2014 RXT Damage on pump shoe after rope injestion.

[Jonnan]

A guy got some rope in his pump.
Burned a hole in the resonator which he replaced himself.

But next time out he says he didnt get any thrust. Just prop spin.
I thought he might have taken the splines on the shaft or in the prop but they looked fine.
What I found was this:
Serious damage to the shoe. An open hole some 40% of the circle. And a worn wear ring.
Ski has just 11hours on it :/

Guess I have to send him to a proper shop to replace the shoe?

no insurance

I had the shoe on my '12 GTR implode for some unknown reason.

Ski had bad vibration, cavitated even worse, wouldnt go anywhere...

found part of shoe on other side of impeller, up against the stator...
