[QUOTE="rotus623, post: 428213, member: 15266"] Ok fellas, So I brought the boat out to Jim at JRJ. He took a look at it and said everything looked good as far as motor height, etc. BUT he trimmed the engine up and looked at the impeller and told me that the wrong side of the blades had been filed. Apparently the person that owned the boat ahead of me had filed down the wrong side. So when I saw the dull edge, I continued to file it down to sharpen the leading edge. He told me that the bottom edge of the blades shouldn't be tampered with and what my boat was actually doing was pushing water down rather than up into the jet housing. Dang man, expensive boo-boo!! Here is the impeller: [url=https://s803.photobucket.com/user/rotus623/media/Outboards/9D63673C-8237-4CF8-A63B-C49C81A2F0C7_zpsikvpooso.jpg.html][img]https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy317/rotus623/Outboards/9D63673C-8237-4CF8-A63B-C49C81A2F0C7_zpsikvpooso.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://s803.photobucket.com/user/rotus623/media/Outboards/09227ACF-5BA4-41E8-87CE-991CAA456F8F_zpsdey3axhe.jpg.html][img]https://i803.photobucket.com/albums/yy317/rotus623/Outboards/09227ACF-5BA4-41E8-87CE-991CAA456F8F_zpsdey3axhe.jpg[/img][/url] [/QUOTE]
