I will rotate it and see if it helps.Actually, it makes no difference. Rotate that bushing.
One more question, I have heard that these boats cannot sit docked for a certain period of time because they let in a lot of water. Can they sit docked overnight?
I think I saw that JPass and Kernal also have two batteries. I am trying to visualize and get ideas =)
I do not have dual batteries currently, but I did just install a fresh dual purpose battery a couple of months ago. We run a stock stereo and usually get blown out of the water by other, louder systems when hanging at the sandbar.
In the event we want to play music for hours, we use our portable JBL BT speaker.
Alright, I thought I read that you had a two battery system. I have a rather large amp and good speakers and i do not want it to drain my battery.
That is what I am thinking. I do have a voltage monitor that is connected to the battery through an on/off switch located next to my stereo deck. I have not seen it drop below 12V even after about two hours of playing unless I have it cranked up high.Probably wouldn't hurt to add a second battery if you have the time and money.
C9R0J0, I was looking through some threads about adding a 2nd battery, and I read that you have a Blue Seas Sys. Do you have a photo of your battery setup?

Would love to see the set-up. I have no need for the ics and that seems like beauty space to use!I don't have any pics and I'm away from the boat at the moment.
I removed the ICS and put the second battery where that was mounted. I bolted a piece of plastic to the hull using the same bolts/holes as the ICS mechanism and then screwed the battery box to the sheet of plastic. As far as the wiring is concerned, I pretty much did exactly what Blue Sea has in their diagram, with the exception of the negative on the new battery. Instead of running it to the negative bus bar, I ran it to the existing battery. I used Blue Sea terminal fuses for circuit protection to the ACR. I didn't use the start isolation feature, but it would be easy to do. I havn't added a switch on the ACR ground as recommended for storage yet, but I likely will.

I have a 06 Challenger and pretty sure the impleller and wear ring need replaced. I’m thinking of doing it my self, I too could only find videos of skis and not boats for the replacement. I’d be trying to do the work with the boat on the trailer at the lake so no workbench or vice to hold the unit. Am I crazy for thinking about this?
I planned on removing the jet pump first while it was on the trailer.Hi Guyy,
The work itself is not very difficult and I do not think you need to be mechanic. Now regarding changing the impeller while it is on the trailer I can't see how you will be able to do that. I removed the jet pump housing assembly and used a vice with the spline tool and a breaker bar with the 5/8 hex to loosen the impeller. It was torqued down extremely tight.
By the way, the video on YouTube of the wear ring removal is almost identical to the same as the boat.

Anyone ever bought one of the shop manuals for a Challenger? I see some people selling them on ebay, just wondering what the quality is.

Did they change the torque specs for the impeller? Ours is 92 ft lbs.
