Default Can I change my Merc outboard to a jet pump?

Merc does make a jet lower unit for your motor. Don't know that it will be
cost effective to change. Plus the added fuel use and less efficient.
I personally would not do it. Raise your motor as high on the transom as
possible. You can tear up a lot of props for the cost of the swap.
Especially if you buy them off ebay or get one of the composite props and
just swap blades.

I have a new 40 hp Mercury outboard on my 15 ft. aluminum center console.
If I had known the versatility of jet pumps I would have bought one, but

now
having the new boat and motor wonder if it's cost effective, or even
possible to purchase a kit to change my prop motor over to a pump. Anyone
have experience with this?

TIA
