Hey guys this is my first post in this section so be easy ;) I have a 97 Essex Genesis Jet with a 454 indmar, a Legend jet with place diverter, ride plate, grate and droop snoop. Went to Havasu this weekend and a sh*t load of problems happened.
First the boat wont go when I get on the gas. I acts like there is something in the pump but there is nothing. I can only get up to 3000rpm and then thats it, wont go any further. The motor runs fine and sounds good.
Second the forward/reverse cable broke. How hard is it going to be to replace it myself.
Thanks for any advise given. James

Sounds like you mucked up the impeller. The reverse cable should only take you about half an hour to replace, very simple, very easy. I would suggest giving Jack at MPD a call.

I looked at the impeller thru (still in the pump) it looked ok. A couple of chips in it but other then that looks good

Check the thrust bearing, most likely this could be the problem. In any case call Jack.

Yea but I looked thru the whole pump, the inspection plate, thru the back and up the intake, its clean. Do you think something is in the impeller

Good Answer Mike. That's got to be worth at least a twelve pack of bullets from this guy.

Anytime I'm out on the water, anyone is welcomed to a Coors light advise or not just hanging with fellow hot boaters.
damn I sound like a sap, maybe I should drinking the bullets tonight :D

Did you check to see if you're getting full throttle??
