Wear ring/impeller bomb proof set up?

[Nate907]

I live in southeast alaska and have a jet stream that i get pretty gnarly with in 1-3 inches of water and debris of every kind. What would be a dead nutts solid option for a wear ring and impeller so im not blowing either of those out so often? Heard maybe a UHMW wear ring and stainless impeller or aluminum wear ring and stainless impeller. Any info will help thanks!

There probably will not be a lot of people here that could help you with that. Most of the members here have leisure lake boats. You have a river boat from the sounds of it. Have you checked out River Jet Boating Forum • Index page (meanchicken.net) ?

I don't think a Yamaha would be a good tool to use in that environment. Have you seen others with Yamaha's?

The nylon wear rings will minimize damage to the impeller and are inexpensive to change once you get the housing.

I have the precision marine wear ring on my boat. 2010 AR240
Do you know where to purchase replacement wear rings from?

If you are referring to the nylon rings I would say you need to go to whom ever produced the housing if you swap out the ring and it is not an exact match you will probably have issues so check with the company that made the housing. I buy my housings from a local company and I usually get a couple extra rings so if I do need to replace them I don't have to wait for one. I
