Starboard engine RPM spikes on Speedster

[riovis]

I watched my son and family leave the dock with our 1997 Speedster. I don't see that view often. I saw that the starboard jet was shooting considerably more air. When he returned he said he had a problem keeping the RPMs steady between the two engines. Even with the throttles in an equivalent position the starboard engine wanted to wind up to max RPM. No hole shots were possible as the port engine grabbed just fine, but the starboard had to be eased slowly up to avoid that racing. Could use some advice here, friends. Thanks.

Look for a stick or something wrapped around the drive shaft or impeller for a quick check.

Will do! Thank you for your reply! Any other thoughts?

If there’s no debris, you’re likely looking at either a worn wear ring, or a dinged up impeller...
