I'm about to install the pump shoe in my Footrocket and I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. My JD shoe had to be ground quite a bit to fit in the cavity, but I have it in there now. I'm wondering about the bonding process. You apply the adhesive to the bonding surface of the shoe, as well as all the way around the ring, set it in place, install and align the pump and then screw down the shoe. Is that right?

Also, I have a 148 skat pump but the shoe is only 144. Should I grind the shoe to 148 to match the pump? Is it worth it or would the performance difference be negligible?


Thanks.

Thanks, will do.

Nobody can confirm that what I wrote is the correct way to install the shoe? A little advice from someone that has done it before would be much appreciated.

bolt the mid-shaft in and prep pump shoe and surface of hull apply a generous amount glue on pump shoe then install and squeegee pump entrance and wipe off excess glue install pump with drive shaft into mid-shaft with no pump rubber seal ring check pump is square with pump shoe and let dry.Do not screw pump shoe down. Nick Barton Quote "the threaded area of pump and midshaft are jigged and correct" the hull surface may not be.
