    2019 Sea Doo Fish Pro Wear Ring (small marks)

    The factory manual will give a wear limit for clearance between the ring and the impeller, but agree yours looks fine. you will notice on holeshot especially towing a tube or skiier that it will slip more , engine revs up ski doesn’t go any where. I think i did mine around 140 hrs , so should...

    Alpha outdrive upper and lower interchangeability

    On alphas the gear ratio is done in the upper. So yes a 4 cylinder will have a 1.98:1 gear ratio Vs the likely 1.62:1 (could be a 1.50) you have. Soupper is useless. Lower would swap over, if you want a second spare…

    Engine removal thoughts

    In addition to the other suggestions and auto wrecker with a boom is not a bad option. That is essentially what I had when I did my repower. Was the way to go, spent more time getting work done than screwing around. It took him longer to set the machine up than do the lifts. Edit- didnt see...

    Hello all, I want to install a remote oil filter mount for my 4.3 V6, is it neccessary to replace the filter mount bypass valve?

    this is up in the oil filter adapter on my 5.0 https://www.michiganmotorz.com/oil-filter-adapter-sbc-bbc i believe that is the relief valve.… not sure i understand the desire to remove it. Yes maybe a higher pressure relief is more desirable, but yours with some maintenance has held up well...

    Hello all, I want to install a remote oil filter mount for my 4.3 V6, is it neccessary to replace the filter mount bypass valve?

    If I recall there is an allen head holding it in the oil filter housing , so it would be upside down when engine is installed. Take the filter off and use a mirror...

    What 3 blade 21" prop is on there now? I had a big diff in top speed switching between a Vensura and Revolution 4 - both 4 blade 21" The Rev 4 has so much better bite that I could fully trim up and gain 3-4 more mph top speed. Downside was that hole shot was better with the Vensura as the...

    Engine swop ? about Timing

    If you are happy with it leave it alone, especially if it is coming out In a couple months Less timing has less detonation potential. You changed the whole engine so might have been loss of compression valve sealing etc or prob with old ignition

    Engine swop ? about Timing

    When ever you are mixing and matching parts, you have to work through somethings….
