Thrust issues

Appreciate you taking the time to respond but I’m past the cavitation issues, silicon in the pumps fixed that. Now I’m on to the massive water leak from the intermediate bearing, which I didn’t find until I tried to leave the boat in the water after fixing the cavitation issue. ?? Just wanna go out on my boat! Lol but I’ll get her running smooth eventually. Thanks for the thought!
 
Glad to hear this! Good luck on that bearing housing. It's a tight fit down there.
 
I would email the guy direct again to make sure he got your order. He should send a shipment email to you, it only took a week for the part to get to me and I was in rural Iowa!
 
Never got a single email from Island Racing but I ordered the bearing assembly Monday evening and it arrived today! Thanks for the suggestion, I would have never gone through that wonky ordering process and trusted it without some good reviews.
