Cool, thanks for the reply Dave.... I know when I cleaned and sharpend up the vanes in the pump of my 150's it made a difference. I'm waiting on my shop manual to see how to pull the prop off, I'm guessing it's not the same as a 150, spline tool and a vice ???

Same impeller tool for the 150 ,15f, and the 250 , Its pretty much the same for removal of all pumps.

Did this and put a radius on the scoop, put back in w/r&d stuffer kit. cavitation down and seems 2 be a bit faster @ top end.
