Installed the harness and added the snorkel but it's bent. It's just too long to fit properly. I got it from 914rubber.
Anyone else have an issue with their snorkel being too long? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/134.gif) Ok let the jokes rip but, tell me how to fix this please. It looks hideous! @Mikey914 - Any suggestions?  |

Do a search on snorkel. This has come up before. IIRC, hole to big or too small. Snorkel too long, etc. There is a difference between the years. Personal snorkel issues are nothing to be ashamed of. It happened to lots of people that bought this snorkel.

My work around was to put what I call the "reverse foreskin fold" into the end to shorten it. Hey, you started it!

Hey, you started it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) So @bbrock What your saying is a reverse circumcision? Are there Mohel's that specialize in this? I think that is the route I will attempt. The only other fix I could come up with would be to cut it and try to glue it back together. Your idea is probably safer. |

Didn’t look stock but looked secure. |

I had the same issue. Get a rain tube grommet from 914rubber and fit it in the slot at the top of the snorkel. It fits the hole perfectly. You'll have to revisit it a few times because the edge of the small grommet will want to work it's way out of the slot around the snorkel. It's a nice tight fit once in place and looks great!

I ran into the opposite problem, my snorkel was too big to fit the hole in the shelf. I did not realize there were different sizes and spent quite a bit of time trying to get it in. After researching i ordered a new snorkel from 914rubber and it is a little long so I just curved it a little, does look the greatest but it works. Hopefully I don't get fired for typing this from work. Jim |

Curving is the technique to use you can loose an inch.
We are working on the late snorkel tube design now. Tooling is about 2 months out depending on other projects being completed on time. Mark |
