Powersports Impellers
One of the favorite means of active recreation, personal watercraft has greatly evolved since the time of the first production models. Water pumps have become more efficient, engine output has risen, four-stroke motors mainly superseded two-stroke ones, fuel injection supplanted carburetors, electronic ignition appeared, and so on. However, the main principle remains the same – a water pump creates a high-powered jet of water which makes PWC move. Located in the water pump, an impeller creates necessary thrust and features specially selected parameters to perform well. Actually, replacing the impeller, you can influence acceleration, bottom-end and top speed, and fuel efficiency.
One of the main factors influencing performance is an impeller pitch. In a nutshell, a smaller pitch gives quicker acceleration but decreases top speed, while a larger one does the opposite. The right combination will give you what you need. Also, there is a tricky solution called a progressive pitch where a smaller pitch at the leading edge is combined with the larger one at the trailing edge, allowing you to take the finest from both pitch sizes. However, there are some limitations to this technology connected with the use of overlapping blades. Engine power, expected RPM, and nozzle diameter also play a crucial role while choosing the right impeller design. In most cases, engine modifications are a strong reason to reconsider an impeller design to take full advantage of greater power and torque.
Made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel, PWC impellers available on our digital shelves perfectly resist corrosion, warping, and cracking. Designed with the use of the latest technology, they can be an excellent solution for restoring and/or upgrading your PWC and improving its performance. Besides impellers, here you will find impeller shafts and other accessories. Manufactured by leading companies such as SOLAS Propellers and WSM, these products feature high precision, proper balancing, and offer a long service life.
