I’m just getting around to installing mine now but I am also switching from stock stator w tbm stuffer to solas, so with multiple variables it won’t be very scientific.
SBT Adonis impeller?
- Thread starter yamanube
- Start date
What engine in front of it? Cavitation from a dig?
I recieved the impeller today and printed off a simple gauge to check it over. As far as I can tell all the blades where very similar in pitch at the leading and trailing ends (almost identical from blade to blade, less than a half degree discrepancy). I measured it to be a 12/17, maybe 12.5 (advertised as 13/17). As long as my current impeller comes off easily, I'll probably test it this weekend in my FR2.

Sure looks like the stock yamaha one, maybe it's just the integrated hex.
I though the Adonis ones were supposed to be polished?

Can you measure another impeller using the same gauge like a hooker or stock or something so we can compare. Also thank you for being the guinea pig!

no Slip It fits the wear ring. I will says it’s not a beautiful smooth looking prop like a solas. Little wavy as I can see in this pic. Maybe they had a cost savings idea and took away the polish and it helped mask surface anomalies

I just pulled a Solas Concord "14/18" small hub out of my ski and measured anywhere from 11-13 leading and 17-18 trailing.Can you measure another impeller using the same gauge like a hooker or stock or something so we can compare. Also thank you for being the guinea pig!

or just way its MFG.
Yes, that is what I was implying. It is manufactured to be setback against the stator more than the Solas. It also fits my wear ring tighter, but that might just be two seasons of Daytona Beach sand extrusion.
You can buy them either way. I remember reading somewhere that polishing doesn't make a difference.
This got me thinking of ways to check the angle of my impeller blades. I have several devices for checking angles for construction. After some testing the best one was a Harbor freight magnetic angle finder. I made sure I was on a hard flat surface and checked that the guage read zero. I then checked several impellers I have and the guage read spot on. Only can be used on leading and trailing edges but that's all I can correct anyway.

Burned a tank today, first time with my Rickter in the surf. The Adonis impeller is a significant improvement over the Solas that was in the ski. Felt stronger off idle and a bit better hookup in the whitewash. Pretty happy with it overall, and the price was great. I'd like to compare it to an OEM superjet impeller in the future.

How you liking hull?
Very much, it feels very similar to a superjet. It felt very comfortable right away and was an easy transition. I dare to say, it could be better with a couple inches taken off the back.

Just tried it out and works pretty good. Huge difference over stock and had no problems hooking up. Seems to be a pretty good quality for the price.
