got nothing to due with power. i have seen stock boats do this. may have just ben a bad shaft from the start and it just let go. hows the splines look? cook all the grease out of it?

I agree, this isn't about power.
Splines are looking great, there was plenty of grease in there. Why would it cook out?

 

[ryan]

so you alinement is good. it will cook the grease out if wasnt. must have just ben time to snap. how many hours on it 1000s i bet. lol. i snaped one in my limited blaster a few years ago. couldnt find anything wrong with that one either. tons of hours on it.

 

[Matt_E]

I am pretty confident my alignment was decent.
I have run this pump/mid shaft combo for the past 4 years, at least.

So are you going to rock a mag pump?? Come on all the cool kids are doing it. LOL

 

[ryan]

once you get one you will be hooked!!! i have many boats i started with 1 mag pump now i have 6 lol .

 

[Matt_E]

I think so. I didn't spend as much money at the gun show today as I'd feared. :biggrin:

 

[ryan]

lol there ya go 148? 144? set back oooo what to get!!!

 

[Matt_E]

148 is way too big for my needs, and 144 is still too big.
If I go mag, it'll be 140.

 

[sflsurfrider]

you should contract the pump install to someone that knows what theyre doing.

 

[Matt_E]

That much is obvious.
Apparently cast iron street L's in your pump are frowned upon.

 

[sflsurfrider]

that street fitting is ASS!

 

[jetpilot08]

You should put that in your new mag pump. :icon16:

Why go smaller than stock?

 

[Matt_E]

Because the guy that I paid money to build me a nice setup recommends a 140 mag for that setup.

 

[ryan]

the 140 works nice i am running one in my main boat. just need a little smaller prop to help the low end.

 

[Matt_E]

I won't be guessing at the prop. I'll let my engine builder figure it out.

 

[JetManiac]

that sucks!
