I have a new-to-me ‘97 GTX 787 that will not accelerate from a stop. If you floor it, the RPMs jump to 8k and the jet ski doesn’t move very fast. if you gently work your way up to on-plane, it can go 40-45 mph. I suspect it’s cavitation from somewhere, but when I look at carbon seal symptoms online, I don’t have any of them besides cavitation. I dont get a lot of water in the hull nor do I have the black line on the inner hull. Am I fixating on the ring too much? I’m thinking I’ll replace it since the part is only $40. What else could it be? The impeller appears to have pretty good tolerance to the wear ring. There are no shark fins ahead of the impeller to remove.
