SXR 800 Pump replace or repair

Looking for a solution for the pump issue of corrosion getting between the stainless sleeve and the pump housing. Anyone have experience with this? I would like to fix what I have or have it done if there is a good way to remove and replace the sleeve.

I’ve been looking for a replacement and have considered the Solas pump option Since I‘m having no luck finding a good used pump. Anyone use the Solas pump? If so are there any issues with the installation?

Used pumps: I keep seeing listings for pumps from various 750 models but the 800 has a different model number. What other pumps if any can be used for the SXR?
OEM parts are so expensive and everything is sold separately ,,,,,,,

What is the best solution? This is my primary ride and is only used in ocean surf.

I ran the Solas pump for a few years in our SXR, it worked great, less cavitation. Like any pump switch there’s always things you have to figure out, waterlines, nozzles, etc. but overall it was pretty easy.

You can recline a pump yourself if you’re savvy enough. I believe Atlantic Jet Sports sells replacement liners.
When I did it I used a small cutoff wheel on a dremel to add a slit in the sleeve, then worked it out. Clean all corrosion in the pump housing. Heat the pump and freeze the new liner and it dropped in. Typing it out made it sound simpler than it was, but it was totally doable and I did it in a couple hours.

I've replaced a few liners now on Kawi 750/800 pumps, just did a 650 pump as well. It's pretty straight forward. I bought 20 ton press just to do my SXR pump 5 years ago.

I have a 1990 TS, that sits in the water year round. I live on the backwaters of the Mississippi. After 4 years of sitting in water, the pump became quite brittle from the corrosion, so much I replaced the housing. This lead me down the road of ANODES!!

Long story short, even in "fresh water" your stuff can galvanic corrode. If you leave it sitting in water, put an anode on the pump! The aluminum pump housing is the least noble metal without an anode. I install anodes on my re-manned pumps now. You can get a ski doo one for $5. Cheap insurance.

I also put bearing retaining compound in between the sleeve and the pump housing. This will keep water from entering the area and leaving salts. You'll just have to heat the pump up to remove the liner next time ;)

Put a solas pump kit, with trim and their reduction nozzle in my sxr due too stock pump looking like a beaver got ahold of the stator veins. Got a smoking deal on it from the sketchy looking opentip website. The pump bolted right in. Only issue i had was the pro watercraft ride plate had an interference fit with the trim/reduction nozzle, nothing a little sanding didn't fix. Currently not running the downward trim, but if I was to run the trim, not sure if the pro watercraft plate would work without extreme modification.

I used to replace my Seadoo liners and grease the housing before inserting the liner but never thought of anodes. Great idea!

Also a good idea and I have found what appears to be a good pump and plan to seal the edges of the liner When it arrives.
I still want to get the original pump rebuilt and Keep the other for a spare.
