I will check the engine mount to transome since I took the engine out.
But Get this!
I Just got done splitting open the pump tonight. :sqeyes: The A impeller is cracked and missing pieces. I think I got luck by not having it explode on me. The cavitation has to be from the holes in the impeller. The bowls damaged also from the pieces being slammed out.
I was still doing 69MPH with this thing..............
Just wait till you get a good pump and impeller The power you have will put you near 80 mph. JUST DO NOT TURN WHILE WELL ON THROTTLE UNLESS YOU LIKE GOING BACKWARDS.
