WTB / WTB: Harman Marine driveline cover
« on: July 08, 2013, 12:39:14 PM »
Looking for one of the old school Harman Marine driveline covers. Thanks

Selling this dizzy and coil. This stuff came on  my boat. Last year I installed new electronics in the dizzy and I also replaced the cap & rotor. I have some bushings and springs for the advance. I had my boat out 17 times last summer with zero issues. Recently switched to HEI so I have no need. I don't know if this is a "marine" version or not. The distributor has some rust in it and in no way, shape or form does it effect the performance. $175.00 + shipping from 91506 + 3% paypal. Money order is ok.

For some odd reason, this site no longer allows me to post pics. If interested, I can email or text pics.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Going crazy planing my header plumbing
« on: December 28, 2011, 12:06:28 PM »
I picked up some used Bassett OT headers and a T valve 2 months ago and the headers are currently at the chrome shop. Going tomorrow to pick up some lines and fittings. I'm in the process of trying to sketch out on paper how to plumb these things and I am going  :screwy: I've searched old threads on this forum and others and every thread has different answers.  My boat currently does not have a tstat and I am not sure if I need to run one. Also, I'm having trouble figuring out if I need one or two water dumps. What temp is the water coming out of the water dump(s)? Do I need some kind of pressure regulator that is set at a certain pressure inorder to avoid blowing head gaskets? How many valves do I need before the headers inorder to regulate water volume? Some say 1 (near the jet) and some say 2 (1 near the jet and another by the drivers seat) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Another electric fuel pump question
« on: December 22, 2011, 09:48:34 AM »
While I have the engine out of the Rogers this winter I'm gonna switch from mechanical to electric. My plan is to get a Holley Red Marine pump and mount it in the same location as the mechanical pump via a bracket that I found thru CP Perfomance. This bracket will allow me to mount the pump directly onto the block (passenger side on a BBC where the mechanical pump would be located) I told a friend about my plan (he is very vocal) and he says that this won't work. According to him, Holley Red pumps move fuel not suck fuel and since the tanks would be sitting higher than the elctric pump, my engine would starve for fuel and I run the risk of burning the pump out. Any thoughts? He suggests mounting the pump to the inside of the transom at either the same level as or higher than the tanks. If I had the room I'd do it, but I don't.

The No Wake Zone / Question for fellow SoCalers
« on: November 04, 2011, 12:27:26 PM »
What city do you live in and are you happy there? I live and work in Burbank. Lived here all my life and I'm sick of it. My wife and I feel like Los Angeles no longer has anything good to offer and to be honest some parts of Los Angeles are like a 3rd world country. I feel like it's time for a change in my life and moving to a different city is at the top of my list of priorities. I was thinkin of maybe Valencia/Canyon Country but I here that it's getting way overcrowded out there. Simi Valley looks like it might be a better option. I like Orange County, but the commute to and from my work in Burbank would kill me. I really like Redlands alot. Nice and guiet little city that is very family friendly. We have a kid on the way and it seems like a real good place to raise a family. However, in the summer it's very hot and it's one hell of a drive to be doing 6 days a week. Any recommendations?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / BBC casting numbers
« on: September 19, 2011, 09:25:09 PM »
Do the numbers that are stamped on my block and cylinder heads mean anything at all? The shop that is doing my carb needs info on my setup and I know nothing about my motor. If the numbers mean anything, is there some sort of book or web site that would help me decode? Mainly I'd like to find out if my heads are oval or square port and if I can figure out what kind of vehicle the motor was built for then may be I can figure out other things like intake/exhaust valve sizes and compression ratio.

Interior / Is this even possible?
« on: July 11, 2011, 10:48:17 PM »
I replaced my fuel tank carpeting 4 months ago and the carpet on the passenger side tank has some spots that are melted. I posted the problem with a picture on another forum, and some members are saying that the reflection of the sun off my billet battery box is what's melting the carpet. Is this even possible? Some spots look almost as if someone took a soldering iron to the carpet. I don't have any fuel leaks that I am aware of. I was disconnecting the battery as I was thinking that I maybe had some sort of electrical short in the boat.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Strange stumble with BBC
« on: July 06, 2011, 06:53:10 PM »
So my bbc has a strange stumble that I'm having issues diagnosing. Base timing is set at 14 and total advance is 35 The stumble is present when I first take off and again just as the secondaries open. The carb is a Holley 750 and I first started out with 74/80 jets and a #55 power valve. Now I'm at 77/81 jets and a #65 power valve. The problem seems to be there but it"s only abut 75% better. I pulled some plus today and it looks like the motor might be running a bit on the lean side. The plug color is like a light gray and nowhere near the white when I first started running the boat. The ignition system is all new and fuel pressure is within specs. Any ideas? I was thinking of maybe going down to a #55 power valve and increasing the primary jets by one. Also, the timing at 14 has me kinda nervous since factory spec calls for a base of 10 If I bring down from 14 to 12 my total advance ends up at 33 which is h=good but then the stumble off idle is worse.

Trailers / Trailer bunks: Choosing correct lumber
« on: July 05, 2011, 12:37:05 PM »
Need to replace my bunks like yesterday and I know nothing about this subject. One friend says that I need pressure treated lumber and another friend says no to the pressure treated but he can't remember the reason why. Also, I looked at 2x4's but they look to be thicker than what I currently have. Is it possible that my trailer bunks are 1x4's?
Thanks in advance

SoCal Lakes / Holiday wknds. and SoCal lakes
« on: June 28, 2011, 11:58:19 AM »
Can anyone tell me how busy the SoCal lakes get over holiday weekends? My wife and I are debating on whether we should hit up Castaic, Piru or maybe Elsinore this Sat and Sunday. My wifes almost 5 months pregnant and she doesn't feel comfortable about launching the boat if the ramp is super busy.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / OTD HEADER QUESTION
« on: June 13, 2011, 02:45:45 PM »
I've been looking at used over the transom headers for my BBC and I'm a little confused. The two brands I'm interested in are Rewarder and Bassett and I've seen the word term "twisty style" used on several occasions. Some of the headers I've seen are listed as twisty style and others are not. Honestly, they all look the same. Is there a difference between twisty and non-twisty or are they all the same?

Boat Showcase / What model Hallett is this?
« on: May 22, 2011, 10:14:01 PM »
My buddy asked me to post some pics of his Hallett. He's not a member and he'd like to know what model Hallett does he own. He's had it for about 1.5 years now. It is a '78 and the length is 19'

SoCal Lakes / Castaic this Saturday
« on: May 19, 2011, 12:54:39 PM »
I'll be out there for some more testing with the Rogers. Need to see if the carb is dialed in and if the water leaks are fixed. Temp won't be ideal as it will be like 75 degrees. My friend will be there also in his Hallett. His boat is brown metal flake. My boat is red/white/blue. Say hi if you see us. We'll get there at about 9 am

Boat Showcase / GOT HER ALL WET!!!
« on: May 06, 2011, 03:03:21 PM »
Took the Rogers out for some testing this morning. Arrived at Castaic at about 07:30 This is my first time taking this boat out and the first time that she has seen water in about 5 or 6 years. Ran pretty good, as I still need to play around with the carb and timing a little. Noticed some water leaks from the right side swim step bolts and left side exhaust opening (thru the transom) Overall, I'm very happy. All the work I did really paid off. Here are some pics.

Boat Showcase / I met my deadline!!!
« on: April 29, 2011, 02:52:32 PM »
After 4 months of working on the Rogers, I can finally say that she's all done. Planing on talking her out for the first time next Friday. I had set a deadline of 04/31/2011 and it looks like I made it. All I need to do is wash the exterior and clean up the interior. Planing on hitting the carpet with an extractor on Sunday. Theses passed 4 months have been bitter sweet. I bought this boat not knowing what I was in for. Lots of cuts and bruises. Lots of sleepless nights. She almost brought me to tears on a few occasions. I've learned so much about jet boats and thanks to everyone who answered all of my technical questions. I posted up some pics of the fuel switching valve I had installed and the new trailer wheels. I'll post picture of her in water next weekend.

Topock / Laughlin / Just got back from Laughlin
« on: April 19, 2011, 09:58:50 PM »
Just got back a few hours ago. I desperately needed a few days off from work and I thought I'd check out the Avi for the first time as I'm considering launching from there this summer. Here are some pics I took from the Avi. Didn't see alot of boats or pwc's. The current looked to be very strong. Is that normal?

Jet Pumps / Oil dripping from rear of Berk jet
« on: April 14, 2011, 03:48:55 PM »
I noticed that there is a small amounf of oil leaking from the rear of my Berk jet. I recall that when I had it out and while I was painting it, some oil would drip out of the bowl. But now the jet is in the boat and completeley assembled. Is this normal?

Jet Pumps / PD cylinder leaking
« on: April 04, 2011, 12:50:19 PM »
Over the weekend I decided to test the hydraulic PD (place diverter) and discovered that the cylinder leaks from the shaft. Does anyone know if the cylinder can be rebuilt? I'd like to avoid spending the 100 bux on a new one if possible.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Hardin fuel switching valve
« on: March 28, 2011, 02:50:12 PM »
Has anyone had any experience w/ this product? http://www.hardin-marine.com/c-1377-fuel-valves.aspx I'm thinking about installing one on my Rogers. Any feedback would be great and much appreciated.

Projects / Bilge pump question
« on: March 22, 2011, 07:44:53 PM »
While working on the boat today, I moved the bilge pump and I noticed that it makes noise. When I shake it, the pump sounds like there is something loose inside and rattling around. Almost sounds like there is a bb stuck inside. The pump is a Rule 500 GPH non-automatic. It works just fine when I turn it on.

Boat Showcase / Advantage or Titanic?
« on: March 21, 2011, 11:05:28 AM »
Had alot of rain over the weekend. Actually, it's still raining now. This is a very nice mid-80's Advantage that resides just up the street from my work.


23
Once I get my boat going again I plan on making some trips out to the Laughlin area with it. I was hoping that someone could tell me what hotels offer boat/trailer parking and also where the best spots to launch are located.

Boat Showcase / Finally got to work on the Rogers this weekend
« on: December 26, 2010, 09:32:05 PM »
After letting it sit for a while, I finally got around to working on my Rogers this weekend. I was able to work on her for 2 days straight. I installed a new fuel pump and fuel supply line up to the carburetor. I relocated the water seperator assembly and ran a new braided line from there to the pump. I installed a new in-line fuel filter that can be serviced.  I  Finally got around to installing a new Optima blue battery and I repaired the Dana Marine battery box. Started to clay, buff and wax the gel.  Changed the engine oil and attempted to perform a tune-up when I ran into a major problem once I removed the distributor cap. It appears that the prior owner didn't do such a great job of covering the boat in the rain. The distributor has so much rust in it, that I truly am amazed that the boat runs as good as it does. This week, if I have a chance, I'll remove and teardown the distributor and try to clean it up. I was toying with the idea of running all braided water lines. Instead, I ordered all new blue silicone heater hose from Summit Racing. If that stuff is good enough for police cars, then it's good enough for my Boat.
