Not Telling
I went into a shallow area & sucked up some small rocks. I shut the engine off when I heard a few clunking sounds. I turned it on again a few minutes later & the clunking persisted. I shut it off again & pushed my sporster to mt boat lift. I opend up the grate underneath & looked with a mirror to see if I could see anything. It looked like the small rocks actually washed out as they could not be seen. I saw a bit of monafilament fishing line (but not much). The impeller had a few good dings in it. I launched the boat & it sounded ok & seemed to be performing o.k.. "BUT" at about 1/2 throttle the RPM's went to the max & performance slowed down. I slowed down & it seems to be o.k. but steaming a little out of the back. I increased speed & it repeated the same thing again (ie) went ok for awhile & then at 1/2 speed the RPM's maxed out.
** I am not sure if the impeller "dings" are causing an issue when I pick up speed
- If I do have to replace the impeller >>> any idea of the cost ??
- should I look for after market parts
- I didn't want to spend too much, as my original intention was to trade it in in January/09 for the new 2008/2009 sportster
