i run a 140 mag and could tell a difference in all water conditions and i dont agree with the whole "high rpm" thing. i would personally never go back to a stock pump.
Say whatever you like here cause I could care less
I have both a 140 and 144 mags and Im in no rush to get rid of either. You guys come ride a flat, land locked lake and tell me a mag isnt worth the money. I cant believe some of the comments Im reading here.
Quite a few of you Boys need to find out first hand and not drink all the kool-aid they try and serve you!
anyone that thinks there stock pump is better has no clue. i cant ride a boat without a mag pump anymore. even with a limited 701. 140 144 148 are all good pumps. i have 4 boats i ride they all have mag pumps in um. so does my blaster. hell i even put a 148 mag in my stock b2.

im coming to to conclusion that anyone who says mags do nothing, either:
1. have never tried one
2. cant afford one
Yamaha never made a 140.
i dont think many could tell the diff in flat smmoth water either,in a blind test.they shine in whitewater,but its a waste of money otherwise
First off I believe a OEM pump is 140mm not 144mm, however the main difference between a Magnum pump and a stock pumps design is such that a Magnum pump requires less water to pressurize the pump and produce thrust. This advantage is really only noticeable in rough/churned up water conditions such as on a race track following in someone else's wake or in the ocean on the whitewater created by a breaking wave. In smooth water most people can't notice an advantage of a mag pump over a stocker.

i put a 9/15 hooker in my mag, was amazing how much MORE improvement that there was
you sir, need to not comment on things you obviously have no clue about. there is no conceivable way you cannot notice the difference on a mag pump in any condition.
SO tell me just what magical combination are you guys running that's getting you so much better performance from your mag on SMOOTH water? I really want to know because I have two identically set up limited Superjets with the exception of the pumps. One has a 140mm set back Mag with a 14/19 skat and the other has an OEM pump with a 11/17 hooker. Like I said previously, my Mag equipped ski really shines in both churned up flat water and in the whitewater of a breaking wave in the surf but on SMOOTH water their performance is pretty much identicle. So what prop pitch should I be running to get this fantastic SMOOTH water performance?
Hey John.
I went from a stock pump with a 13/17 Skat Freeride Swirl with stock cone and stock nozzle to a 140 12V mag. Impeller is a Skat 13/17 (different impeller though!) With medium cone and 140 Skat nozzle bored to 82.6
Gains were phenomenal everywhere - awesome acceleration gains plus top speed gain. Most noticeable on flatwater.
When I swapped everything into the Superfreak, the impeller got pitched up to 14/17.
I can't take any credit for the pump setups - Art helped me with all that and he was spot on every time.
I don't know that any of this would work for you, though. My motor is kinda high strung.
