Lesson learned

That happened to me yesterday on my 1995 SeaDoo HX. Had to take the it apart and tap the impeller in the opposite direction with a small hammer and the rock dropped out. It was the size of a small dill pickle!

Yikes. One dill pickle-sized rock can ruin your whole afternoon! Thanks for your comment.

You can take a stuck rock out of the impeller simply by hand cranking the engine in reverse. The impeller will also reverse and let go of its grip on the rock, and you can just push it out. Much simpler, MUCH faster, and it will save your day out in the water as you can be back in and riding under 15 minutes.

Thanks for the tip, but don't you run the risk of loosening the impeller? We have experienced this issue under normal riding conditions (with one of our riding buddies), so that would be a concern of ours, especially if it's really jammed in.

Love how they make it look like a 5 minute job… keeps people buying skis. LOL

We have to admit, we try to edit these jobs down to 5 minutes, while still showing all the steps in detail so we cut out all the chatting, cursing and stripping of screws. We don’t have any incentive to get people to buy skis, though. Just trying to help out those who already have them.

If the rock is in past the impeller and too big to come out the exhaust end then you can try knocking the rock loose and then working it toward the intake side of the impeller again. It has to go out the same way it came in right? I used 2 hangers to work the rock toward a spot against the impeller where I could reach through the intake side of the impeller with my fingers and grabbed it. Worth a shot before disassembling the entire pump

what do you guys say about stainless steel wear rings? good or bad?

@3ftDeepChannel

5 жыл бұрын

Bad, in my opinion. The wear ring is a sacrificial part. If there's any contact between the ring and the impeller I'd rather have the $90 wear ring go than the $395 impeller.

I did the Same thing with a rock. Always wondered if it is possible to bend the driveshaft? Because mine has got a vibration that just doesn't seem right.

@3ftDeepChannel

It’s very difficult to bend the driveshaft. More likely there’s still some thing in the pump, but it also possible to strip the splines on the driveshaft. Hopefully not.

You should check your impeller after every ride, but you will likely know when you have something stuck. The performance will drop catastrophically and it will shutter. You should be able to do these types of repairs yourself, when necessary.

If you have any doubt, check out Sea-Doo’s parts catalog. Find your machine and then look up the parts diagram for your jet pump. It’ll show what goes in there. Here’s the link: shop.sea-doo.com/ca/en/shop/sales/parts/?aribrand=SEA_DOO_EN_CA_CAD

Yes, it is OK to pull it up onto a nice sandy beach. But when approaching you need to turn off your engine when the water is still 3 feet deep, and don’t start it back up again until it is at least 3 feet deep.

Unfortunately, no. You'd need to remove the iBR for one thing. But the principles are the same. With our impeller tool (see kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2WbpauNYbmdpKQ.html), most likely you'd be able to remove it through the intake grate. It's rare to get it jammed in as tight as it was for us.

You can usually get a good look at it through the intake grate, and you can also check out part of it through the rear pump. Alternatively, you can do a good inspection when you remove the pump for servicing.

It could be that your wear ring is warped, twisted, or is frayed. Take a look carefully at it and your pump for other trapped debris. It should spin freely when disconnected from the drive shaft. Good luck.

And all the armchair experts bleat on about fitting a stainless wear ring. Perfect if you want to replace the impellor and have a buckled wear ring.
