i am trying to install a skat trak 12/17 freeride swirl that is setback 3mm in my superjet. when i installed it and tightened it down, the impellar hub was sitting on the pump so the shaft would not free spin. I have never seen this and i have installed solas, hooker, and stock props with no problems. does this impellar require a spacer or washer or something to make it not sit so far back?

Sapcer plates...I think they are on eom impellers....kawasaki has them in different sizes ...
are they removable from the stock impellar. im holding a stock impellar and it seems to have a spacer but it looks like it is part of the impellar.
Could you post a pic of the washer. The impellar doesn't fit my blaster or my sj so I'm guessing the washer is not a stock piece?

If you want that impeller to fit with the -3 setback, you have to machine/grind away the area on the pump that is interfering. If you add washers/spacers, you loose that extra "setback" you paid for...
If you can get access to a lathe, it takes like only <5 minutes to do.

I had the same issue. For a 1mm spacer, I used the washer that goes between the piston and wrist pin berrings on the Yamaha motors.
From most my experience, the cutback seems to be a gimick. IMO: I notice no difference in hook up or any gain w/cutback vs non-cutback.
