no i didnt put silicone on it, but it doesnt have any from teh factory, and it doesnt leak. i filled the hull with water and let it sit for a bit, no leaky leaks

it does get on plane, i just mis-informed you guys, not gonna lie. i was on a mad rage lol. i lied, not gonna make any pretty excuses to make me look not stupid.

stop and think about what people are suggestion and not just look at it as a check off list and whats next. the key thing to learn when fixing problems is why things happen, not just what can i swap to get it running again. you'll just end up masking other problems and never get better at trouble shooting when things go wrong.

did you ever think about why air would be coming through the housing? fill your hull up with water, spin and vibrate the shaft at a high rpm, and then pull a large vacuum from the pump side of the hull. its not the same as filling up the bilge with water on whiles its on a stand.

this may not be your problem, but just open your thinking rather than imediately rejecting an idea.

Stop and think? no kidding, i new to SJ's. I have never rejected anyones ideas, I hae gone out and checked them all and have found no issues until now, with the silicone. I did not know, and do not have a manual, and have never read that anywhere before, and I now see why it could be causing a problem. I never said it was not the problem, but when i checked it, it didnt seem to be, so i assumed it was ok.

The shaft is fine itself, but I will put silicone around it to seal it up. I never said i wasnt going to try sealing it. It just didnt look like there was ever any silicone there before.

My advise to everyone is to get a manual. I remember when I was asking my local mechanic a bunch of questions he looked at me and said "Do you have a manual?" Best advise on jetskis Yet. It will save you alot of headaches later and you wont have to ask questions all the time.
