- Remove the engine. It takes 15 minutes to remove the engine from a roundnose and will make the job ten times easier.
- Measure twice, cut once. Using the gray trim ring, locate the engine compartment hole. I found by notching the ring I could get it lower in the hull. Obviously as you can see, the notch I made was a little big.
-While drilling the hole from inside the engine compartment, the holesaw is going to be stopped by a phillips screw where the bulkhead is connected. It must be removed. I used a 1/4" boxed end wrench with a phillips #3 screw driver bit to remove it. Its tough to reach in through the hole, but be patient.
- Poor in the two part foam once the valve is completely installed, screwed into place, and the epoxy has dried. With the engine removed, the jetski is pretty light. I stood it on its tail and leaned it against a wall to poor in the foam. A little goes a long way! I used the foam supplied by blowsion.
