Rock Proof boats is right in Marysville on the Susky. They make a top notch boat locally for you. \

Would anybody happen to know the part number for the Mercury water pump kit for a 2010 60/40 jet 4 cylinder? I am struggling with different numbers. Thanks

Bought a new boat from him two years ago. Just called him a couple weeks ago and told him its time for another new one. He treated me great.

It is an Alweld. .100 I don't have any pics but am planning to go fishing tomorrow morning and will get some then.

JohnnyRazorhead, How wide is your boat ? Console located where or stick steer ? Does it plane off pretty quick ? Thanks in advance !! It is a 1652 with a center console . I have a 9 foot front deck and a 4 foot rear deck. both are level with the sides of the boat. It is carpeted...

this is pure speculation as I do not know for sure but I bet the Blazer would be faster and lighter than the alwelds. I bought the alweld for some custom features I wanted,but the Blazer definately looks more sporty. I think it is a lighter guage aluminum than alwelds (which wouldnt make any...

I don't have the smart guages, but mine burns way more than 4.4 gph. I wish mine got that good. I only have a 10 gallon tank in my boat. The mercury website is way confusing. I had the same questions when I was in the market to buy. T & S would tell me one thing but the mercury site...

I'm not real sure on the GPH but I can get about 42 gps miles on 10 gallons of fuel at near wide open throttle with 2 people in a 1652 Alweld. Just over 4 miles per gallon. My boat runs 30 to 31 gps mph so that would be near 7.5 gph......I think. :?: .

My 4 stroke turns 5000 rpm. My personal take on the 2 vs. 4 stroke on jets is very little top end difference if they are turning the same rpm. 2 stroke has slight speed advantage due to less weight. 2 stroke is much quicker out of the hole and onto plane. 4 strokes get atleast 25 to 50%...

They come from mercury with the jets already attached and carry the full mercury warranty. They have the medium jet on the 60/40. the 40 EFI jet has the same displacement as the 60 EFI motor. Both are 4 cylinder also. The mercury website is very confusing to say the least. If you think...

I have a 2010 60/40 Mercury 4 stroke jet on a 16 ft. Alweld. I bought them new from Trout and Sons. It is a 60 powerhead with 40 HP at the pump. They do come standard with a stainless impeller. My boat is completely decked out with carpet, center console, livewell, trolling motor, etc and...

The cooler water should make the jet run better. It may not be a jet problem, it sounds like possibly a carberateur problem. ( the bogging down, that is ). If it did not cavitate before, something has physically moved or there is something in the intake. Good Luck.

Sweet looking ride. I'm jealous!!! :D

Does anybody have any tips to get peak performance from your jet such as sharpening the grates etc.?

Thats what it appeared to me also. I have owned a 16 and two 23's with both props and jets. I personally never had a problem and never even heard of a prob with the smaller ones till the post above.
