Thanks guys this was some good information. Thank you from Alaska

[@DGM218]

I used this method on my Kawasaki impeller, I marked the outer edge of the blade near the wear ring in two places so I could make sure the angle at the leading edge, trailing edge, and center matched between all three blades along with the blade height. That may be overkill but it helped me maintain consistency since I was working both ends of the blades. Thanks for the video!

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

The more points the more accurate. After you do a bunch you kind of get a feel for it.

[@MrSteakPotato]

Glad to see you back, congrats on 4k subs. Hope you're doing well.

Some very informative videos!! Love it! Not sure why I havent subscribed earlier. Aloha, K

Thank you for your time making this great video you can't find any videos for impeller pitching! I will like to see you work on a 4 Blade Sollas Concord impeller. Aslo in Europe you can't find any tool gauges at all, I make mine with siple paper copies of degree angle measurements. 🤜🤛

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Order the tool from Watcon !!! Best tool out there

[@Simonxark]

@@EricksonMachinePerformance yes I know friend but I need extra 100$ import fee tax plus 60$ shipping and about 150$ the gauge so... That's a new impeller ha ha ha

[@cd155mx]

super helpful. Thanks

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Glad it was helpful!

Nice video , couldn't find the pix . Did send e-mail , thanks

[@jacobmessner5766]

i just swapped a 650 into my 550sx. however my impelled is pretty beat up and not allowing me to get everything out of this motor. What impeller should i buy and where?

[@jeanpardo1253]

Bello, pretty good tips and information, so thank you for sharing your knowledge. Would like to know where I can buy this device wich indicates dia correct position of the blades?

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

;like this? its a surface plate height gage www.amazon.com/HHIP-4401-2014-Steel-Surface-Length/dp/B01LTHJ364/ref=asc_df_B01LTHJ364/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=266042026982&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18223703843675899717&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004029&hvtargid=pla-630714679861&psc=1

Exact weld Maverick Two great pump shops

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Are these for pwc or Boats? I have never heard of either?

[@lazmartinez1605]

Where can I buy the pice to pich the prop

[@benselby6171]

Thank you for the vid. Question, I have a built 550 that needs at least 93 pump fuel, but I don’t want to run ethonal fuel. I have an ethanol free fuel station near me that has 90 octane and 110 octane at the pump. Should I just run 110 or should I mix the 90 and the 110 to get around 97 octane? Thanks

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Whats the compression and timing?

[@benselby6171]

@@EricksonMachinePerformance compression is probably around 190 and timing might be stock or slightly advanced. I didn’t build the ski.

[@acurarl9929]

Question: I have a 1999 merc 120hp jet boat that’s 900lbs with a 18/27 impeller and I’m currently adding 80hp. The manual says wot range is 4,700-5,300 rpm. I’m currently running right at 5,200 rpm. So I know with the added 80 hp I’m going to run into the rev limiter hard it runs an xr2 pump. They only Ofer 18/27 and 22/39 witch is used on 210hp and up. Wat would be the difference between impellers? Would I be able to run the 22/39? Are impellers same as propellers as in a 27 pitch means 27 inch forward travel in one full rotation on propellers. Is that hold true for impeller as well? Any suggestions?more info xr2 pump 184mm. Also the leading edge on these impellers at flat cut is it worth having it edge radius cut.? Handful questions here I know. I appreciate any and all feed back very much. Thank you.

[@elicarter1356]

Run the 22/39 it’s steeper which means less rpm but it will also raise your top speed

[@acurarl9929]

What about pitching big hub impeller on trailing edge for top speed???

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

It would be the same way. Just make the trailing edge steaper pitch

[@Harley365]

How much do you charge to refurbish a solas 15/20? Leading edges have a few small dings. Nothing big

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

sorry i just saw this can you email me pictures [e-mail]

Which tools are needed to properly do this job. Can you provide links?

[@keving1774]

I think you should just buy the right prop instead of adjusting it with a wrench

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

This is what skat-track and solas also do. They have castings that are 2 degrees or so apart and then adjust to what's needed. They don't offer every size and every setup is different. This is extremely common for performance applications. For optimal performance it's common to repitch props. This is also the same process for propellers on boats . There is no magic. It's just bending to an EXACT degree.

[@EricksonMachinePerformance]

Also some of these prop can range from $350-$800 each. Repitching is quicker and more cost effective and they equal each other when done in performance. Also if your impeller is worn out you can have it welded and repaired back to new for less then half the cost. We are a repair shop. When possible I like to fix instead of replacing IF there is not performance loss or its cost prohibited or time constraint. Best of luck. Thanks for watching
