what props for SXi?

[Wolf Child]

It looks like most any of the late model Kawi props will fit on and SXi according to the Solas fitment page. is this correct? can I use a prop from a ZXi or any of the other couches? is there an accepted pitch that anyone would recomend for more bottom end?

What mods have you done?

nothing yet the engine is bone stock. I has a Solas Intake (twin scoop) and and R&D ride plate.

I want to get the fly wheel lightened and the head shaved. those are on the short list.

Skat 9/17 props work great on a sxi. You could use a standard or c75 mag prop

so stick with the stock pitch? just go with a better prop?

I did a lot of research on this topic about 6 months ago. This ^ is what I consistently came up with. Many people recommended to go with the Skat 9/17 C75 impeller. It has a larger diameter hub on the impeller. Even if you don't run a different pump (which the impeller is intended for), the larger hubbed impeller with the C75 series is apparently great with the stock pump. Something else many people recommended, is an 80mm nozzle (which your boat might already have if it's an SXi, and not the SXi pro). Or you can try running the reduction nozzle from a 650sx which is apparently larger

Other options I came up with are:

Solas Concord 11/16... but have it repitched to 9/14

OR

Skat Trak 8/16... I assume with this would be good with a stock diameter SXI Pro pump which is somewhere around 76mm I think.


Most people recommended the C-75 9/17 by Skat Trak
