McMaster Carr washers......

[meeper]

I have just redone my SC. It had seadoo cup washers and two shims and was holding at 13ftlbs. Ended up only putting two McMaster washers in, no shims and having to take heaps off the thrust spacer to get it set at 18ftlbs. They are much thicker than the standard washers. Now I just hope they help with holding the tension. I didn't change the clutch washers.

The ones in my 08 kit are the same thickness. i ended up removing two shims as well and replacing with just two mcmaster washers and shaving a little off the nut side spacer to get 16lbs

I installed the metal washers on my stock o6 rxp and torqued the nut down to 22 ft/lb and my slip is 135 in / lbs which is high per the oem manual.......is this all right or should i get new spring washers?

ski only has 30 hours on it

thanks

I have an 07 RXT w/ 66hrs on it, I removed the SC today and was going to upgrade the washers to Riva washers because I have lost a lot of top end, I am guessing that it has to do with the SC slipping... not sure tho, I just put a new wear ring in and that didnt increase the top end.. any ideas? All suggestions welcome. Thanks, Chris

you still have the ceramic's in there? if so GET THEM OUT. if not, start by checking the slip!! and go from there

I add McMaster spring washers, C3 wheel & Riva washers, Just checked the slip after 18hrs of riding in the chop most of which was at WOT. I set the slip at 10.5lbs and is still at 10.5lbs

are there stiffer springs washer then the one in the store i had to add 2 today toget it to 11.5flbs from 8flbs. so now i have all mcmasters...

REVIVE: Im with Dockside, I just put in new RR washers, and I have all Mc springs, and 1 shim and Im at 137 in/lb, I put the 2nd shim im at 171 in/lb, i put 4 Mc springs, OEM, and 2 washers and Im at 138? If I stack other than the ways the manual says, is it going to harm anything? I tried SC((())Nut no shims and it was like 186.

As long as you face the first and last washers against the Scer like this Scer )you can configure them any way you want to get the slip you want...You just need them two washers to face that way so the front washer pushes against the thrust washer, and so the collar and lock nut pushes on the last washer applying the tension on the system

Ok this is becoming a great read and I am now going to get mcmaster washers for my 05 stock charger and the riva washers
What should I be setting the ftlbs at on the stock charger
I do ride in a lot of chop most of the time so ski is always out of the water
