Super Jet Solas 148mm pump

[masterblaster]

They priced the 144 mag perfect,being 12 vein and sep wear ring was a winner.Almost everyone bought it on price alone,one of the few a/m parts that did big production #s on price point alone. Price it right and make margins in volume,shut down the competition almost completely in the 144 arena.Make it avail to all the dealers that already have guru clients. No one needed to stand around and pedal it,talk it up.IT just sold on price alone. A motor may just come along like this in the 900cc arena. No one will ever sell thousands and thousands in this market,but easily more than most if avail quickly and priced to sell.

Scale couldn't weigh all at once, so Solas 144: 13 lbs, 14 oz

PFM 148 pump: 12 lbs, 11 oz

Maybe stupid question but can run the 144 solas and the stock wear ring or do you have to use theirs?

For the 144 you can use your own

Ok, but if you want to run the new 148 then you have to use the 148 wear ring correct?

Correct, you can use 144 pump shoe but you'll have to open it up to 148, I'm not sure stock ski use a 148mm pump

I am thinking of using the Solas 144 on my Blaster tripple. Has anyone done this and noticed better performance over stock? I would think rough water and whitewash would be way better maybe hook up too. Also they are only 350 now.

Just a reminder, We have Solas pumps, and wear rings IN STOCK. Both 144, and 148mm. We also have addressed the bearing fitment/tolerance issues, so you can purchase here with confidence.

I will say, they are MUCH better. I have only done a half dozen or so. I am still going to turn each one to open it up & reduce "press" as in my opinion, they are still a little tight.
