That's ok, I am at work, I have time... just kidding.
Make sure you post some pics of it installed and I won't ask for anything else.
Besides what do you need an up trim on an SXR for? You gonna do backies or something?

oke:Ok, here are a few pics of my setup for a PM requesting it.
8532 is bottom left in the pump cavity showing the steering cable, the blocked off fitting, and the empty siphon bilge fitting on the pump. It also shows the spring for the trim return.
8533 shows the aft pointing water fitting and the 5/8" waterline looping up and around to enter the top fitting through the hull. The black hose coming out of the middle through-hull fitting is the trim cable within a protective black hose.
8534 is the same thing, just back away and you can see the notched out section on the steering nozzle for the up trim.
8535 shows the trim cable running down the bottom of the hull to the left of the battery (gray reinforced [Blowsion] cable). I also have that through-hull fitting blocked off as it enters the hull. I think it's the middle one. (??)
Good luck, it's a great pump. I have bunny-hopped to the side, pulled the trim, and literally knocked my wife off her ski before so it certainly does what it's supposed to do.

Great setup info right there! Thanks for the pictures and write up. These pumps are great and highly under-rated. Back to back comparison of this pump vs a stock pump with pump cone showed marked improvement in handling and hookup. I have these pumps readily available if anyone wants a deal!

Have you tried different nozzle rings? Isnt it adjustable?

They are adjustable, but Solas doesn't sell the rings (go figure). We should look into having some different diameters machined...........................
I've attached a few more photos for anyone who is interested. Let me know if you anyone wants to try one of these, I will be happy to price one up.

I'd like to see the adjustable setups make a comeback. An adjustable reduction and steering nozzle setup is worth way more than a trim setup to me.

They describe the pump as coming with the adjustment rings. Kinda unclear about it now that dealer says they don't

They do not include different size rings. It wouldn't be too difficult or expensive to have them machined. If we had enough interest, we could have them done.
Thanks,

I've been running the Solas pump for just over a year in my SXR. Most notable is the hookup in chop behind another boat. It made a huge difference while running buoys. My boat has a wet pipe, TBM charging flywheel, 175 lbs psi, Novis and Advent T3.
Mike at Optima, put me on the list if you are having adjustable rings made up.

Does anyone know what kind of bearing setup is in the pump. Are they sealed, do they come with grease or should I run oil.
