HELP!!! I broke down on the lake today.

[killerbeez]

I broke the pump out on the lake today and need advise.I am a new boat owner and I had my wife and kids out on the boat for about 5 min before my major malfunction.I have a panther jet pump and one of the pieces of metal from the intake grate had busted off and ran through the pump causing a huge crack across the top right before the bowl.I need some recommendations on people who do pump work in the So.Cal. area.I know I will probably have to replace it.Thanks guys,this is an awsome forum. :cry:

I heard there is some guy that does quality repairs on Panthers in the OC area, not sure how many of the other jet shops are willing to do repairs on Panthers, maybe someone here has the Panther guys number, if not I can get it for you later this week.I think I remember hearing he has an automotive repair shop but knows Panthers better than anyone.Put a call into some local shops and you might get some answers.

I have an extra impeller if you need one. I will also throw in a housing.
