I just got a 1995 kawasaki 750ss 55hp and it runs great and pulls real good in smooth water. When its wavy, it seems to cavitate real bad and "catch". I notice if I feather the gas its not as bad but if I open it up in the waves it never really catches. I thought it this was normal but my buddy brought his 96 seadoo 32hp out and this thing grabs and pulls way better in the waves?
Someone told me the kawasaki's have problems with cavitation, is there something to I can do to fix it? or something with the impeller?? the wear ring?

Thanks
Brian

 

is there a ride pplate on the bottom? different ride plates will preform different.

 

oh yeah welcome to KF

 

ya It has an aftermarket ride plate, but I have the stock one
I was going to try the stock one, but someone told me that would not affect cavitation

also anywhere to download the service manual?

 

everything looks good from what I can see

some are telling me to try a solas impeller and a r&d intake grate



if I were to try one which should I try first?

the solas impeller? do i need any special tools to install it?

Thanks

 

not sure man about wich one first. should'nt need any special tools tho just a metric set.
