A couple of weeks ago I swapped from a jet-o-vator and G bowl to a Place Diverter and C bowl. I had to take the rideplate off, as I no longer had an attachment point at the end. The boat went 5 mph slower :thumbdown:. I want to make a new rideplate, but I have a few questions. I'm going to need to make a cradle for the bowl but I'm not sure exactly where it's supposed to sit and how it attaches. My intake was milled and drilled by a previous owner. My old rideplate is a one piece plate/shoe thing. It's .250" thick and attaches with six .3125". Any thoughts on this?

En Do you still have your g bowl? Why dont you put your g bowl back on and then install the place diverter on it? Whala problem solved
-
Heres a "C" bowl and rideplate[attach=1]
-
Nordie, I was thinking that at some point I would possibly put a stuffer in the g bowl. So I just put the c on for now.
Mash on it, are those eyelets threaded into the bowl? If so, what size are they, and how deep do they go?
-
Chirs-
I was told thet were threaded into the bowl, poss 3/4" thick? (wild ass guess) I thought they were cast into the bowl, havent tried to remove them...
Greg at G.S. Marine did this in 1996? so I was told, also has shoe and sport loader, "AA" impeller
Thats all I got

No, it was just spray bombed red over silicone by the previous owner.

Mash on it, could you get me some close up pics please?
Luckie Stiff, thanks I'll consider that as an option as well.

looks like some vdrive cav plate turnbuckles were used?
-
Ya we're looking at the way the turnbuckles mount to the bowl
I was told GS Marine did the rideplate and the shoe, hence the conundrum of the turnbucle mounting points, are they a "screw in deally" or "tigged on", IDK?
thats all i got...

After seeing the same pics of Dozzr's bowl, I think I'd opt for Duane's brace/mount that Skip posted before I'd even tig on the thing.......... :sly:

It was a little unnerving tapping my brand new bowl. Then the next season I went with a 24" ride plate....the guy that made the ride plate...I told him what angle my plate was gonna be set...and the angle on the intake/jet and he custom made me a pump brace. So then I had to tap another set of holes.lol Fwiw I was told on pb that the pump brace(under pump style) was a better stronger alternative to the turnbuckle option.
