[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 341885, member: 5508"] Thanks for the reply ,well this thing is a beast with a prop hole shot is VERY fast with the shaved flywheel . I was told it should be making about 80+ hp , how true that is I don't know . I do know I used to run a 14 pitch prop at 5500 now I turn a 17 at 6000 with all my fishing stuff and a two BIG fishermen . It will run up to 7400 now empty with that prop done it once or twice .Its got a lot of grunt! I didn't know how much of a load a jet pump puts on a motor . I was thinking the stainless impeller would load it more with an extra blade and all + wearing better . I 've seen outboard jets with a plate from the transom to just in front of the shoe thought I may be able to do something like that and bolt it to the jackplate kinda extend the bottom. I was gonna do that anyway for my prop . This jet pump idea is a temporary thing to fish some water we can't get to with out tearing up a lower unit and prop , its the same price ,just not tearing stuff up to do it . If things don't work I can always sell it Ed [/QUOTE]
