Title: Need help finding Place diverter.
Post by: Southwind Danny on June 01, 2017, 08:02:19 AM: 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?

It's a '73 Southwind.

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

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?

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.
