OK I looked at the forums and did not find anything talking about this particular issue. I have a 96 seadoo GTI and have replaced the wear ring. I was lucky and did not have to remove the impeller to do so. The impeller and shaft turn free and has clearance in the new wear ring. When I attach it to the boat it goes right on the the drive shaft and looks good until I start to torque the 4 nuts on the boat to attach the pump. Now the impeller is so tight I can not turn it at all. Back the nuts off and spins free again. I did not have any shims under the pump when I removed it. I am at a quandary and any suggestions on what to do now would be GREATLY appreciated. :willy_nilly:
