[QUOTE="Whitaker201, post: 314096, member: 11371"] Well I had the chance to finally get a little work done to my jet. I cleaned up the impeller(really need to order a new one) the leading edges were almost flat. I staightend the grates and put a small chamfer on the bottom side. Also I set the spacing of the impeller to the wear ring. It had a gap about 1/16" wide maybe more with no shims on top of the impeller. It took about 4 shims on top to get the gap close to the 1/32".....I probably could have moved another shim or two to get the gap even closer. The wear ring is ok and I think I will see what the boat does before I consider replacing it. My before numbers was 20mph upstream and 24mph down and a slow hole shot. I hope to get out this weekend and see if the preformance is any better. [/QUOTE]
