remove and clean the metal mesh high speed fuel filters on the motor. Every 25hrs.
replace the fuel filter/water separator every 50 hours.
I apologize i don't know the exact maintenance requirements for the fuel pumps. i was told take care of your filters and the pumps will be fine. so far so good.

It looks like Cigarette is using a couple pictures of your 42x on their web page.

Thanks for the heads up!

Just finished 20 hour maintenance (not fun). Love the set up, turbo's run angry!

Cigarette gets an A+ zero issues.

Not fun....as in difficulty or $$$?

I'm glad to hear it has been trouble free for you! That makes boating even better!

Cigarette brothers & sisters,

Quick update on Project X. Great first season! Boat ran flawlessly. The 1100 / 42X package gets an A+. Didn't really press the limits but saw 120 mph. I suspect there's a couple more mph remaining as we never hit the rev limiter. What continues to impress is the quality that Cigarette put into these machines. Didn't turn one screw in 40 hours of use.

Hoping for a new build thread from someone to get me thru the winter.

Gary

Congrats on a trouble free season! Big HP always scared me because I'm not a mechanic. when I was doing Poker Runs 12 years ago most of the big power boats had a mechanic on board just in case, I saw many boats not make it to the destination. Good luck on next season.
