OT-prop to jet pump conversion?
I've done google on "jet conversions", and a couple others but only came up
with replacement pumps for existing applications. If you see a specific site could you reply with it? "Larry" wrote in message ... 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. That's a very popular conversion here on the River Skagit: Aluminum hull (will dent, not break when rocks are hit) and O/B with jet foot (great shallow-water clearance). You did not mention why you are considering a jet. If it is "performance"- forget it. O/B jet pumps are about 40% less efficient than props. If it is for shallow-water operations, then it cannot be beat. It's also very safe around swimmers. Jet conversions are readily available on the used market. -- (¯`·._.· £ãrrÿ ·._.·´¯) "mosey" wrote in message .. . I have a new 40 hp Mercury outboard on my 15 ft. aluminum center console.

Thanks Larry, snip
You're welcome. Sometimes it's more difficult to identify the correct search phrase, than it is to find the actual sites. One gots to be da "Internet detective" at times :-) -- (¯`·._.· £ãrrÿ ·._.·´¯) "mosey" wrote in message . .. Thanks Larry, same ones I came up with.
