    ive seen people make a pump seal kit with foam fill so that's what we could possibly do with yours, all the pump seal does it remove the cavitation, so by putting the foam fill in the gaps it will remove that so we can see how we go

    The blade shouldn't drop performance if it isn't too bad, Sam (HRD2MS) had a similar thing and he didn't drop speed he was still as quick as me with our GPRs

    yep that foam fill idea should work just as good i will end up doing that as the pump shoe kits for my model are obsolete,

    just another question about ride plates, i want to tow a ski biscuit behind my GP and im pretty sure its going to porpose because it does with a passenger on the back,
    so to kerb this i would install a longer ride plate right? theres an R&D plate or a really long plate called the shredmaster on offer

    Hi
    Reading your column on jet ski parts. Just wonder are you a jet ski mechanic, based in Sydney?
