Super Jet Aluminum impeller nose cone. Where to buy.

[kid4now]

Going over my ski for daytona I found the little rubber nose cone is gone. (I have a solas concord 13/17). Who sells the aluminum ones or rubber ones? You guys have any preference. I never had any problems with the rubber ones.

Thanks ,

The rubber POS always comes out for me, even if glued in.
The Pro cones work great, they have a little allen set screw that locks it in, just put a bit of blue loctite on it..

Thats cause its has a more hydro-dynamic shape than the rubber one. Plus, the rubber one flexes under pressure and flattens out causing blockage of flow.

They really pick up more low end and throttle response once you get the red anodizing off and polish them up real smooooth!

Well all BS aside, I asked about the nose boot a couple years ago and it's effects. I was told that the boot only makes a difference in flow at higher rpms. Even not having one at low speed has very little effect. I have no numbers to back this up but I thought it would go well as an FYI in this thread.

My rubber one was off and worked its way up the driveshaft towards the midshaft.


I couldn't tell when riding.

Thanks for the replies and entertainment. I found a rubber ..... one laying around so thats whats going on. I was just excited about spending money on an aluminum one. Well back to getting my ski ready that is going to run into the last minute again. uch:

Try removing the aluminum ones after a few months of saltwater use.
Stick with the rubbers, you'll never feel the difference or ever see the damned thing anyways.
