sucks in air?

the engine and pump must be aligned and your motor mounts good, if like mine there is a metal piece in front of the carbon ring that has a clip in it to keep it from going forward, the carbon ring sits inside of the boot while the boot pressure keeps the carbon ring against the metal piece in front of it, there is a clamp of both sides of the boot....this is how mine is set up, yours my differ, however check and make sure your carbon ring is not damaged and that you do not have a broken motor mount

the metal piece does have 2 o-rings inside of it.

if your pump is sucking air, there are a few things to check, check your wear ring/impeller,make sure everything is sealed up to the pump and i am sure there are other things that I dont know

if you have water coming in around the carbon ring then this is a least some of the air sucking for sure. Inspect your boot for not only holes but tension/pressure. There must be enough pressure applied to prevent linking between the collar and the carbon ring. As mentioned before, there are two orings in the collar and there should also be a metal retaing clip holding the collar on the drive shaft. You will have to push the collar back hard against the boot to check this out. Make sure you are not leaking from the through hull fitting also.

After all that is good then you can look for other leaks like ride shoe or the seal on the jetpump to the transom.

good luck
