Took a break from the 60 and took the Kawasaki Jet Mate to Mallacoota for a weekend.
It went awesome. I thought i was in some trouble for a bit coz it wouldn't get up on plane. We'd been drinking at the pub for a few hours and still had to get it back to Gypsy Point which is probably 40 minutes away. I had to jump in the water and turns out the jet was full of sea weed. Once cleared we were off and running!
The misus fishing from the jet boat.
Everything back together! Wowee that turned out to be a much bigger project than anticipated.
I swore before I started I was just going to replace the essentials and not go to deep or paint everything like I did with my 40 series.
Well I went deep and painted everything again.
I really wanted it all back together before my trip to the Canada/USA. I fell short so I had to leave it in parts for 6 weeks while I was in America.
Putting it back together after being drunk for months overseas it was very hard remembering what went where!
It's lucky I did a good job taking lots of photos and bagging everything clearly. I would have been in a lot of trouble without the photos.
I documented my America trip in my 40 series build.
I found this genuine pad that sits on the bottom of the Ice Maker from PartsSouq. I can't believe they still had one in stock! It just dampens your cans/beers from bouncing around in the fridge too much. I had never seen one in real life and didn't think I'd ever find one.
