hi i have 2 rxp-x and i bought the competition block off kits so now i followed the directions to put them on my problem is on both my skies there frozen they wont go up or down i do drive them in salt water but i do rinse them after every ride with fresh anyway i spoke to riva tech twice i tried spraying salt away and other lubes tapping them alittle to free them with no luck. i was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what did they do for it, im afraid to keep taping cause it will lead to smashing.. so before i hual them all the way back to the dealer any help please... thanks

ralphie i have a 07 gtx limited and had the same trouble -- i run in salt water and the trouble i had was with sand --- park on the beach and the sand works its way in --i would have to work with fresh water the o.p.a.s paddles up and down and side to side a little at a time at 1st then steady work them free getting the sand out ---now i just have them locked in the up postion --with no trouble since

Actually, your problem is not that they're frozen. It's that they can't be used on RXP's or RXP-X's. The Competition Kits work only on RXT-X, RXT, GTX-SC and GTX 4-TEC models. Someone made a typo in the database our web site calls to for the description. I had it corrected.

Please accept my apologies for the screw up on our part. E-mail me directly to return them.

ok riva crew thank u for the notice or it would of made me go nuts trying to get them on, i dont have to return them no big deal about the moey but are those fins supposed to move up and down by hand or is it only when its in the water..
thank you

They do not move up and down on RXP-X and RXP models. They only move side to side when you move the handlebars.

ok so they dont move maybe then thats not my problem or maybe i dont have a problem at all but i dont recall the ski doing this in the first 2 weeks of operation, from 10-20mph the ski lists to the right from 20-30 she bounces back and list to the left then 30 above it will strighten up and b fine, it does this also coming off power. maybe its supposed to im not sure it just annoys me and im wondering if its right
thank u

Do you have any other mods or is your craft completely stock?

Also, does this occur when you accelerate slowly, rapidly, or both?

its stock, and only happens when i accelerate slowly. at 0-60 in 3 secs it dont have time to list lol... thanks

Actually that's not too uncommon and happens with other brands & models. The hull is trying to do it's job, but at slow speeds it has a tendency to "fight" itself. Meaning the design, its weight, weight of rider(s) & fuel, conditions, etc.

riva is still listing the competition block off kit for the the rxt-x or do they go up and down on that model

I'll try to make this as clear as possible for you! This is a list of the only Sea-Doo models that our Competition OPAS Kit will work on:

• RXT-X
  
• RXT
  
• GTX Limited
  
• GTX Supercharged
  
• GTX 4-TEC
  
• GTX Wake (all versions)
  
• GTI 4-TEC
  

Our Competition OPAS Kit does not work on any other Sea-Doo models.
