Quite impressed with the performance difference with the plastic wear ring, but did a weekend trip up the upper halfway and into the chowade river and ended up running some large amounts of gravel through. Did notice how quickly the performance disappeared, but probable more of a issue with the leading edge on the impeller, but I did notice some grooves in the plastic about 3-7 thou. Cleaned up the leading edge and try again this weekend. A great thing if you stay out of gravel and sand, time will tell but I doubt 100 hours is realistic. |

I am sure Norris would love to here, better yet, go meet the guy and jump into the nav. side. He will put more than a few rocks through the pump just to see you smile!
