Re: 1956 Scott 7.5 impellers.

quote jnjvan:

I’m pretty sure Brian is still making impellers, but not that particular Scott bail impeller. He told me a couple of years ago that he was having too many troubles with them (no surprise there, Scott had troubles, too).

I just corresponded with Brian on a Wizard impeller a couple of weeks ago. He is still in the biz.

Well, of course Scott had trouble with them too. You wouldn’t design an outboard motor with the impellers ABOVE the water, now would you? Especially when it’s a fact that dry impellers will roast out in five seconds LOL
Sott owners should spray a blast of WD-40 in the Bail-O-Matic nipple, to prevent that and help water pull up to the pumps.
If Brian Wilcox chooses to not help me, thats cool too.
