    Who installs UHMW?

    Hey guys, Just wondering who installs UHMW on the east coast? I am in the VA area. I know James river jets does it, but he just glues on 1/8" sheets and charges $2200. Yikes. If I am going to pay that kind of cash, I would want to mechanically fasten 3/8-1/2".

    Outboard Jet in brackish water?

    Hey guys! Been fishing the heck out of my CC jet. Really enjoying it. We are going to be staying in a house off of the Rappahannock river (Chesapeake Bay watershed) in a week or so.

    Mercy 60/40 4 stroke squealing

    Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I believe it is coming from my jet lower bearings. Maybe the seals are going? What are some signs of lower bearing failure? Sounds like its getting worse too.

    Transom HP rating vs. Jet motor

    Hey guys just wondering what you would do in this case. My 1648 calls for a 50hp engine. Obviously if I got a 50hp powerhead and put on the jet foot I'd have 35hp. I'd like to put on a 60/40 or even a 75/50. I am aware that most engines (even factory jets) still have the powerhead HP in the...
