Hey guys, I am new to this forum due to the fact that I have inherited a problem boat from a friend. It is a 1994 Seaswirl Squirt with the 115 HP crossflow. Of course it has the TurboJet drive on the back. Long story short..... I have accomplished getting the engine running and I put it on the water...... WOT, boat moved 5 mph MAYBE. I have spoken with Lisa at TurboJetMarine and I have found that my clearances are fine on my impeller, guide pins are tight etc etc etc. I checked my exhaust hoses and they are extremely spongy which Lisa said that would cause the boat not to move......... If some one could please explain to me how this is, not that I dont believe her, but if the exhaust is not flowing as it should, I would think it would cause back pressure on the cylinder and ultimately effect the engine RPM. I am all ears.
Also, she told me to locate the sacrificial anode on the hull of the boat and ensure that it was still there and intact........ She said its connected to one of the plates around the suction side of the jet drive. Unless the sacrificial anode IS one of the plates, I cant find it.
Any information at this point would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys
