I moved the motor up to the last hole. It’s definitely looking better but not even with the grate pin.
Hopefully I get to run it this weekend and see if I notice any improvements.
For reference, I just got the impeller sharpened and the foot back on. The T square is flat along the hull and the leading edge of the foot is about 3/4 of an inch too low now. I think the boat should perform a little better up one hole, hopefully. The center keel sits right in front of the foot...
Just curious if anyone has applied the wetlander hull cover on their jet boats and what their thoughts are on this product?
I’ve seen some reviews on this product and others as well but this one has my attention
Thanks
That 60/45 jumps on plane so quick compared to my previous Tohatsu 50/35 4 stroke. I’m not overly concerned with top end speed, just getting it set up correctly. My cousin has a James river jet with uhmw hull and a 90/65 2 stroke and isn’t much faster than my boat, like 26 mph upriver
The top two holes in the transom are above the water line but the bottom two are right at the water line so I’ll definitely have to seal those two up. I only have one set of holes left to raise the motor without increasing the transom height. Honestly the boat runs pretty good but I’d like to...
I am getting ready to raise my motor on hole but have never mounted a bolt thru transom motor before.
There appears to be a sealant on both sides of the transom at the nut and bolt head. What’s the best way to remove this?
Also what type of sealant should I used once I mount the motor again...
I run the new and James river in VA. My boat is a war eagle stick steer with a 60/45 jet. I can run most sections is the river but where there are stair stepped ledges.
On plane, I’m running in inches of water. I’ve never measured but I’ve clinched my butt checks many times.
Here’s a few...
I bought a 1998 mercury 60/45 late last fall.
I would like to replace the liner and impeller but don’t see a tag on the foot or pump to order the parts.
Anybody know the specs for this pump?
Thanks
