155mm pump in 2011 XFS hull?

[Rudan]

I've heard that there would be a problem fitting a 155mm pump to a 2011XFS hull? Does anyone know if this is true?
I am thinking of replacing my 148skat with a 155skat pump. But do not want to modify my carbon hull...

It's actually easy now RRP make a specific pump shoe (without the inner ring) that fit right in. Used to be a right pain with grinding etc but simple now.

I've done and run two XFS of your shape with this 155 setup and it works really nice.

You'll notice there is no inner collar to worry about - but straight up to firewall.

Dammmmmm that would have saved me a bunch of grinding. When I did mine.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that you can't physically fit a 155 into the older xfs/xfr..?

I thought they came with a tunnel shaped for a 148 only also, but it sounds like he found a way?

The shoe change is all that is required. The pump will fit. My pump fits in a SJ hull it's the shoe that's the issue.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'll have a go then!

I had a mates OEM 155 at mine and offered it up into my 2011 Carbon xfs.

Its tight but will go with a bit of tinkering.

@g-ski you see this info..? I see an upgrade this winter.

I will say you may have clearance issues with the ride plate. But you can grind out a hole so it's not touching.

hmmm, my next upgrade

Mine is 2013 XFS but if I could fit one in my superjet then I assume I could get one in an older XFS

It's fits no problem at all, done two of them already myself! It's snugg doing the jubilee clips up but take you're time and it's fine! Major upgrade in thrust over a 144 for sure.

Yes the ride plate touches the bottom of the pump flange but only rests there.

Skat 155 on it's way now. I will post some feedback when I get it installed.

So after some real struggling the pump is finally there.
It took some grinding on the new pumpshoe and on the wearring housing.

I fitted a skat 155 non setback. (OEM housing with skat interior)
I used a -97 +10mm driveshaft.

Actually no clearence issues with the rideplate.

BUT it was tight to get everything in place.

no testride yet so cant tell you if it did big difference or not. But I sure hope so.

We set a 155mm skat mag into a a 2012 xfr and it fit with no issue. I wish I would have known this years ago.. great info for future builders.
