I am looking at installing pods on my jet ski. Can anyone give some advice? Pro's and cons. I like the idea of having extra space and stability, but I don't want to compromise the performance and handling of the ski. I'm also not very fond of drilling holes in the ski. Which product would you guys suggest?

Jetski Pods a must, for sea fishing. Contact Racetec Yamaha in Pinetown. You can get clip on tubbies, 2 min on and off. In the sea they provide awesome stability, and much needed storage for fish and gear. In the dam they clip off in 2 min, and you ski is back to original.

I have just had some fast pods installed on my Seadoo.I cannot believe this new machine,and how much easier fishing is!Stability is now amazing!No more pitching and rolling,fishing in rough seas a pleasure.Only drawback with mine are they are bolted on,so would be a mission for me to take them off.However,I don't play around on dams with my ski,so it does not bother me that my pods are fixed.No more fish bags blocking up the gunnels.Do it,do it,do it!

Racetech tubbies are the real deal. They pioneered the tubbies and the rest copied them.My son has had two Jetskis and put tubbies on both. Racetech tubbies don't drag in the water. Speak to Pierre at Racetech in Durban he knows what he's talking about.

Inflatable slide on & slide off buoyancy pontoons cost a third of the price & provide sufficient flotation so that you can stand upright anywhere on your jet ski https://www.facebook.com/pg/airfilled/photos/?tab=albums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXokETo0-mE http://www.rubberducks.co.za/removablepontoon.html Attachment: 1 - Added buoyancy creates stable fishing platform.JPG (Downloaded 45 times) Last edited on Thu Apr 5th, 2018 05:03 pm by Casual Angler |

The point of installing Tubbies is not only to increase stability but also to provide storage, work surface and a place to mount rod holders, lunar tubes,live wells, safety bottle cages etc.

I can post photos of every single feature that you have made mention of, which has been fitted or attached to the inflatable version . . . which cost a third of the price of a set of tubbies This photo depicts a 1m quick release detachable bag, armoured on the inside for fish fins & water proofed with a wetsuit grade zipper I can furnish you with details of dozens of long standing customers who are very satisfied with this solution . . . Especially in lieu of SA Maritime Safety Authority’s jet ski related Marine Notice No. 18 of 2015 dated 27 August 2015 We obviously both have vested interrests in the respective products/solutions . . . so lets leave it at that?

Geez relax. I have and never have had vested interest in ANY jetski or jetski product. Your post mentioned how wonderful your pod are for stability without mentioning anything else. Why 3 people would want to walk around the edges of a jetski is beyond me. You were punting stability as your products strong point. I was merely pointing out that stability is not the primary reason for fitting Tubbies.We have considerable experience in my family of jetski fishing and have used Tubbies since they first came out. They have since been copied by different people with varying degrees of success. My opinion is if you want a rubber duck buy a rubber duck. I'd be interested in seeing a lunar tube, safety bottle cage and live well attached to your pontoons Last edited on Fri Apr 6th, 2018 09:05 am by plugger |
