It's a problem that has gotten steadily worse. I hadn't really noticed how bad it had gotten until my wife tried to drive it last weekend.
Yes, there is a clevis at the attachment point.
Thanks

Sorry, can't post pics. The boat's at the river. It's a 99 Advantage 20.5 classic, aggressor jet, place diverter with cable steering.
It's not impossible to turn but harder than it should be.
Thanks.

Steering is easy on the trailer and at slow speed. The faster it goes, the harder it steers. I've gotten used to it but it's hard for my wife to drive.

Has anybody heard that you can fix a hard steering problem by replacing the nozzle o-ring on a place diverter?

Thanks GT.
The gravel was as big as my thumb and as small as a grain of sand and the bottom of the bucket was full. It's a Marine Power bbc. Do you know how big of a rock can get into the cooling system?
Thanks

Jet Pumps / Sucked up alot of gravel
« on: April 21, 2014, 08:04:36 PM »
After running aground on a rock bar in the dark Saturday night, my wife (her hands are small enough to get into the nozzle) and I spent 4 hours digging gravel out of the pump (enough to fill a small bucket). Checked the impeller and luckily didn't find any chips or cracks. Ran the boat and everything seemed to be running great. No vibration, water temp was normal no signs of any damage.
My questions are:
Is there a chance some of the gravel ended up in the cooling system and possibly the engine cooling jackets? If so, what's the best way to flush it out? How can I be sure that I get it all out?
Is there anything else I should check out?
Any help will really be appreciated!

Thanks! Just rebuilt it and it's running way too good to tear it apart.

I've got light smoke coming from the breather on my bbc after shutting it down. Has anybody else seen this or know what's causing it?
Thanks!
Thanks!
