on my 97XP .....(XPL style hull) 800cc.

the pump mount is a single peice and the grate bolts to it and then there is the ride plate.


is there any up/back dating to make the pump shoe a two peice (the thread inserts are busted on mine) or is that just retarted.

Mr. Bill

Not that I am aware of. But you can get creative to fix the one you have now,

This is done a couple of ways, through bolts to hold the grate on, or in the older days, brass inserts with internal 6 mm threads and 10 or 12mm external threads were available for fixing old Kawasaki jetskis, using a tap and epoxy, new inserts could be put into old hulls to secure rideplates and grates.

Think carriage bolts to minimize the obstruction of water passing over bolt heads in the shoe area and nuts under rthe grate if you decide to try it that way.

Worst case senerio is buying a new pump support or better yet, who needs a grate anyway on an XPl type hull ? We won a world champoinship at Havasu and never knew the grate was back at the shop uniil I found it there under the bench, We thought it had fallen off during the race !.
