Help with intake grate and prop!

[CarFanatic]

ok, So I'm gettin better at riding my SJ and I'm totally hooked!! I want allittle better hook up in the water, I unfortaunatly ride mainly in chop. Everyone says the worx grate. Which prop should I look at? This is a freestyle ski! What about ride plate? leave it stock? This is a complete stock boat. All I have added is a bilge pump and xmetal bars. Also If I change out the pump, Do those pump cones from blowsion help increase water flow?

Worx 201 intake grate. As for a freestyle impeller, most will reccommend either a skat-trak swirl or a concord, in a 12/17 pitch. I went with the skat trak but I've been told they are virtually the same

that all I need?? IS there a how to on the install? I know how to do seadoos never done a yamaha!

You will need the spline tool that hold the shaft and an installation tool which usually comes with the impeller.
Installation on a Yamaha is easier than a Seadoo so dont worry.

They will get you everything you need for the install. There are some threads laying around here also showing the step by step install process.

so go with the skat trac 12/17? what about ride plate?

 

[Boris]

I think a d-cut stock plate is the best.
Save the money you would spend on some fancy ride plate and put it towards a pipe.

You know you want a pipe. :biggthumpup:

 

[CarFanatic]

yes I do want a pipe!! I"m afraid of tuning it though... not very good with carbs never really messed with them.

How can you do a d cut stock ride plate? you do this yourself? or send it out?

If you're riding mainly in chop, I would go with the 12/17 or 13/18 Skat-Trak Swirl impeller because the blades are longer then the Solas Concord.

The pump cone is just to help bottom end power.

 

[CarFanatic]

ok so worx 201 grate and skat track impeller. Whats the difference between the two pitches? I guess I'll keep the stock ride plate for now.

My SJ had the Worx intake and Solas 'I' prop when I first got it. I switched to a Solas Concord 13/16 set back 3mm, and it made a big difference in hookup in choppy water. I'm not saying get a Solas instead. Just that Impros recommended the set back for better hookup. This can be done to other props.
