Title: Have anyone seen this?
Post by: BigGuy on July 28, 2009, 07:39:13 PM: I have only seen one other boat with this type of steering/jetavator setup. Is this combo steering/jetavator cable any good, or should i look at going with the normal three cable setup?

Post by: BigGuy on July 28, 2009, 07:46:02 PM: I said three as for one for the steering, one for the diverter and one for the fwd/reverse. sorry for the confusion

The Jet O Vator , is a decent piece when all there and working right , I like to compare it (the JetO vator) to a Place diverter with the annalogy of a Muzzle loader to and AR 15 The both shoot just one is a smidge more modern and efficiant Tom

Tom,

What is a used Jet O Vator for a JC worth if complete?

We see them go for "bank" $400 ish on CL and Ebay , do the next guy a "solid" thought give him ALL the pieces (odds and ends) that make it work anything missing will be a nightmare as most everything is obsolete !

ig Guy sorry for the thread "departure" ;)

If I'm reading right ? the Jet o Vater uses a standard steering cable and the shifter cable parralels it and "hitches" a hookup right at the inner steer tube area at the left upper corner of the transom adaptor It is in reality two seperate cables A standar steer cable and a 43 series cable for the shifter Tom

Post by: BigGuy on July 31, 2009, 09:17:11 AM: Chaz, that is what mine looks like, do you like that setup? I really havent seen too many like this so i didnt know how reliable or easy it is to maintain. Thanks guys for all the input.

Post by: GAWnCA on August 02, 2009, 06:08:46 AM: I've got a complete Jet-O-Vator that I took off my JC pump, if anyone is interested. Cables, and manual control.

Post by: The Chaz on August 30, 2009, 04:05:39 PM: I am looking to switch to a place divertor actually. It is OK, does not make a rooster tail, but it will keep the bow down. Maintainance has consisted of replacing the nylon o rings.
