Title: want a split bowl...
Post by: dustin on June 01, 2009, 06:26:41 PM: I have a 12 jc with a place diverter on it. But I want to go to a split bowl. Do I have to get a hole new pump or do they make a split bowl convertion for my pump. Thank you.

The cool thing about AMT bowls is that in the area where you'd normally put a stuffer, AMT has a machined area there. AMT makes impellers specifically for these bowls that has a wear ring skirt on the backside of the impeller that rides in that machined area, in effect acting like a built in stuffer.

Here's a vid of my boat running with an AMT split bowl and an Aggressor droop.

What kind of bowl are you putting on (make)?

Not at all. Now is it the old style bowl where the back bearing water lubricates, or the new one that uses the grease zerk on the hub of the bowl where the droop goes?

Post by: outlaw97609 on July 08, 2009, 10:10:45 AM: I am pretty sure it has no zerk on it, just emailed my buddy where the boat is at to ask him since he has all the parts there. But like i said I am pretty sure that it does not have a zerk on the dominator bowl.

Post by: Jetaholic on July 08, 2009, 10:19:51 AM: OK then more than likely it's one that water lubricates.

Should be a direct swap. If the bowl is used I would recommend changing out the bowl bushings and shaft seals.
