2022 Scarab 165 HO. Has anyone ever removed the sleeve before? Would that introduce any problems with driveshaft alignment if I do? I'm trying to make room for this double helix impeller and it hits the end of the sleeve and doesn't seat all the way down on the shaft. I cant find anything online about someone just removing the sleeve all together. Im thinking I might take a dremel to it and cut it back to the yellow bushing, but would rather take the whole thing off to introduce less cavitation. IMG_0232.PNG
