I just rebuilt my energized jacuzzi yj and I'm at havasu. The boat barley planes. Does any body know what would cause this?
-
Check your intake grate first for grass/ect... could be causing little or no water with the blockage.
-
Havasu has been bad on jet boats with all the grass lately
-
I just checked There's nothing in there. It's been acting like this ever since I left the launch ramp.
-
Check for a packing problem sucking an assload of air. Otherwise... :-\
Did you forget to install the wear ring? ::)
Exactly what does it do?

Do you have a droop?
-
A yj does not have packing but what's weird is that there is a little pin hole that I thought grease was supposed to come out of when greasing the bearings. But when the engine is off water is squirting out of it. I don't know maybe I need to frees it more? It's weird.

You said Energized YJ and yes it does have a seal pack, and yours has an issue...
FYI

Take a pic of the spot where water is leaking out... Once you stomp on it, the hole could be sucking air into pump.
-
Ya it has rubber seals. I agree it has a problem
-
Ya when its running no water is Cummings out so ya I would think that is sucking air. Is that enough air though?
-
The hole right behind the grease fitting
-
Is the hole threaded? If so put a bolt in it or plug it up an ck.
-
Take your clean out cover off(while on trailer/land) an see if you can move your impeller. Just to make sure the key is still in place.
-
Ok I'll check that stuff out and let u ou know. Thanks
-
What did you put the seal together with?
You cannot use petroleum products on carbon seal. Mineral oil or soap.
GT
-
It's bad seals. Happened to be. Then the bearing went out cause it slung out the grease.
-
Ya the other hole in the front part of the bearings squeezed out all the grease. So I'm thinking that's probably it
-
I just used marine grease but this problem started from the minute I put it in the water

You cannot use grease on a carbon faced seal..... Instant damage.

I rebuilt mine. What are you supposed to pack the seals and bearing with?

Quality lithium fortified grease, but the seal if it has a carbon face cannot be contacted by petroleum products. You must use soap or mineral oil... Only...

Any particular brand?
-
Is Lucas red n tacky #2 good.
-
Its what I use... good stuff. Use on trailer as well.

Why does this happen.
Only happens at full throttle.
-
Does water leak out of the hole on the other side when the engine is off?
-
It did before I rebuilt it.
-
Oh ok. Mine is leaking water and spiting grease out the same hole yours is. I just figured because the water was pushing the grease out. I'm pulling mine this week and putting new seals in it again. I think I got something wrong or put grease on something I shouldn't have.

Get it fixed?

Ya I put all new seals in it and it seems to run great!
