Superjets will circle when you fall off unless the steering is tight/obstructed and sometimes if the idle is very low. The problem with low idle or hold on methods is that they don't take into account what can happen if the throttle sticks for some reason. Do a search here. There have been...
If the midshaft rubber has separated from the bearing housing or the seals are bad, air from the engine compartment can make it's way into the pump. You don't want ANY air leaks anywhere in the driveline.
Not the air causing low pressure. The prop blade has a low pressure side and a high pressure side. Low pressure in general lowers boiling point. Water boils at a lower temp in Denver than it does in Miami. As gas(air) comes out of solution(because of low pressure) in the water it can scour and...
Not ripped of at all. I'm sure it's a well made switch. I would seriously think about what you'll say in court when you have a runaway boat that kills a couple of children. I also have seen Yamaha switches fail and I believe the Kawasaki is a better solution than JSS. The failure rate on Kawi...
You'll be fine with just a dial indicator. You could be MORE precise using a stop and a degree wheel, but for our purposes I think it's close enough. It's also difficult to use a degree wheel that's big enough to be super accurate with the motor still in the boat. I've fooled around with a...
