Hey guys I'm a little concerned about the cooling temp on my BBC Berkeley jet 20 ft closed bow cruiser  all stock 150 hrs on the engine. Was in Havasu a couple weeks ago engine was hitting 180* in the chanel but going up or down river running 150 deg 160 deg. Is this normal i have a gate valve it was a little closed but now fully opened, the boat responds when you get on it out of hole any advice.

« on: March 09, 2016, 07:14:51 PM »
Can i get some advice, my bowl seal is not holding the gear oil in the bowl I have the parts to replace it, bearings new seal. Can this be done with out removing the jet out of the boat. It a split bowl I see the bolts that hold the bowl inside the boat could I just remove the bolts and take the bowl off.  What should I be looking for when it's off and what kind of silicone should I use putting it back together oh all so have the gaskets for the bowl and nozzle. Thank you for the advice in advance.

Jet Pumps / Vibration at idle.
« on: June 03, 2015, 06:09:55 PM »
Hopefully someone can help out. getting a vibration it seems like at idle, and it goes away at higher rpms. was thinking it was the exhaust the way the boat sits in the water and the swim steps above the tips. I have heard that the engine would have to be pulled out to replace the u joints, how hard would that be?
