Has anyone tried the LYNX aftermarket housing ? I can find it new in France for 129 euro. (no import tax) is it durable ?

Thanks i'll have a look

Dear friends and co forumists, After having dealt with my pump wear ring, and gunwale, I now took off my mid-shaft housing from the hull. Before removing it i was persuaded i could get away by replacing the ball bearings and oil seals. But having a closer look tells me that the rubber dumper...

Yep! The result is good !have a look

polyurethane foam.....

Doing some progress.... wooden struts is the only way to keep walls on place.

When you say "piece of junk", do you mean in terms of performance or durability. ? Now that I removed the wear ring, i cleaned the impeller and looks in good shape. I do not intend to do any crazy performance racing, so is it necessary to replace it ?

You are lucky because mine seems to have elasticity and pops back in First, I opened a hole of 12 cm on the inside gunwale. The foam is bone dry by the way ! (see pic) Then i tried with a wood log to hit it hard outwards, but it acts like a spring and comes back in. Then I tried pushing it out...

Crashcourse316, this one is for you. I told you that I was going to take o picture of the ring and raise it like a Trophy ! Enjoy ! :D

I finally made it ! :cool: I had a can of WD40 on hand and blasted the seem repeatedly for almost 2 days. It did work, and with a lot of patience and a lot of hammering it came apart. Thanks to all of you guys for giving me the right tips !

Yes i'm with you. The problem is custom duties. they can charge whatever they want... and usually when they see a parcel from the US they will charge anything from 100 to 200 euro tax no logic behind it ! Thieves ! then if i add transport + customs i might end up at the same price as a European...

Haha ! you made me laugh. It is very true, I'm on a mission and i will raise the ring in my hand like o Trophy. Just for you Crashcourse316 :D !!! an you have a very poetic and Epic way of writing ! Congrats. I like people with subtle humor like yours

I think I will need a complete pump.... Can't take the bloody thing apart. everything seems to be "welded" together from corrosion. I even broke on of the "ears" trying to separate the ring from the shroud (see pic) . soaked, heated, etc.... think i'm going to give up

THANKS ! Hhhmmmm -- 425 for the Hooker :oops: Ouuuuch ! + 150 the ring = 575 euro Oooops I bought the whole ski for 300 ! :p (and I have not even started the engine) looks like it's gonna cost me more than I expected hehe ! :mad:

Thank you guys, Any recommendations for an affordable prop and ring ? (mostly interested from european shops as I leave in Europe) if i order from the states, it's gonna cost me a fortune in shipping and customs.

bought a +10 year abandoned 92 SN recently. removed the pump and looks like corrosion has done its job :eek: The impeller is literally stuck against the wear ring and doesn't move a mm (tried also with a wrench) Question 1: best way to take them apart without too much further damage ? Question...

Test

Great info !! thanks. I will try it in the next couple of days

yes it makes sense ! there is increased heat in that area compared to the left side

interesting thanks! (shame that they don't really tell us how they fixed it ;))
