    Just curious if anyone has applied the wetlander hull cover on their jet boats and what their thoughts are on this product? I’ve seen some reviews on this product and others as well but this one has my attention Thanks

    Jet motor raising question

    I am getting ready to raise my motor on hole but have never mounted a bolt thru transom motor before. There appears to be a sealant on both sides of the transom at the nut and bolt head. What’s the best way to remove this? Also what type of sealant should I used once I mount the motor again...

    Jet pump info help

    I bought a 1998 mercury 60/45 late last fall. I would like to replace the liner and impeller but don’t see a tag on the foot or pump to order the parts. Anybody know the specs for this pump? Thanks

    Thinking of adding a tunnel

    I bought a late 90’s war eagle 16 with a 45 Merc jet. The boat gets on plane quick and seems to run pretty skinny. However, I’m interested in getting a tunnel installed. I run the James and New rivers in VA and rock ledges are always a concern. I know most of the waters I fish pretty well but...

    Part identification

    Does anyone know the name of the part circled red in the picture? It’s a threaded nut with a grease fitting on a stick steer motor that slides through the fitting. The seal blew out the fitting so it will not hold grease now.

    Jet boat gurus

    I bought a used jon with an outboard jet. The boat gets on plane really quick and very minimal splash at the transom. But, with a straight edge, it looks like the foot is 1 inch too low. I can raise the motor one hole which should be about an inch. Should I go ahead and raise it one hole?

    Mercury 2 stroke 65/45 jet

    Anybody got any feedback on these older two stroke motors. I got two used boats I’m looking at. One has a 4 stroke 60/40 and the other has a 2 stroke 65/45. I like the boat with the 65/45 better but the motor is about 10 years older, which really doesn’t bother me but wanted to see what the...

    Does anyone have any feedback on the 15 foot rhino tunnel hull with jet outboard and stick steer? I seen a video and the boat ran great with one person but rode bow high with a second person added Thanks

    Jet/transom angle

    I’m trying to tweak my new to me boat’s performance and I’m concerned about the jet angle. There are transom wedges installed that increase the angle of the motor. I measured the angle of the transom with a carpenter square and it close to 5” which I think equals about 20 degree minus the wedge...

    Alarm question

    I went on the river today and had an issue I’d like some advice on. I struggled trailering my new to mr boat in the current. Long story short, I got too shallow and sucked up some gravel. The boat wouldn’t propel and an alarm came on. I shut the motor off and pulled the boat by hand on the...

    Jet height and angle

    Good afternoon First time poster and new to me jet Jon boat. I bought a 17’ express boat with a Honda 50/35 jet. Ideally I would have liked a larger motor but couldn’t afford it. My question is I have the motor lined up with the leading edge of the foot so it’s level with the bottom of the...
