Driveshaft to Impeller Retaining Ring?

[hellz_wings]

Hey guys,

I'm re-assembling the driveshaft and at the pump side the parts diagram calls for a retaining ring. Is this something that is stuck inside the hull insert that I just cannot see? Here's the pic and part#204120132

to clarify a bit: I removed the driveshaft and did not notice this ring on the driveshaft. Does it insert into the hull fitting (#16)>? Thanks!

That 1/2 circlip fits into the circular groove on the drive shaft,,,you have to move the stainless housing back and press the clip into its groove,,,this can be very difficult on a newer ski since the accordian bellow produces a lot of forward pressure,,,put a rag under the shaft in case you drop it,,,you,will never get it back being stainless and non magnetic.

Is this the c clip that holds that stainless ring that turns with the driveshaft and rubs constantly on the carbon ring? If so, i have that one, i thought this one was a different one.

Wait no that’s #7… i’ll have to take a look at this again but i don’t recall it falling out or anything..

There is only 1 circlip,,,if you can't move the housing(i don't know what it is called) back far enough,,,I usually mc gyver a lever,,,pry bar,.wood,2x4's,,,etc,,to push the collar back,

The c-clip where you need to compress the rubber bellow is #7 on the diagram, here:

And it is there to hold #10 in place.. im not sure what #18 is in the diagram.

Here is a pic of the retaining ring that im referring to:



Where does this go and how does one install this? It's there in the diagram, I just didn't see it anywhere taking the shaft off (unless it's somewhere in the bellows maybe since I didn't remove that?)

wait.. is this something that seals the driveshaft and that useless blue plastic driveshaft protector that is not needed really??
