As far as I know, these units are made to OEM spec bolt patterns, so, it should bolt right up to your wear ring. Another difference, besides being made of SS, is with the additional 6 vanes, which help straighten out the turbulence. I think the vanes also have a little more 'kick' to their...

:mrgreen: :LOL2: :LOL2: :LOL2: Maybe something like "for when the #$@ hits the hull" Hahahaha!

From my understanding, the 12 vane stator gives significant performance gains over the OEM model. And again, with me operating in saltwater a lot of the time, one of those pumps would be ideal, since it's made of stainless and would resist corrosion, not to mention less wear due to it being...

As much as it pains me to say it, I haven't been running my jet boat much this summer. :shock: Performance with the new prop seems to be good, though. I think the SS wear ring will finally 'pay off' in a couple of years, when I don't have to deal with the issue of corrosion causing the...

I second the opinion on the seal tite. That's what I used on my jet boat. As far as pulling wires through it.... forget the fish tape....here's an easier method, ESPECIALLY if you decide to add a few more wires after the conduit has been routed, and there are bends in it. Get yourself a...

I'll ask around and see what I can find. If I find something, I'll let you know.

Maybe this would be a better option for going over the ribs? Might save you a lot of router work....

Being able to slide over rocks without worrying about damaging the hull. Added weight may slow it down a few MPH, but at least the hull is protected.

It was one heck of a deal, for sure. Unfortunately, a couple of years ago, my friend closed his shop doors and went out of the PWC parts business. When I bought my engine, he had another one for sale, also for 2500 dollars, it was the other engine from the same boat. Wish I'd had the money, I...

I bought my FXHO engine for 2,500 dollars, and I was told it had about 65 hours on it when I bought it, so, that's what I set my new hour meter for. Shortly after installing the engine, I also bought the YDS software/diagnostics, and sure enough, the hours were pretty close to what was on my...

Amen to that, Ranchero. Buy quality, and only cry once. Now that you have decided to get rid of that tigershark engine and go with a yamaha, you will be glad you made this decision. Much more fuel efficient, and much quieter, and more reliable. Engine rotation is the same, however, yamaha 4...

The driveline coupler is 2 halves like this: And there's a rubber 'spider' that goes between them, You will most likely need to cut new threads into the coupler, or possibly on your driveshaft, for it to work. You may also have to cut your driveshaft shorter if you go with a 4 stroke, as...

Might be oK for freshwater, but do not use them in saltwater, or you will have holes in your boat where the strong ties are, due to electrolysis/galvanic corrosion.

Take it from someone with a messed up sciatic, it's not worth trying to be a badass and muscle things around when there are easier ways of doing it. The old saying "work smarter, not harder", does apply. Once you mess up your back, or other joints in your body, like shoulders, there's no fixing...

Good deal! Sounds like you might have found the problem if your plugs are now showing normal coloration. That fuel leak was not only bad as far as potential engine damage, but it could have also been a potential fire/explosion hazard :shock:

Yes, there's a saying somewhere in jet boating that only those wishing for bad things to happen travel downstream. I haven't done any jet boating in rapids or rock gardens....but.....From my experience kayaking, I can see where that would be true for powerboats, as those submerged rocks...

Yes, the fuel system should be holding pressure. Check all your fittings and clamps. As a side note, remember that ABYC codes require double-clamping all hose connections (with the exception of factory carb fittings, etc) This way if one clamp fails the other one is still holding, and that's...

Running higher octane gas may or may not solve the problem. Typically when a hole is burnt through a piston, it's from a lack of fuel. As for a 4 stroke conversion, the main expense is the motor, and having to re-fabricate motor mounts for that engine. I paid 2500 dollars for my FXHO engine...

Good to know that a PWC pump can handle a rock, but it's still got to be an un-nerving sound to hear a rock go through it. I don't do a lot of running in rivers where there are rocks, but every once in a while we take it to a river like that. Mostly it's in saltwater. I've ground a few oyster...

How is your fuel tank vent set up? Do you have a check valve? If not, you should. The check valve will allow air to flow into the tank, but not out. This slight pressurization assures proper fuel delivery. Note that when you remove the fuel cap on jet skis, they are under pressure. If you are...
