englishgroup123, I appreciate that.

Awesome video, just bought one on a two stroke Suzuki, it wouldn’t get out of its own way 😮 ordered new impeller and flange as the old ones were shot! Looked 3x worse than the used one you showed, this boat was straight from Montana to now South Georgia. Very strange smooth rocks caught in the pickup fins, nothing like them here…..thanks for the knowledge 👍

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

I am glad it helped. Amazing what new impeller and liner will do.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thanks! Great thorough Informative video!✊🏾👍🏾

[@liggiwonka9539]

Great video thanks. Very informative

[@xs-1b415]

Great video. I just got my first jet and this really helped me get to know it a little better. Thanks!

[@lukedejour]

Great video my jet just started to loose performance, so I am pretty sure a shim adjustment is needed. The business card trick is a great one, thanks for sharing!

[@williamchandler2494]

Nicely done and explained. Thank you for sharing.

[@kwally33]

Thank you! Can you do a video on how sharpen an impeller? Maybe use an old one you got just for an example... Thank you!! Maybe another on how to change the shaft, bearings and maybe how adjust and re-shim one that's out of tolerance? I like the business card ideas!!

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

I can work on that.

[@kwally33]

@@ridgetoriveroutdoors awesome! I think that will help alot of do it your selfer's.

[@prometheusfallen]

Very nice video! Gives even a totes n00b like me the feeling that I can do it. The main thing I was unsure of was the key way, but I think I got it now.

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

Thanks for watching

[@kendicarlo6206]

Good video just did this and gained 5-7 mph. I had 80 hours and ten years on my pump and just one shim gave me performance back

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

That is awesome! I am glad this video helped.

[@highcountry360]

Thank you, great video. One problem I had with greasing I used too big of a grease gun and the pressure blew out my seals. Now I use a small tube of lubriplate 630-AA and a screw on hand pump. Any tips on how low to mount your shoe below your boat and tips on a cavitation plate install?

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

Correct. Grease guns have a lot of pressure and blow the seals. Cavitation is a trial situation. You have to make an adjustment and see what works for your boat. When the shoe is mounted and you can run in smooth water without cavitation, you should be good. Cavitation occurs most commonly in rough water. Jet pumps are not designed for rough water. Good luck.

What a great video Thank you!

[@carsonstumpf9159]

Hi I have an issue impeller. Is it normal to have a tiny bit of play in your impeller?

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

You would have to explain in more detail what kind of play you have. Otherwise you can call me.

[@zacharyclifton6315]

What should I do if the grease doesn't pump through the tube when trying to flush the water out? Thanks

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

You should talk to your mechanic. Sounds like you might have some bad seals. If this is the case, I would have a mechanic replace them.

[@PICAFUMO675]

Great video!

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

Thank You!

[@ilovefriedrice9891]

lol i had to pause the video to see if it there were chickens in my neighborhood lol

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

😆

[@kirknelson3020]

Great video thanks!

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

Thank you

[@tegdejonge]

Mine has a key way notch. I hear some come with that. How do I remove?

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

It should have a woodruff key. You can likely find a video that explains how to remove the woodruff key. If your in doubt, you should talk to your local mechanic.

[@bradenherle8774]

What size of outboard? HP?

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

This is a 250hp.

[@thelotec007]

I'm building a custom flat bottom. Just found a 55hp with jet...will it work brother

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

I have no idea. It all depends on the weight of the boat, and how much weight is in the boat when you plan on using it. You should look at other boats similar to what you are building and see what they are running for power.

[@fishnlift01]

Thanks for the info, sir.

[@foxgrove60]

Very good info very good

[@ademiryslacrispin27]

Necesitamos en Perú jet oarturbo

[@dustinclark8186]

No grease. In there. Sand sticks in it. Only grease shaft and and bearing.

[@tegdejonge]

My liner is Stuck to the foot

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

You may need to see your mechanic if you cannot get it loose.

[@Garminrules]

Why not use anti seize on threads and feeler gauge for exact measurement verses business card????

[@ridgetoriveroutdoors]

The business card works. No need to be so precise.

[@Garminrules]

@@ridgetoriveroutdoors thanks for the quick response.......I'm prop guy wanting to get another boat...a jet and trying to learn how it all works...your video was great! Thanks
