The Inducer impeller is a revolutionary new concept that feeds water to the jet.
Because the Inducer is not shrouded it can flow 20% more water to the impeller
than the impeller can use. This helps keep the impeller loaded and absorbing all
the power the engine can produce.
Problem :Pulling skiers with small impellers (B or C) and high
performance engines. The small impeller does not work well for the hole shot but
is designed to let the motor turn more RPM at top end to reach desired speeds.
This makes pulling skiers near impossible.
Solution: The inducer impeller is designed to feed enough
water to the impeller to keep it hooked up. Resulting in tremendous hole shot
and the ability to pull skiers. This does not affect the top end
speed.
Problem: Heavy white water. In
turbulent white water the jet takes a gulp of air causing the impeller to
spinout while negotiating a large rapid. In some cases the jet can take too long
too recover resulting in a potentially dangerous situation.
Solution: The inducer feeds water to the impeller almost
instantaneously. Resulting in no toss of forward progress.
Problem: Large heavy boats with a radical engine. The large
boat dictates that the impeller should also be large. By using a large impeller
hole shot is increased but the motor cannot turn the appropriate RPM to reach
desired top speed.
Solution: By using a
smaller impeller along with the inducer a person can have the best of both
worlds and not sacrifice hole shot or top end.
