Suction Housing Bolts New
« on: October 15, 2015, 06:46:55 PM »
Hey guys, looking for a little help and info here. This is my first jet so be gentle. Lol!  I just picked up a boat from another member and while looking everything over I noticed that the rear bolts on both sides of the suction housing, closest to the keel, look like they're backed out. Are these supposed to be snugged down?  Any other time I would typically just run them in but with this being my first jet boat I'm hesitant to do so.

This is an American Turbine pump with a ride plate and B1 loader. Thanks guys.

Hard to tell but is that the intake? Its,glued to the hull correct? Typically 4 bolts are used as "feet" to adjust the intake to the correct position before final installation they are bigger than the others usually they do not go through the hull to the underside  if there are nuts on all the others it's a good chance that s what they are

It's a good thing you didn't try to run them down...

Awesome!  This is what I was thinking. It is glued down and to me they looked like adjustable stops. That's why I didn't want to just tighten them down. They're at all four corners and that makes perfect sense. Thanks again guys.
