    Impeller tolerance

I figure this will work better than mounting to my sponsons. Hopefully...

    Outboard Jet Tilt Setting

    I am working on modifying an aluminum hull and would like some collective insight on what setting to have my tilt pin on my Merc 60 Jet. If I let the motor tilt all the way down to the stop the measurement from my transom to front of foot is 10" and the pump is angled down slightly causing the...
