I was out in the gulf last weekend. it was a little ruff the waves were probably 3-4 foot but spread out. i was done playing and coming back in through the jetti and it took at about 20 secounds at high reving to plane out. But it did still plane out. and it did it again when i came out of a no wake zone. and i am the the only person on it. any ideas? and am i hurting anything if i take it back out this weekend to see if its still doing it? Thanks
 
Not totally sure where the wear ring is. im guesing that i take the intake great off and check the clearance inbetween the shaft and the propeller or the shaft and the crank case? or what ever is closest to the motor.
 
The wear ring is the plastic insert around your impeller, you can see how bad it is from the back but may need to get in there to fully see. You coming to the meet and greet?
 
Ya i will be at the Meet and great Hoping that i can get this fixed befor it but if not i will still find a way to get out there. if you think you might be able to help i can bring it up to you and I am willing to pay. so let me know i think i still have your # from the email you sent me. if not i will get it from carl
 
I am not an expert by any means but will help you any way I can, I am mostly a auto/boat mechanic...but have been rebuilding my 2000 gtx and have learned alot. Feel free to give me a call.
