Hi guy's I'm new here, not new to jets but have one I can't get to work right!
I just had a new boat built by James River Jets
And bought a older merc v6 from him.
The boat is heavy it's an 1866 heavy aluminum rod boxes, decks ect.
Has a tunnel now the issue. When I take off I get a good bit of slip with the impeller.
Then it will grab an be ok. I have moved the motor up, down, out and up just about everything and not much change. Boat feels front heavy to me but floats level and only about 5-6" draft.
Console is up front, Was just told this happens sometimes with heavy boat and high hp motor. Motor has the power to break the impeller loose before the boat moves good.
My motor is a older 200 i think it should have the larger pump sp200
But it is the standard v6 any help would maybe save a life!!
Looking for the razor blades now. Thanks
