Too much power!?!?

Thank you dozzer. How much power do you think you were making? I assume the pump was being loaded and unloaded. Would it move after the mishap? Since there are no pics of the bowl, did you lose it? It appears that the crack would not have been bad enough to sink it.

I was just getting it dialed in (or trying) it was cavitating out of the hole so I was messing around with loaders. When this happened there was no loader at all I was seeing if the loader itself was blocking the water intake when it raised up out of the water. There was still a little cavitating but it hooked up alot better, I took it for a spin around the lake nailed it...dam did it set me back in the seat, I was just getting ready to get out of it and I felt a small vibration, then it was over...what you see is what I took home with me....I talked to the guys in the bait shop and they said the area it happened in was about 65 ft deep. So I am just going to have to suck it up and buy all new stuff.
As far as power goes I am not positive, but it is around 850-900hp. I had the pump working great before I moved up to the bigger bower, but I moved it up a couple inches when I put the rail kit in it, and really was just starting to play around with it, so in answer to your question  yes the pump worked well with the old setup i it, but with all the changes I did at once...it wasnt anywhere close to being like it was.....All that extra power screwed everything up lol

Sorry for your loss. The bowl breaking off was the second to last thing I was thinking would happen.
RE the new blower; I think the big pulley is supposed to go on the bottom, I'm just saying.
The boat sure looks nice. Thanks for your input. Reality trumps rumors and stories every time in my book!

Knowing Dozzr, the pulley on the bottom is the size of a trailer wheel.......... :screwy:

yup, Lmao the bottom is 43 and the top is is 37. I am hitting 7lbs. boost and am good with that. I tried the smaller puleys in different combinations but end up with over 10....so til I get the pump back together, I am stuck with the jumbo size setup.
