Project Remove/Install Mats + Decal/Oxidation Removal On A 17yr old Waverunner - Hobby Mechanic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 жов 2024
- Got a new toy to add to my fleet. Sold off my older 1996 Yamaha Waveraider and Wave Blaster 760's and turned around and bought this 2004 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO 1100. Just looking to get this ski looking and running good before the season. Follow along!
In this video I remove and install new Hydro-Turf foot foam mats as well as remove some of the aging graphics. In the end, the ski looked pretty good but the process was difficult.

I just finished removing my traction mats. I tried a number of approaches I saw on UA-cam. They all were not very good. I then tried 3M’s adhesive remove. It worked great. I used Googone on the last bit of glue. Worked great. I had scratches like you. I used a 2 part epony to fill deep scratches and painted with 2 part marine paint that was a perfect match.
Your video was really good and helped.
Happy to hear! Yeah, I thought the other UA-cam vids made it look way too easy. Or they just scratched the crap out of their gelcoat and didn't care. I've been thinking that masking/taping around the mats first could prevent the scraping. Maybe next time!
She lOOks tough with out decals up front . !
Instead of adding on more Matt’s with glue, tape off where you want to put your Matt’s and sand it with 80 grit and spray on bed liner. It’s waterproof and will never fade or peel off because you have a mechanical bond with the 80 grit sand scratches and you can use whatever color you want !
Thanks for the video. My next project
Good luck!
I have not done anything near this size but you can go to a auto paint supply store and buy a rubber wheel that looks like a big eraser. They use it to take off the adhesive from badges without hurting the paint. Again, nothing this large.
Great vid!
Thanks!
Looks great, so im about to pick up the same ski, (2 of them) but 2006's and Im probably going to do the same thing you just did and the straight pipe too.
Nice! I think they're known to be a pretty reliable motor and platform so a great ski to buy used. If I were to do the mats again I would mask off around the mats pretty heavy before I start scraping them off to prevent scratching. Good luck!
@@thehobbymechanic47 Thanks for the tip, and yea thats what I hear also. My buddy is deeeeep into ski's and he swears by yamaha. I used to have an old 2 stroke seadoo and that thing was comically bad lol. stocked to get in the water with these. im closing on a new house in 3 weeks and it was part of the deal with the house. low hrs and meticulously taken care of.
I put the Riva freeflow exhaust on my 04 FXHO Cruiser and love it!
Cheers
was looking to see how you removed and replaced the rear molding. I cant find any infortation on that anywhere
I drilled it out and secured it back in place with galvanized bolts and nuts.
Can you make a new jet ski video
I want to do my traction mats but man does it look daunting
Some videos make it look easy and some don’t. Not going to lie, starting out was a little rough. It was easy once I got the hang of it though and finished product makes it worth the effort.
