  1. The ball stops the rope catching in the water when the tube overruns the rope.  The rope can get slack in it when the tube is out wide. Can give the riders nice whiplash if the driver doesn’t notice.  We never used one, and still don’t with my kids.  You can learn to drive and adjust  throttle to stop the rope hitting the water.  

    I would get two single tubes. Don’t know if the first one would get airborne with that weight, unless going crazy speeds.

  2. The repair looks the goods to me. The area around it may be a bit weaker now but the weld beads look good.  The higher crack, probably from the original impact, will need some attention.  What size boat is it?

  3. My electric battery is in the front hatch.  The weight of it and the electric is like having a small adult sitting up the front.  Don’t notice the weight on the water, only when moving the boat at home.  I also have a 25lt tank close to the front.  The battery has coped a bashing through moreton bay and offshore mooloolaba numerous times and is still going strong 3 yrs later.

    Thanks Doyley. I will post up some pics of my brakes and see if anyone can work out a way for me to make it easier to change the bearings. Bear Rings are not my thing. 

    I have to remove the calipers, which can be annoying to line back up
