I guess ear rings would give new meaning to the term "boat bling"I was looking forward to seeing what those EAR rings might look like and where you mounted them.
Where did you get them? Happy with the price?Oops, I must have dropped the W. I meant Wear rings . I went the precious metal route and got the OEM stainless steel rings. The old rings did their job for almost 10 years but the port ring is loosing it's clearance so I'll replace both.

The plastic wouldn't last very long where I boat. The stainless lasted almost 10 years so thought that was pretty good service.Did you look into inserts? I thought I read that they are available in plastic and stainless steel for less than $10o each.
The port was actually hitting the wear ring. When I pulled the pumps a couple of weeks ago to check the bearings I could feel a little burr on the impeller edges on the port side. The starboard isn't rubbing yet but I'll replace it anyway. I'll check the gap before and after the surgery.How tight were your clearances?
I bet you will see a small shipping refund, may take a week or so.@Julian I got the oem wear rings from powersportsparts4less.com on a tip from @swatski. https://jetboaters.net/threads/what-do-you-think-about-my-port-impeller-and-pump-housing.9218/page-2 The price was $223.89 per side plus $40 shipping. On a suggestion from @swatski I spoke to Amy about refunding anything over actual shipping cost but haven't seen any adjustment. The cost of each ring beat my best price by about $20 per ring.
