Hi everyone,
I am a new owner and have just run into our first issue. Have a 96 speedster that runs great but had started to cavitate more on the left motor than right. Left motor buzzer started to go off so we shut down. Now in water motor would not start. Out on trailer fired right up. Brought it home and checked compression 130psi in both motors. Started to loom at the impellers thinking something was picked up,they are clean. Looking into this I took them out and found they are 2 different part #'s. In checking this year should both be the same unlike a 1995&down than ran different. What harm will this do? Should I replace them with the same #'s or the correct by year? The wear rings are worn and I want to replace seals and bearings while in there they seem a little worn also. Someone has definitely been in here before. Help with what I should do? I like this boat and don't want to damage it. I also hear everyone talking about how fast rheas are. Ours won't go over 30 mph. Could these be related to the impellers?
