They used a v6 power head from a mercury outboard engine so possibly if it is the engine needing work you may find a mechanic that works on the outboards but if the pump needs work that may be more difficult Most early jet boats used modified outboard engines adapted to jet drives.

thanks it is the power head that needs work i take care of the pump,but the optimax is too complicated for me and i cant find anyone to work on a sport jet i think i need work on the fuel rails

ok just be sure they know it is a v6 because there was a sport jet 120 and 90 hp made by force that had all sorts of issues and that was the first thing I though of when you said sport jet. You won't find people who work on those very easily. And they had the mercury name on them , examples Bayliner Reflexx with Mercury 90 Sport jet BY1999 Help Mercury 120 X2 sport jet vill not run well

It's not that it's a sport jet, more than it's a OptiMax, no one want to work on something they know will fail again and again, a good Merc mechanic can fix it BUT ( it's the but part that stops most of them OPTI-JUNK, if you can find an MR motor you'll be far better off in the long run, they'll last 10 times longer.

it is basically a mercury V6 outboard power head put on a jet pump like the 4 and 3 cylinder mercury jets were outboard powerheads from the force outboards what issue are you having magnets coming loose from the fly wheel?
