Hello everyone,
what is the average cost for the parts to do a wear ring ?
it seems a repair that isnt too complicated ?

Many Thanks, Cheers

On what?

You don't have your boat/ski in your signature.

I just talked with Impros today, they charge $450 for machining and installing a Stainless Steel wear ring insert. I asked if this would cause accelerated wear on the impeller? The response was: No, it shouldn't. This seems lological to me since the impeller runs within close tolerances of the wear ring, but not on the wear ring. Moreover, given the cost to resurface an impeller ($125 - 150) vs. buying a new wear ring, I'd prefer to resurface the impeller.

BTW, $249 deals for Solas seadoo jetboat impellers on eBay!

Solas can be bought for 200.00 if you look hard enough and not on ebay.

I refurbed my Ring, Impeller and Pump from Impros this season. Made a huge difference. Only thing now is that the boat is not starting. It starts and then stalls. Changed the plugs already and still nothing. Maybe fuel filter. Hopefully get it sorted out before holidays next week.

No starts

I had similar problems, check out your lanyard wrist kill switch, mine actually had worn abraded down to about one strand of single wire that was weak and was not making a good connection, crawl under your dash and have a look, failing that, when trying to start make sure that the switch is in a proper and solid position when you are at the starter switch, after all if it is not making good contact it will be intermatent and fail a solid start/run.
