So I posted a while ago about my pumps having a bunch of chunks missing from the vanes right before the venturi nozzle. The boat is a 1998 Sportster 1800 with twin 720s. The OEM pumps are 140mm plastic ones. So called a local shop, he set me up with 2 brass pumps (for $275 total!!), with new bearings in them, I just need to swap my impeller shaft, impeller, and cone, then put fresh oil in and fresh wear rings. So simple. Total time was about 3 hours, and that was including cleaning everything up as well.
Here is the old pump, you can see broken parts ok, biggest chunk was about the size of a golf ball.
Here are the new pumps. Brass wont chunk out....I hope.
New wear rings installed from SBT.
Impellers are in. Nice and tight clearance with the SBT rings, much better than the OEM seadoo ones in my opinion.
