I've been want to buy and install a place diverter or jetovater for a long time. Can anyone help me out with what model Berkeley I have? Sorry, this is the only pic I have of the jet. Also, do you recommend a droop snoot as well?

Should have a plate on top of the pump ...

Ok, thanks. I'll check it next time we are at the river. That's where it's stored.

Any special tools needed to install a place diverter?

Mounting it to the jet is just simple hand tools.

The tricky part will be putting a hole in the hull or transom adapter for the control cable.
Were you going with a manual or hydraulic control?

The diverter will be the same regardless of what Berkeley pump you have.

You can run your stock steering adapter if you don't want issues with steering.  If you want to upgrade to a mini-droop, the Place Diverter HPH would be an excellent choice and you most likely would be able to make a minor adjustment to your steering tube for the difference in length without needing a steering extension.

A full-droop could produce too much lift for your hull and develop a porpoise.

You can install two bulkhead fittings in a convenient location on the left side of your transom housing for your hydraulic lines.
