CRACKED IMPELLER
« on: June 06, 2007, 11:36:49 AM »
So Im trying to get my boat done for the big trip to avi in july. Motors out replacing a stringers and yanked out the pump. Tear the pump apart and find that the impeller on the exit side is craked in two places on the same fin. The one in the middle of the fin is about a quarter inch long and the other one is where the fin attaches to the dish is about half an inch. Now my question is can these cracks be welded and reparied. Because the rest of the impeller is in good condition and actually looks like it had some work done to it before i got the boat. Any help would be great thanks.

I would say no......honestly, now would be the time to slap a new one in there. Why risk it and have to rip everything out again?

Give Jim Rich a call over at Emanon Performance Marine 928-542-7712 (Tell him Brad from SoCalJetBoats sent ya)

He rebuilds these pumps all the time and might be able to give you some insight on repairing vs replacing.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

I have an aluminum "B" cut impellor that looks like new but is used. It's in a 12JC on my garage floor right now. There's something wrong with the pump, not sure what's wrong with it. It makes a slight scraping sound when it's turned. Also, the pump's intake was cracked at some point in it's life and it was professionally (looking) repaired. $140 for the pump (pump housing, impellor, impellor shaft). Maybe you know how they come apart ( ? ) and you can buy the impellor from me for $40. I also have a stainless "B" cut impellor that's in a 12JB on my garage floor, turns very tight - not sure if it's set up that way or if there's something wrong with it, I'll sell you that pump (pump housing, impellor, impellor shaft) for $625.  Maybe you know how they come apart ( ? ) and you can buy the impellor from me for $450. I also have a 12JC that's still in a rotten hull and I need to pull it out. That pump hasn't been turned by hand as of yet but the engine runs and there are no abnormal sounds coming out of the pump. Aluminum "A" cut impellor with a some chips in it, nothing major, should be ready to drop in and go for $220 (pump housing, impellor, impellor shaft). In my Rogers I have a 12JC that was rebuilt and had two lake trips put on it, new aluminum "A" cut impellor, RTR drop in and go, needs to be pulled out of my hull, for $350 (pump housing, impellor, and impellor shaft). That pump performs as new. Maybe there's something in here you can use/help you out. 619-787-7987 Rod thanx@cox.net
