Will a stock Raider stainless impeller work well in a stock SJ???

[Shifty]

I bought a a Raider the other day for parts and was thinking I could use the stock impeller on my girlfriends superjet. Has anybody had any experience with the Raider impeller?

Thanks in advance,

I would think the pitch would be geared more for top end? Haven't heard many people doing this. Aren't they both aluminum, so why bother?

The raider uses a 155mm pump and your sj has a 144, so neg without modding it, and it's probably not worth it

I think Raiders have 144mm pumps just like SJs. However their impellers are usually one step steeper like maybe a Solas YB-SC-J instead of an I which is what you would use on a stock SJ. An imp like that would work on a 701 with a pipe.

Ah, well, I thought the 1100's came with 155's, but I forgot they also made a 701 Raider, and apparently those came with 144's. So I guess it would depend on which one he has as to whether or not it would actually fit.

raiders with 144's have alum impeller. great paperweight, not a great prop.
I have a cherry stock SJ alum impeller if you really want to ruin a ski's performance with it.

I dont know what to say, but this Raider prop slides right in a 144 wear ring and is stainless for sure. It came with a 62T and the reduction nozzle is 62T like the 2008 SJ. Did aftermarket impellers ever come with the hex on the nose of the prop?

Thanks again,

Base 701 raiders came with aluminum prop. 701 deluxe and 760 Raiders came with stainless 17/20 props.

I dont know the pitch but if it is a 17/20, how would this run in a stock SJ. Is this geared more for top end being from a Raider and all?
