Yes that's it. On the wear ring. The pump you have listed above looks to be a plastic pump. I purchased three pumps all from ebay. Factory Aluminum fresh water. SBT also makes a new Aluminum pump. Not sure on the part number. Use the 267 000 046 part number for your search to...

The Aluminum pump I am using on the 2003 model is part number 267 000 046 if that helps any. From what I have seen between the two wear rings between the 2002 and 2003 and later is the 2002 is not as tall. AKA the length of it is not as long so the prop sits partially out of the pump. So...

Let us know what becomes of the aluminum pump. I haven't tried mine on the 2002. I believe you will still need to use the wear ring from the 2002 pump on the aluminum. There was some differences in the drive shaft length between the 2002 and the 2003 and later models. From what I have...

With the new wear ring you installed, do you still have a large gap between the prop and the ring? I tried a solas prop in mine and it was actually slower then the factory prop for my case. So if your buying a new prop I would say the factory all the way. Curiosity does your ski have the side...

So curious if yours has the Plastic pump and Bronze center also? Yea that was your problem for sure. You probably had a water leak to. Glad your able to work on your own ski. These things are getting up there in age and no shop in my area wants to touch them.

I have the exact same ski as you do. The 2002 GTX 4 tech it has a plastic pump but the center section I believe is Bronze. Its not the same as the plastic pump on the 2003 and newer. I can pull tubes and a person on a ski no problem. Now I was going to say Carbon ring all the way. I also...

I had one do that to me before. Was so stuck. I was parting out the ski, the Drive shaft was so rusted that the splines wouldn't let go from the prop. I ended up cutting the drive shaft and pulling it off that way. Then I removed the cone from the pump. I used a vice to hold the shaft so I...

I wouldn't run it full throttle on the hose. The reason being is you will heat up the Carbon wear ring and cause it to fail. You should really only run it for around 2 mins on the hose so as to not over heat the carbon wear ring. In the water the water cools this and full throttle is not a...

Replace the spark plugs is the first thing I would try. Then if that doesn't do it swap the coil packs from the one ski to the other. You could do that one at a time to see if you can find the one that is coil pack that may be bad. More then likely its the plugs.

I have that very same ski. I used JB weld to be honest. Mixed it up and spread it on. Then let it dry. Next day sanded it smooth to the shape of the hull. Then I took a Black Paint pen from Sharpe. Not the marker, but a paint pin and colored it black. The JB weld was a grayish color...

I own the same exact model. As far as I am aware you remove the gauges from the top. There is a chrome ring part 11 that will more then likely brake a tab or two when you pull it off from around the gauges. Then under that if my memory serves me correct there are some more 5.5mm screws to...

I have the same ski as you. Looks to me that a wear ring replacement is in your future. Mine did the same thing and we replaced the ring and all was back to normal. I am still looking for a metal pump for mine. The 2002 well at least mine has a part metal part plastic pump. These pumps tend...

The bolts on the engines of the 2002 up to a 2004 all have stainless External Torx head fasteners aka 12 point heads. The 2006 was internal torx/bolt head design not stainless. Just a tib bit I found working on them. Maybe someone else can tell us if the 2005 year has the non stainless ones...

I own this very ski. Mine was used in brackish water. So a lot of the bolts were starting to corrode. Seadoo switched the bolts on that year ski to non stainless fasteners. I know cause, I bought a 2003 ski as parts and all the bolts for the engine on it were stainless. I simply swapped...

Would a MPEM from a once running 2003 work for you? It had about 136 hours on the ski when the number two cylinder went out.
