I am most likely going to be pulling my motor before the summer to re-paint it. I also need to put in new oil pan gasket because it's leaking and I got to thinking.....(this can sometimes be bad)

Since I am going to have the motor out and I am going to be messing with the oil pan should I just go to a 10 qt pan? I know they can be a bit spendy but I think it would be better than the stock pan that I have with the deep side in the front.

So my question is that if I go to a 10qt pan from my stock pan do I have to put in a new oil pump?

Thanks guys....

FWIW I put a Milodon on mine. It required a Melling M84 pump and a Milodon pickup. Already had the pump in the motor, so that was easy. Don't know about the dooley tho. Mines also a BBF. Tight fit, but I feel it's worth it, not only for the extra capacity, but with the windage tray and trap doors and baffles. Should keep the oil on the pickup head.

The 460 Marine engines came with a front sump Cobra Jet oil pan.  They hold 6 quarts and have an integral windage tray that also helps keep oil around the pickup.  For a front sump pan, they do pretty well in a jet boat...remember, they had to keep oil around the pickup in a car with tires on asphalt/doing hard acceleration (much more g-force than a jet boat at launch).

So, whether or not you "need" a 10-quart pan depends on how you run your boat.  That being said, a full-length rear sump large capacity pan certainly wouldn't hurt and would be a very smart move if you run your boat hard.  When your pan comes off for pan gasket replacement, what you need to do is at least confirm that you have a CJ oil pan that has the windage tray.  If you have a bone stock passenger car pan (no tray), then replace it with a rear sump jet boat pan for sure.

When changing from a front sump to rear sump oil pan, you need the pickup that goes with that specific pan and you usually have to also change from a front sump-style oil pump (M84B) to a rear sump style oil pump (M84D).  Some jet boat pan manufacturers offer two different pickup tubes for a given jet boat pan, one for each type of pump..so you need to know which pump you have if you keep your existing pump and order only a pan & pickup.

It took you 3 hours to type your first post and that is what you open up with? 


Man Hot Boat dies and the drama just spreads everywhere . . . 

And you're helping to curb the drama how? 

I read this as someone making his first impression here by accusing JBP of profiting unfairly from the work of another.  This shows Tom in a light that I think is unwarranted at best, and for a first post, it is at the least rude.
How did you read it?

Take it how you will, I just call them like I see them.  Sure seems to me that JBP is "manufacturing" a lot of stuff these days, makes me wonder when they had the time to design, develop, test and adjust then finally market all this new product. As for showing Tom in an unwarranted light, well let's just say that people put themselves in the light you see them in, I see shade.
