Hi,
I recently purchased a 2003 GTX 4-tec supercharged. It cavitates pretty bad, and I found damaged wear ring and impeller. I went to replace the wear ring, and the new one 267 000 419 fits nice and tight, but protrudes about 1/2" past the front of the pump, keeping the pump from correctly mating up to the hull. I actually tried two different wear rings, SBT and WSM. They are both about 3-1/16" long, and both protrude too far. Unfortunately, I already dumped the original wear ring I cut out- but I know it was shorter and fit correctly.
The previous owner had purchased a used pump for this, and it has "03 sc" marked on the side with some paint marker. The pump housing is factory marked as 271 001 258. The parts manual says it should be 271 000 037.
I know everyone says to go to aluminum housing instead, but I dont have the money for that. I just want the wear ring to fit so I can get out on the water before end of summer.
Do you think Seadoo made a slightly shorter housing at one point? It fits a 155mm impeller.
If I cannot find the correct wear ring, I am considering cutting this wear ring shorter. But seems like it could be tricky to make it fit perfect especially with the rubber sealing ring that mates against the hull.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
