Hope I'm in the right forum, I have a 96 Sea Rayder jet boat with a Merc. 120XR Jet Sport. My problem is it starts out fine (a little Bow rise) but once it's up to speed after about 5-6 seconds it starts to Surge or cavitate? if I slow back down it runs again for a few seconds then spins up again. The Impeller looks good and the clearances look even with no unusual wear noted. The ride plate was not sealed well to the hull, a bunch of RTV. I have removed it and plan on replacing the seal (If I can find one). What else can cause this cavitation issue?
