Author	Topic:   1993 Rage rpm and impeller pitch
sailnphotog	posted 03-24-2004 02:48 PM ET (US)         I am wondering if anyone has knowledge of the typical max rpm the 93 Rage reaches (Yamaha 50 hp), mine usually tops out around 5500. Also, the impeller was changed to a stainless model and I am wondering what the pitch should be, could pitch affect rpm?? Thanks for any help!

I believe the lower the HP and Torque the greater effect pitch has on rpm. The jets are limited to impeller diameter, the greater pitch the more water you move with each rev. The more water you move with the same HP/torque the less RPMs you'll reach at WOT. Good luck jetting
