Various types of jet skis are great for outdoor activities. Modern models are quite expensive. How to make a jet ski with your own hands? First of all, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the model device.
Simple jet ski
The usual model includes a body, frame, stops, motor and stringer. Many jet skis use transom. Its fixation is carried out on the brackets. The filler is often used in polystyrene foam. Decks in models can be of different lengths. If we consider the upper stringer, then it is installed with a fairing. You also need to remember that the bottom of the models is glued with a protective layer. The keel of the jet ski is distinguished by wide stops. A hole is provided for the steering shaft on the housing. In case of breakdowns, do-it-yourself jet ski repairs can be done using a small set of tools.
Jet Ski
You can assemble a boat jet ski with your own hands. To do this, first of all, the lower part of the body is prepared. Nasal handrails can be cut by yourself. While working on the stringer, you will need a grinder. A grinding machine is used to sharpen the surface of the bottom. Particular attention at this stage is given to the keel portion. Do-it-yourself pontoon for a jet ski can be made from bars. The upper part of the body is fixed with brackets. The hole for the steering column can be made using a jigsaw. Ultimately, all that remains is to install the motor.
Two-float model
Do-it-yourself double-float jet ski assembly (photo below) is possible only on the basis of a wide stringer. The deck in this case should be fixed on racks. At the beginning of work, the frame is prepared directly. The upper stringer may be fixed to the brackets. As a filler, experts advise using foam. The lower stringer must be riveted. Under the hook, it is allowed to use the D16 profile.
Three-float model
A do-it-yourself three-float jet ski is made with nasal handrails. Many models primarily attach the end wall. After that, you can fix the lower stringer. Trapezoid in this case are selected a small width. The upper stringer is installed last. The do-it-yourself jet ski trailer can be made from metal sheets with a thickness of 1.5 mm or more. Fairing nose should be selected small thickness. Pads are most often used in polystyrene foam. It should also be noted that during operation, attention should be paid to the steering column. The shaft hole can be made using a jigsaw.
One transom emphasis device
Doing it yourself with one stop is very simple. For this purpose, a long stringer with a small profile is selected. The handrail is attached first. It is more expedient to make overlays from polyfoam. It should also be noted that experts advise against immediately installing the upper stringer. At the beginning of work, the deck is fixed. Lining is allowed to glue a small width. The keel of the jet ski must be well protected.
To this end, experts use fiberglass. In this case, the filler is standardly used in foam. Plywood directly for the housing can use the C5 series. The bottom is most often processed by a grinding machine. Patches should be installed at the top of the stringer. Transom stops are fixed in the keel. In case of malfunctions, do-it-yourself jet engine repair can be done by removing the rear pillars.
Model with several transom stops
To make a jet ski with several stops with your own hands, you will need a wide stand. First of all, the lower part of the stringer is harvested. At this stage, the surface of the material is processed by a grinding machine. Many experts advise using filler made of foam. On the back of the stringer, the pads are fixed. The on-board stringer is mounted on brackets. It is also worth noting that a ram will be required for a jet ski. The keel beam can be safely taken from the D16 series. When installing the deck, special attention should be paid to the skin. At the end of the work, a hole is made for the steering column.
Jet ski
Making a model with straight overlays is quite simple. For this, the stringer is used with a low profile. In order to assemble a jet ski, the deck of the model is first of all prepared. Next, you need to install the lower stringer. Experts do not recommend the use of a cheap seal. The handrail is attached to the bracket. The bottom of the jet ski should be carefully cleaned with a grinder. The pads are installed directly on the side of the stringer. A hole for the steering column can be made at the end of the robots.
Slanted model
To make a jet ski with slanting overlays will work out only on long stringers. To begin the assembly of the model is to calculate the length of the racks. If you select small stops, then the trapezoid can be used with a low profile. Before installing the lower stringer, the bottom of the jet ski is completely glued. In this case, you can immediately make a hole under the shaft to control the model. Decks in this case are mounted on racks. The casing is most often attached to glue. The upper stringer is recommended to be fixed on the slats. At the end of the work, it remains only to fix the transom. Doing the repair of a jet ski body with your own hands is quite difficult.
Fiberglass bonded model
It is very easy to make a jet ski with gluing fiberglass. Stringers are allowed to use different lengths. At the beginning of work, a board is prepared under the deck. The bottom is recommended to be well sanded. Experts say that the upper stringer is more appropriate to use with a small profile. The end wall should be fixed at the base of the frame. Plywood for these purposes is suitable with the marking C5. Hydrocycle pads are made of foam. Experts advise to carefully clean the edges of the stringers. In addition, it is important to carry out work on the installation of the steering column. For this purpose, a hole under the shaft is extended in the deck.
Double Fairing Device
If necessary, you can make a model with a double fairing yourself. The assembly of the device should begin as a standard with the preparation of racks and the future bottom of the model. The lower stringer can be fixed on the brackets. The upper pads are glued along the side. Many experts advise using the C5 series plywood for a jet ski. It is also worth noting that the cutout under the shaft can be made at the end of the robots. Pasting should be done very carefully. In this case, it is important not to damage the integrity of the stringer. A transom for this type of jet ski is suitable with skin. It is also worth noting that the stern can be made with a sealant.
Model with a long stringer
Devices with a long stringer can be made on the basis of a wide frame. For this purpose, not only a stringer is prepared, but also a board under the deck. Separately selected plywood under the rack. The lower stringer is fixed on the bracket. The fairing should be glued strictly horizontally. It is also worth noting that experts advise using large rivets. The shaft hole is made using a jigsaw. To cut the upper stringer you will need a grinder. Transom boards are allowed to be made from ordinary plywood. To install the tie rod you will need several holders.
Short stringer device
A model with a short stringer can be made independently. Transoms of different profiles are suitable for her. It is recommended to start the assembly of the modification with the preparation of supports. A transom will require a small stance. Plywood can be used in the C5 series. Experts say that the filler is allowed to be taken from polystyrene foam. For installation of overlays glue is used. The keel of the jet ski must be thoroughly cleaned. The upper stringer on the model is installed using brackets. The bottom of the jet ski is important to carefully polish.
Longitudinal edging device
It is very difficult to make a model with longitudinal edans. The main problem in this case lies in the selection of the stringer. For a jet ski, a part with only a high profile is suitable. If necessary, the racks can be done independently using a grinder. Plywood is better to use the C5 series. Experts say that the nasal grab should be done at the end of the work.
The keel should be behind the Redans. The upper stringer is fixed to the brackets. The end wall should be with overlays. It is recommended to use polystyrene as a filler. It is also worth noting that experts recommend using wide transom mounts. All this is necessary in order to remove the load from the keel of the jet ski. This will significantly increase the strength of the frame.
