Running out of the water it sounds like a box of rocks!!! In the water you wont here it. Unless your wear ring is warping due to exfoliation.

ok dont know what exflatction is but it has eat the edge of the impeller but what your saying is it becuase its out the water so it should be fine to ride

[beerdart]

Exfoliation is where the metal becomes distorted and expands from the inside out. If the wear ring looks good and your impeller clearance is good than let it rip!!!

yeah had to take a file to the wear ring had to humps in it on the bottom got it smoothed out but still tring to get a new one so the pump is good thats all i need to hear

How does the pump bearings feel? You may be hearing them.

Breanings Feel Great The Edge Of The Pump Has Started Eating The Wear Ring Where The Humps Are

Maybe time to consider a new wear ring. If it's out of spec, you will not get good performance no matter how the engine is running.
