    Would love to know what this would have cost you if you had dropped it off at the shop compared to your monetary and time investment.

    so I used 2- 3.5 inch clamps on the pistons to compress the rings and with my bro inlaw we slip the jugs down over the pistons one at a time in about 10 minutes .....Voila..... happy camper......but wait tightened and torqued jug to crankcase.....then placed exhaust mani gasket and tightened exhaust mani to jugs and some of the bolts did not seem right.......one was down right not going in ......so executive decision remove jugs and find out what the issue is.....turns out shop blasted top and holes and shit was left in threads I think.......so back to have them tapped and get me a new bolt that stripped.....thank god it was one I could get totally out of the exhast mani.......a wee bit pissed so I had another beer and called time out.......btw the clamps worked well and I decided to change my oil filter and had to remove the entire exhaust pipe with silver manifold attached , the big black pipe to the orange rubber hose joiner hidden behind jugs, to get to it, it was just the rubber boot and a cooling hose hidden on the underside at the front .......wow what a pita for a filter.......way easier to work on the indmar motors

    jugs on Happy camper but wait things went too easy>>>>>>>>

    So , I could not leave it till tuesday , my tap and die set up north....so I bought another at my favorite rental place Canadian tire...... Tapped out all holes on the jugs, there was sand blast crap in the holes. I could not get a bolt to match the one that stripped so I re die'd it and wham , I'm back in business.

    first, left mag cylinder in sleeve....note clamp on right one holding rings in place.....now as my trusty assistant holds the jugs steady, I pull the right one up into the cylinder until I feel the clamp slide down the piston and the piston slide up into the last cylinder. Remove the 2- 3.5 in hose clamps and seat the jugs down onto the crankcase and gasket

    Jugs back in place and rest assembled. All bolts torqued in pattern and to specs. I also replaced my fuel filter ( tough to get those oem clamps off, replaced with hose clamps) and did a pressure test as it went from 80 psi to 120 psi ...a possble culprit for lean condition.

    also did a compression test 125 on both cylinders, pretty good considering nothing is worked in yet

    Update. Ran my seadoo for about 2 hours this weekend. Smooth and 60 mph top end. I then pulled both plugs to find them both tan in colour , the way they should be. Rebuild appears to be a success.
