Thank you so much jhjesse. I just sent out an email to Westside requesting their help with this part. Have a great day and I will let you know how it all turns out.

Does anyone have a link to an online shop where I can purchase a fuel cap for my 2000 Challenger? I have searched ebay with no luck. I know the part number, just searching for a store that will sell a new cap. Thanks for any help you have to give.

Here are pics of my impeller that will get rebuilt.

After weighing all my options I have decided to go with a stainless liner in the pump. Not completely thrilled about it, but many people do it and it works for them. The cost that Maverick charges for Delvin is just too expensive. $750 for the package and then shipping to boot is way too much...

I am a bit surprised that you are not hitting over 50mph with a 240hp mercury. I have read other tests on this boat with the twin 800 series rotax motors (220hp total) with a top speed of 48.7mph GPS. I have another friend with that 240hp and it is a monster of a motor. His is a 17' Sugar Sand...

I have owned my 2000 Challenger 1800 with the 210hp Merc for a couple years now and on a good day I have hit 47mph on GPS. I discovered some excessive pitting on my wear ring housing and impeller and look to fix with new impeller and and wear ring re-finish soon. I know I am loosing performance...

Well, I have taken my pump off as I usually do every winter. As suspected I have a lot of pitting within my wear ring housing. I am looking at options. Have found many debates online whether installing a Delvin aka. UHMV wear ring or a stainless ring is better or not. In my research I found...

I know for a fact that my wear ring housing has some pitting that leads to power loss. The fact that they offer a full bore out and then insert a wear ring insert is worth the money I think. Then the boring of the stater and jet nozzle is a bonus. I would love to hit the 50 mph mark. I am...

Has anyone had this procedure completed on their jet pumps? It looks very interesting. If so, advantages, disadvantages?

1) They posts above are right about the rich condition when coming off high RPM's. It's not the "Jetting" per say, but it's the emulsion tubes. They inject air into the main circuit, and help maintain a proper mixture. When you chop the throttle... the vacuum goes high, and the air flow is...

Well, it has been almost 2 months with no issues until yesterday. It wasn't terribly humid out, but it was acting up all day. I made a couple changes to the bilge blower since May. 1) installed a new blower. More powerful. 2) Ran the blower tube more toward the carbs. Also have been running the...

All my upholstery in my Challenger 1800 (yr.2000) is in great condition except the front bucket seats. Cracking, fading etc. It seems that the bucket seats were heat press fitted at factory rather than sewn and stitched like the remaining bow and back seat upholstery. My friend has the same...

Thanks for the responses fella's. I have been on the fence about running the blower while on plane or not, and for the most part I have been running it before and during the engine is running. It has not been quite a problem lately, however it is still evident occasionally. Only twice so far...

Yep, I just don't understand it. I have several friends within my close circle that have jet boats with Mercury power. Yep, I just don't understand it. I have several friends within my close circle that have jet boats with Mercury power. They are extremely popular around my area. Any mechanic...

I totally agree with you. However, Colony Marine is an authorized warranty repair dealer and that was the experience I had as written above. I would really like to find a mechanic that has the experience and knowledge of these specific engines.

Thanks everyone. I have been leaning towards Poppy for a while now, I just wanted to make sure that the quality was good.

Hello. New to this site and with a question. I have been in search of a trustworthy expert mechanic that really knows his stuff when it comes to mercury jet motors. Two years ago when I had my powerhead replaced, I went to Colony Marine in St. Clair Shores. In the end they did a fine job...

Can anyone recommend a very good mechanic in the Metro Detroit area that I can speak with that really knows these engines? I have been in search of a mechanic that is the upmost expert on Mercury jet motor engines for a long time. Seems to be they are hard to come by.
