Nice! Is there a port/stbd label on them like OEM?Wish they v would just install themselves lol
These are pitched port and starboard, my 255xd factory impellers are both the same. They didn't have specific on this model boat.Nice! Is there a port/stbd label on them like OEM?
No these are his stock pumps on a 2021+ 160mm pumps. One of his pisser ports was not blocked off.I’m trying to understand why the pisser was even a question @Wicked92 are you building entirely new jet drives? I do like that Yamaha started using non fouling paint on the jet drive components.
Well? Anything to report?It's going down. Found this one port open on starboard...obviously shouldn't be that way.... what it there for?
As a fyi …on the pre 25’ FSH boats one of those safety spray ports was routed inside the boat and hooked up to a coiled garden hose for a raw water wash down system. Great idea and it works but a bit anemic, imho Yamaha should have run both jet pumps safety spray ports into the raw water wash down and it would have performed much better.I’m trying to understand why the pisser was even a question @Wicked92 are you building entirely new jet drives?

Yes, they def work! I still got some spring testing to do as fall ended quicker than expected. But so far they have def increased my abilities with the boat wake surfing. Ive been able to bring an additional 1300-1400 in weight plus the factory ballast and maintain and hit speeds. Still have to play the game with the connext speed control but its far more manageable. Hole shot is ridiculous and cavitation has but been eliminated. I did drop speed though, went from 58 top to about 51-52 but leadingedge will be repitching before spring to bump top end up. Overall im very happy with the change in the boats attitude for water sports. The stacked keep the pumps packed, next best thing to an intake grate that isnt avail for these boats.Hate to revive an older thread but I’m curious about the results of these impellers on the 255XD since I’m considering purchasing one.
@Wicked92
Did you ever test the impellers after the install?
mind u this is only in 8-10ft of water in my bay. I wish i had deeper water that was easier to get to. We gonna travel this coming season to deeper waterways and really see what we can get.Hate to revive an older thread but I’m curious about the results of these impellers on the 255XD since I’m considering purchasing one.

How are they holding up performance wise? Did Leading Edge repitch them for you?Yes, they def work! I still got some spring testing to do as fall ended quicker than expected.
