Toy Jet Ski - Motorised and RC conversion

Toy Jet Ski - Motorised and RC conversion. This project has been running in background while I do other things so the build has taken a couple of months. The previous jet boat using this water pump was incredibly slow, this new one looks similar but I will still try it in a pond or lake soon. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or checkout my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Main components - Child's plastic toy jet ski. I used Soudal expanding foam filler but there are many brands that will do the same job. Here are the eBay listings I have used, they are probably well out of date. I am not endorsing these products I am just answering the questions people have asked.

To find them follow my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or see my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
