Pump identification question.

[G-Body]

Anyone have any idea what this pump was originally designed for? It is in a surfango jet kayak that my dad picked up but the impeller is done. It's a 100mm pump but it has extra cast in steering bosses and used adapter plates to mount it so it must have been used in something else. Surfango is based in Croatia so getting parts is very hit or miss.

Any casting marks/letters/numbers on the pump?

No that would have been too easy lol. I found someone who used to sell the kayaks and he said the pumps were proprietary. I also noticed that the impeller spins backward compared to all the jet ski impellers that I have seen. I sent an email to the company who took over surfango in Croatia and it looks like I may be able to get an impeller from them.

I wish you luck...post some pics when it's running!

I have had both of them running so far. The smaller sit on top one just needed a carb cleaning, at least until it shredded the impeller. The larger one is now a runner cause I pulled the electrical box out of the small one until I find a prop. The larger one needed an electrical box but the manufacturer told me that is no longer available. Luckily I disassembled the old one and it appears to just be a honda gy6 scooter cdi, coil, starter solenoid, etc glued into a box. They are a fun ride so far. But kinda slow.

Impros would probably be able to repair that impeller, FYI

Impros told me they can only repair stainless impellers. This thing is cast aluminum.
