promac highbanker Gast 263

[Kozygold77]

Hello everyone I am new to the forum lots of great info on this site

I have a promac 3" Dredge/Highbanker Combo that was a 6.5hp gx160 with HP350 Pump i think it has a 2 inch out and 3 (2 3/4 intake) I am running a 3 inch hydroforce. I picked up a old gast 263 compressor and rebuild kit and wanted to know

1. Is the 6.5HP enough to run the compressor and have enough suction to run the hydroforce or should i run it with a seprate motor for the gast?


thanks for the help

welcome back to Tnet, lots of places you could use the hydo-force without diving
if you add the weight of the Gast might be harder to pack in.
the Honda GX160 is a 5.5hp the GX200 is a 6,5
must be an older setup they dont make promac pumps any more
it should run alright if you want run the gast on it.

Yes the recommendations worked great still have some fine tuning to do with the amount of water flow but the hydroforce works great!!

Thanks for the info
