@007jamesy1, I believe the OEM parts are listed at


and


Impros The Impeller Professionals – Impros is a Personal Watercraft Impeller Repair and modification service. may be able to tweak the Solas impellers that you have but that will be a larger project than returning to the OEM impellers and it is unclear that you would gain anything in the process. Impros is likely to be able to refurbish your original impellers.

The down side to this is I’m based in the uk and need the pitch spec to get anything done

https://shop.chastheboat.co.uk/ lists the parts

Port https://shop.chastheboat.co.uk/products/omc-0462234

and

Starboard https://shop.chastheboat.co.uk/products/omc-0462235

Look like they might work.

Impros might give you some advice over the phone but those angles are their trade secrets. Working with Impros would likely involve shipping the impellers back and forth multiple times. That seems impractical with the cost and time to ship across the pond.

Where do you boat in the UK? I lived in and around Cambridge for four years and in London for two.
