I've got most of the parts to start putting my boat together, and had a couple questions. The pump I am using was rebuilt years ago but is still in good condition. Although, when spun by hand there is a constant and consistant noise. Is this normal? From what I read yesterday the pump may be spinning slightly too easily. Would the packing cause noise? Also I have the droop from the pump that came with the boat (see pic), will a Place diverter hook up to it? If not, could it be machined to work? Is the fine tune diverter alot better? Lastly about the intake, should the bolts be filled, or will drag be minimal? And are the mods that have been done due to repair or performance (see pic)? Thanks for your time and input
ys a place diverter will hook to it & work fine...it appears the plate on the back is some kind of ride plate hook-up for turn buckles?
i may be wrong, but the intake looks to me to be for a circle boat? (higher on 1 side than the other)...as far as the pump goes...i would PM DuaneHTP & talk to him...he's very good!
