Pump sealing

[Ben34]

On a superjet pump do you silicone the pump sections together? Stator, wear ring, and reduction nozzle. The manual says to use silicone but I see a lot of people use nothing

I only put it on my pump seal.

Ok it’s actually on a krash. I don’t believe they have pump seals? Just curious as to why they don’t

I use the Permatex Ultra Grey, it's supposed to have higher vibration resistance. Not so much to seal the sections, they won't leak without it, more so to displace the water to limit the white corrosion build up.

Manual calls for yamabond so mikesx is on point.

Never silicone the 3 sections together. It's unnecessary and is a bitch to get apart . The reason the krash don't have a seal is because the shoe bolts directly to the wear ring.

I don’t put anything personally but yeah just pointing out that OEM calls for sealant.

How does the 701 pump attach?

Pump seal is seated around wear ring and is squished up against the shoe.

I've had them be a bitch with or without sealant especially at the stainless dowels, in my experience at least the sealant limits corrosion in salt water only boats, 99% of my riding.
