SXR SXR SOLAS Pump Problem

[///M5]

I purchased a Solas Pump for my SXR, and after install the shaft slid back and wrecked my couplers and dampner. I saw a thread (http://www.x-h2o.com/index.php?threads/solas-kawi-pump-question-diveshaft-no-worky.112460/) where someone had a similar issue and shimmed the shaft forward by inserting a piece of hose into the prop spines. My issue with this approach is that the splines are now not fully engaging the shaft, and I don't want to damage my shaft or prop running it this way.

Is there a combination of couplers that I could use that could make up the gap? I dont mind having to machine them down to make it fit properly.

Thanks,

Can you get a few mm from sliding your motor back as far as it will go .I had to use a small piece of cooling hose aprox 3/8 -1/2" into the nose of the prop ,in my case there was still plenty of spline engagement ,never had an issue .I was given this as a solution from a reputable source .But to answer your question about the couplers not sure maybe maybe ada style with washers to keep them from threading in all the way could help you.

Yeah I was looking at the ADA, but they are pretty much the same as stock. I want to find a set meant for another application but has a longer nose. I will try moving the motor back and see how much gap it takes up.

You can also take the couplers off, and put a washer or two behind each to space closer together. Check shaft movement forward/aft, and like stated above put a small piece of hose in impeller as a bumper.

Thanks I'll try that. JM found me a long ADA coupler that I can cut to size if I'm not comfortable with the spline engagement.
