Any Advice on Changing out the Wear Ring I've measured with Feeler gauges and the gap between the Impeller and the Wear ring is well over the Spec suggested. How hard is that process to install a new one. Any advice is very much appreciated.

thanks,
Dustin Weems
It’s not too bad. I drilled holes in it and used a hooks and a ratchet strap. It’s pressed into two large orings. Spray pb blaster between ring and housing. Take your time. I used liberal marine grease when putting it back together
 
Most likely its the impeller that is worn but when you have the pump out you can inspect closer to make sure the impeller housing is ok.
Yamahas dont have wear rings like a seadoo doo does
Yamaha boats do since I think 2018. I know 2019 have it
