Freestyle OEM 155 2015 rickter

[Forrest McLauchlin]

I've seen a lot of people just re tap the factory cooling port on an OEM 155 pump. I don't have my hull yet to check for clearance but I'm trying to do something productive while I wait lol. Anyone running an OEM 155 pump on a rickter? Some tips would help. Thanks

I flipped the stator upside down so the factory outlet is on the left side of the ski and not interfering with the steering cable. Then tapped another fitting on the steering cable side out of the way of the cable.

Flipped the stator.

Flipped the stator.

So I see you flipped it and re tapped. Can I just flip it and not have to retap it? And I'm also gonna run the OEM trim ring.

Did you have to grind it down to clear the ride plate?

Flipped mine and no retapping. Mine clears just fine. Fully rebuilt mine with all new bearings, bored reduct nozzle and 6/12 prop from Jetmaniac. I feel a big difference im real happy with it and I had a 144 mag before this.

Another thing you ether need a +10mm longer shaft from jm or need to push back your midshaft 10mm and run a rrp midshaft coupler spacer to have proper spline alinement if not you will wear out your splines prematurely.

I can't remember exactly why I ground it an re tapped. It was hitting the trim cable or the angle to the cooling line was bad.

That's great to hear Do you know how much you bored your nozzle? And what pump cone are you running?
