Super Jet Pump/prop damage...

[Mike Matheson]

Somehow I managed to suck something up about 50' from shore, no idea what it was, but it took out the prop and did some minor pump damage. I'm gonna replace the prop but I'm not sure how much damage is too much in the pump.

http://imgur.com/a/8wK1O There's some pics to explain what i'm talking about.

PIC 1: One of the vanes got a little messed up on the leading edge, I'm thinking some time with a Dremel can fix that right up.

PIC 2: The wear ring also has a few scuffs in it. Can I just sand it smooth again with a scotch-brite pad?

PIC 2: Also when I was separating the pump sections (1st time since 2005 when the ski was new) one of the little tabs popped of and took a bit of the wear ring housing sealing face with it. Could I just put some JB on it?

PIC 3: general prop damage, seems like a good reason to finally buy a Hooker 9/15!


Thanks for any help!

That prop is garbage. Id clean the wear ring and stator up and run it.

that prop was garbage before you sucked up that rock. file that chip in the stator, dont touch the wear ring and put a low pitch stainless prop in there. whats that crack/gap in the wear ring housing?

i bet that stator damage was the prop failing.

Yeah, props headed straight to the recycle.

Chip in the wear ring housing is from one of the little tabs on the side snapping off while i was pulling the pump apart.

I imagine the stator damage was from whatever took out the prop or a chunk of the prop. I'm just gonna clean it up and blueprint the pump while I'm already in there...

Hooker 9/15 is in the mail!
