LMAO.....patience young man!
I need to get the basics done before I can tackle the noisy end so I can ensure size ratios are right and everything fits!

Bill as you can see from the reference pics there doesn't appear to be as much plumbing attached to the jets themselves, presumably when they become land-based some of it becomes redundant? Anyhoo, that's not to say there still ain't a fair bit to do! Guy - Don't say that, it will lower the statistics for those that actually are...... |

Boots - I don't think so fella, the videos seem to show it as just the delivery system, having thought about it, I imagine the foam concentrate is actually what the previously made tank is for and water is just supplied through the manifolds....easier to plug into a water supply than have to worry about getting hold of foam eh? I've not seen any pics of it in action WITHOUT hose connection to the out-board mounted manifolds mate Cheers Jeffers Bit more new stuff follows..... |
