that looks to be a two piece housing. is it bolted together and then bored for the wear ring and bearing?
what does it cost?

Bulldawgart has a brand new never installed JG for sale - here's the link to one of his ads

I'll echo what was said above, that Eagle housing is awesome looking!
jumping the boat by goosing it, pulling wheelies or pickup something and jammed the pump hard. You Got it! Suctions, Bowls, and Impellers take a big hit that is a emplosion when vacated and reloaded under power. Why we are seeing it more today is the increased power on motors & its compounding the impact on drives and hardware, due to the pressurized systems. This was limited to drag boats several years ago but now everyone has 600+ Power.
if you want to jump and stay hard in it get a axial pump no pressure and it only tears up the drive system.
Race boats 3-5 per year now its 10 to 15 or better.
Maybe you need one of these.....

Jetaholic, check your PM's.

Accepts AT internals and is O-ring'ed between the 2 halfs. In whitewater applications no one has broken one yet.
Not entirely sure of the fabrication process but they are a very stout piece and most of the big guns run one, for obvious reasons. Im sure it is a multi stage process involving both milling and boring both apart and with both parts together.
They are not cheap! I would have to look it up but I seem to recall they are ~5-6K cnd, which these days, I hate to say it, is almost the same! We're running about 95 cents to your dollar, getting pretty close to par!
Definatly spendy but the last suction you'll even buy !
Cheers

good thread! i never think abut checking my cleanout strap bolts for stress, tom ya got me thinkin, i'm gonna have to get dressed and go out in my shop,lol
Well...I want to thank R.A.D.man and Tom at Jet Boat Performance for helping a fellow boater out in time of need. R.A.D.man had the suction housing I needed and shipped it off, while Tom hooked me up on the required parts to reassemble the pump.
I haven't gotten into tearing the pump apart quite yet...hopefully all the moving parts are still good to go. Beerjet is gonna help me reassemble it this weekend.
BTW Tom, do you carry shim kits in case the impeller needs to be moved back for proper clearance? PM me and let me know.
