[QUOTE="flatboat, post: 371466, member: 5508"] Lil Blue Rude ...You know you must be a mind reader .... I was trying to make up mind to buy a stainless impeller . I have a merc 3 cyl 59 ci that has been tweaked a bit w/ a medium 6 1/8"outboard jet pump .After running it a while to get to know the limitations ,now I have more questions ! Curious about 4 blade or 3 also, if the leading edge can be repitched in jetskis , how about in outboard jets ? What about repitching the whole thing. thinning blades or cupping ? The reason I ask is , I can easily hit 6400 rpms with an aluminum impeller, and can easily cavitate it if I nail it trying to get up . space is right in the sleve , height is right on the money . This was my first experience with a jet ,thought i'd go with what was recommended for it . now its time to experiment on performance . [/QUOTE]
