Outboard S.L Jet pump question

[Homeseller]

I have a 200 HP Merc. with a San Leandro Jet pump.<br /><br />I drove it for about two miles and then turned it off. The starter would not turn the motor over. <br /><br />It seems the bolt on the impeller backed off a little and the impeller is touching the shoe insert.<br /><br />I had the same thing happen on a 150 HP Force motor I have with the same jet pump.<br /><br />The shop put the impeller bolt on the Force when it did this.<br /><br />For some reason the impeller bolt seems to want to back off just a bit on these. When I adjust the impeller to the insert. I use about six thousands of an inch all the way around the impeller.<br /><br />Has anyone else had this problem? And what did you do to fix it? <br /><br />Also. where is a good place to advertise to sell the 150 HP Force with a San Leandro Jet pump that is in very good condition. I have noticed Iboats does not have a place to sell these.

My unit uses a tab washer to lock the nut once torqued. This washer has a "D" shaped hole in it to fit the shaft. Torque down the nut on top the washer and bend over the tab to lock.

Mine has the same washer.<br /><br />I will try to torque it down a bit tighter. May be that will help.

Hi homeseller<br />Do not over torque. Use recomended specs. Buy a new tab washer do not reuse the old one. Be sure to bend the tab over the flat on the nut, not the point. Sorry I don't know the torque spec off the top of my head. I know 5-6 bucks for a washer is a pain.

Be carefull when you bump that nut and washer combo up that none of those washers are hanging up on a thread on the shaft. 6 thousanths is too tight. Spec is .016 to .030 if I recall correctly.
