding conditions as to where and even if you feel comfortable installing these, but I just wanted to share it.
Along the air intake topic, here is a mod for extra air intake that is protected from water intrusion. This works for any 2 seater hull before the 98 model year. It works on 98 and newer Pro 785 hulls too. These are stock Sea-Doo parts that are used and available from Doo dealers.
SL, I'm doing something similar with the SL750 project boat. Matrix is fabricating the plate and I'll post pictures after I'm done cutting it up.
Now I also just installed a flow right in my MATRIX to replace the oil filler as I don't want somebody trying to put oil where there is no longer a tank. By the way a beer.......er.........soda fits the hole just nicely as well.
Another little trick for the guys with the dash plate style boats is to just jack the plate up by using some washers under the plate on the 4 screws that hold it down!!! (it's the quick & easy method!!!)
Two 4" blowers (I used the Rule brand, 4")
One 4" silicone coupler
Two SS hose clamps
One waterproof switch (Randy has AWESOME ones!!)
One 10 amp inline fuse
Wire
You can also just install flow rites, plenty of air in and air out depending on where you mount them within the hull. Lets air in, keeps water out. Obviously you need to keep the direct harsh water out so try to keep them in an area with the least amount of water contact.

Due to the injection system and no available controllers your options are very limited.
You can strip away the injection system, go carbs ad you have a lot more options but it's a costly endeavor.
