There are no off-the-shelf kits, but you could fabricate something with a small tube and some JB-Weld.

Use the following parts from Yamaha:
quantity in parentheses() prices are each.

62G-62693-00-00 Spout (1) $17.51

62G-62695-00-00 Cap, Spout (1) $1.47

98780-05012-00 Screw (2) $0.76

92990-05200-00 Washer (2) $0.40

95380-05800-00 Nut, lock (2) $1.42

Thanks for the tips guys.

I think I'll go with the Yamaha parts. That should give me an identical stream w/velocity, quantity, & height of spray.

May not get around to this modification immediately, as we're going to Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee for vacation next week, but I'll let you know how it works.

I appreciate your responses.

Safest thing maybe would be to bore a hole in the pressure chamber of the pump, tap it for a "pipe threaded nipple" (Brass from Lowe's drawers in plumbing dept or NAPA) to slip your hose onto, then use the stern parts as mentioned previously.

**John Kubiak** · 07-01-2002, 05:12 PM

The "safest" bet is to use the parts I recommended, they attach directly to the inside end of the steering nozzle, and do not require any plumbing from the pressure area in the pump. They are for a 1995 WaveRunner III which did not need external plumbing from the pump to operate.

Sounds like a good "safety" mod as well. John, do you know if the parts you called out will also work on an '01 SD GTS?

**John Kubiak** · 07-02-2002, 06:13 PM

yes

**cnj** · 07-03-2002, 12:50 AM

:D Thanks John. **** , is there anything you guys DON'T know about PWC's??????? Thanks again. I hope to do this mod shortly.

**John Kubiak** · 07-03-2002, 05:22 AM

Collectively, no, we have many, many years of experience in the watercraft and/or powersports related fields.

But we all can learn something each time!

I have just installed these parts on my '01 SD GTS, but I won't be on the water till next weekend to test it out. Installation was easy. A couple of side notes: I did not see a need for the "washers", so I didn't install them. Also, I was given a slightly different part number for the "cap" from my dealer....all seems well. Yamaha describes the nuts as "lock nuts", they are not, so I used blue loctite on them. On my boat, I had to break out the dremel tool and grind away a small portion of the reverse bucket to allow the "shooter tube" a clear path. I'll post results after next weekend.

OK, results time......from my above post, you see I installed the parts John recommended. The only word that comes to mind right now is......AWESOME! John you were right on the money! It felt like I was ridin' a YAMA-DOO! The rooster tail looked exactly like any Yamaha out there....very cool. This is an excellent safety mod! Thanks again, John! :D

**SPSEX** · 07-29-2002, 11:17 AM

anybody give better instructions for assembly for the rooster tail for us rookies? on a 97 spx...do you have to drill? or just attatch?

**John Kubiak** · 07-29-2002, 10:18 PM

The washers are needed between the steering nozzle and the screw heads. this is to prevent stress cracks on the steering nozzle.

Installation instructions....Once you have the parts in your hands, it will be self explanatory.

Go find a WaveRunner III or a VXR, they have this exact style of "rooster shooter" installed as factory original, that will explain how to install it the best way of all
