sounds like your pump is slipping, need to go through your pump, too much clearance between wear ring and impeller..... just my .02 ralph

Well if he had an outboard he wouldn't have this problem... ;D Besides outboards don't have diverters ;)

Post by: GlassCutter on July 21, 2007, 10:44:04 AM: I know none of you beatches cares but I GOT UP THIS MORNING!!! It took a Mastercraft to do it but I CAN STILL SKI!!! Its been almost 3 years since I last skied but I can still cut glass w/ the best of em (Still a legend in my own mind too). 6'7" and 300 lbs is a bit much for my boat to pull out but I guess I can buy horsepower easier than losing weight huh. WooHoooo!!! Going to Parker/Big River tomorrow Wooo-Hoooo

Title: Re: could not get a skier up
Post by: beerjet on July 24, 2007, 10:06:11 PM: First things first , I'm with ralph on this one . Definatly a clearance isssue. Take it out of the boat and take it into a reputable boat shop to have it redone . Best money you'll ever spend on your boat . You can throw more HP at it and it wont do a damn thing without a properly working pump . Trust me on that . Hell if you have rebuilt , you'll probably gain a few MPH , and be able to pull up a skier.

Second As far as me getting it up . I have a problem keeping it down so whatch your back boy and girls ... >:D My daddy always told " Try anything twice , except insest and country line dancing ."
