Sorry I haven’t gotten back. I checked things over and couldn’t see anything wrong. Started it up and ran great. so I put it in the water waiting for the problems to start. they never did. Ran the boat for half hour and not one issue. I guess it healed itself sitting in the driveway…….

Okay thank you

I purchased a 2003 Sportster and when I turn slow or fast the shifter wants to pull back into reverse. I have checked the cables and shifter. The hook that is supposed to keep the boat in forward while the throttle is up, is there. And the pin is on the shifter and it catches. I rebuild built...

One reason I went ahead and did the grinding (which wasn’t much) was because it was at the end of the wear ring so the gap didn’t matter. It was not an OEM wear ring either.

You may find that once you install the wear ring that the impeller will not fit into the wear ring. I had this issue and I ended up speaking to the impeller expert. he explain that when the wear ring is installed there can be about an inch of it that is several mm Smaller) at least on the...
