Hello everybody, this is my first post so I apologize if it is in the wrong section. Here is my conundrum:
I rebuilt the entire jet pump and installed a new wear ring on my 1999 Seadoo GTI. It ran great, and then after the third ride I noticed jet pump oil leaking out, and the wear ring was all slashed up. I also noticed metal shavings on the wear ring/that general area.
I then bought a brand new housing assembly that came with the bearings and wear ring already installed. After installing that, I fired up the ski on the trailer with the garden hose attached. It sounds like a Diesel engine running and was vibrating a lot more then usual. I shut it off, and took the whole jet pump unit back out. There are more metal shavings and somehow the impeller got a big gash out of it and bent it a little. How could that possibly happen when on the trailer? Is my driveshaft trashed? Or is it something worse?
Also- I made the absolutely idiotic mistake of turning the machine on without the housing unit installed yet. It was only running on the trailer for about 30 seconds before I realized my mistake and shut it off.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
