Status of new propeller + propeller housing for the 6305

[TJQ]

Hi,

I was wondering if these parts are now available? If I'm not mistaken around mid-2011 they were approximately 6 months away.

Thank you,
Tyler

That update never happened and is not technically possible as I had mentioned at a later point, the upgrade will be a discount/exchange on a 6255 pump with a warranty reset, it will be prorated based on pump age. The wide housing only works with a new fixed shaft design and a bigger prop results in 0 gains as the motor slows from the drag, a new motor was therefore needed to run a bigger prop. The 6255 has been delayed several times, we expected them in Aug/Sept. The good news is they are almost ready and should arrive before Christmas.

Hi it looks like the 6255 is out now, what is the process to get a replacement? I purchased my 6305s from J&L aquatics in Canada.

I would contact Xenia, I only handle the US market. Part 6301.015 is the replacement part to upgrade to 6255, however, older stock would be a 6305 and the new stock with 6255 is just starting to come in. I would confirm the stock is the new model and then you can order this part to upgrade the pump and the warranty would be reset for the new pump.
