Jet Pumps / 12JC steering tube leak
« on: May 06, 2013, 08:26:10 PM »
I have found a small leak on my steering tube on my 12JC.  When in the water, a drop comes out where the cable goes in to the tube by the threads.  I recently replaced the cable, and I was wondering if there was something special I was supposed to do to seal this off?

Boats For Sale / 1976 Hallett 19' Bubbledeck Gerard Hinderlich
« on: May 01, 2013, 08:06:21 PM »
Up for sale is my 76 Hallett.  I have gone through everything on this boat and it runs like a bitch!  I get comments on it wherever I go, and have taken it to the water 6 times this season already. Comes with 2013 Nevada Tags and Lake Mead pass.  There is not a thing wrong with this boat, and I am selling to upgrade to a bigger Hallett.  This is a Gerard Hinderlich edition, which was when these boats were being built, Hallett sent some of them to him, and he put in the Harman 460 with the special interior arrangement.  I have never seen another one with this sort of setup.  I have a 1" binder full of every receipt I have for the boat, including a copy of the original title, sales receipt, and build sheet.  I am the third owner.  Boat has a stainless bimini top w/ blue fabric (not shown), custom fit cover, and tandem axle trailer.

Specs:

Boat:
Brand new interior, 2 months old
3 coats of wax 1 month ago
Brand new grey Hallett carpet (Just like in the late model boats)
New steering cable and helm
New shift cable
New wiring from gauges to the entire motor
Autometer carbon fiber marine gauges
New fuel lines & filters
Twin IMCO 10 gal. aluminum fuel tanks


Harman 460:
New heads with Ford racing valves, CC'd, built by John Force's mechanic
MSD R2R distributor
Blaster SS coil
Holley 750cfm double pumped, vac secondaries
New gauge senders
New starter
Rewarder water-cooled exhaust
All new water lines
New plugs

Berkeley 12JC pump:
Stainless A impeller
Fresh paint
Rebuilt a few years back before I got it (Have receipt)
No place diverter :/

Trailer:
New paint (Honestly, the single thing I cheaped out on, but hey, its a trailer!)
New lights all around
New bunks (Wood & Carpet)
Sand blasted and powdercoated rims/hubcaps
New tires <300 miles


I know I am probably forgetting a ton of information for this, so do not hesitate to ask.  Like I said, I would like to see this go to a good home, fast, because I am trying to upgrade boats!

Thanks

$7,500

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 rpm limited
« on: April 01, 2013, 03:43:30 PM »
So in my 19 Hallett bubble deck I seem to only be hitting 2900 rpm or so when on the water. When on the trailer it will rev above 3k (bumping throttle, don't hold this ever) on GPS the boat does 51. Carb was recently cleaned and everything as far as secondaries and throttle linkage. The dizzy is an MSD and has the fast advance springs timing totals around 33° if I remember. Fuel filters are new. Coworker said the fuel line could be bad and sucking shut. Anyone have any further ideas? What should the 460 run in stock form? Thanks!

Jet Pumps / Berkeley white paint
« on: January 03, 2013, 12:19:43 AM »
I have just gotten my boat buffed up and the entire interior redone.  This now makes my pump look horrible as the paint is flaking off a little bit.  I am going to sand it down and repaint it this week.  What kind of paint is the best to match the original color?  Also, what about the blue for the "BERKELEY" letters on the transom cover?

Thanks!

Random Boat Parts For Sale / Carburator, distributor, etc.
« on: July 17, 2012, 08:15:58 PM »
So I am looking to sell some extra parts I have around the house here to try and fund getting new steering and forward/reverse cables so I don't have to wait until payday!  haha! Steering went out right in front of the dam on sunday.  :banghead:  I will trade whatever I have if you have the cables!  Let me know and I will get to measuring them.  8)

I realize this is my first for sale post, so please, if there is any concerns call or text my cell phone at 702-371-4127 or PM me here, my name is Lucas.  I have sold things online before, I can show you my reputation from various different car-related forums. 

Edelbrock 1410 marine carb 750 cfm.  This will come with the original box, sales receipts, and receipts for accel pump and rebuild kit.  Was rebuilt last summer by one of the techs at Lake Mead Marina.  It runs great, I swapped it for a holley so I could use my ski hook (bolts on to intake manifold). 

These are going for a minimum of $350 online that I have seen, so how about we call it $230  (Exact price of new control cables from CPPerformance)
IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS I WILL HOOK IT BACK UP TO MY BOAT AND RUN IT NO PROBLEM!








Mallory Unilite Distributor with plug wires for 460
I will also hook this up to my boat to show flawless operation!
Not sure on price??  Throw me an offer



I also have a set of original 460 Hardin Marine valve covers that could use a good cleaning but are in great condition.  Also, make me an offer on these!


A K&N velocity stack intake with BRAND NEW K&N air filter that has zero hours, comes with receipt for filter, can see it in this picture of my boat (That is the old filter, not the new one) $50?




Also, I have a complete set of D3VE A2A valves, springs, seats, and keepers from my old heads.  $40?


A good friend of mine is also selling a bunch of things from his 460 build for his Spectra day cruiser that he never got to putting back together.  Everything is in amazing condition.  He has a fresh rebuilt 12JC-A pump, mirror polished exhaust logs, bottom end, the entire hull with new vinyl, etc.  Let me know, and I can put you in contact with him!

Thank you!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Building boat wiring harness
« on: July 17, 2012, 07:49:32 PM »
So I just got my new auto meter marine gauges for my boat, and while I am at it I am going to re-do the original 1976 wiring harness.  I have a couple questions though, first, how should I go about rewiring the original ammeter for the new volt meter?  If I am going to be redoing the harness, can't I just delete that wiring altogether?  Second, would the new gauges be compatible with all of my old senders? My old gauges are basically junk, and the only gauge that I hooked up was the fuel gauge, and my old one read 1/4 tank while the auto meter is barely above empty.  Is there a way to adjust them?  I am fairly certain that there is more gas than that in the tank.  I appreciate all the help I can get on this!  Thanks!!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 coil wiring
« on: May 30, 2012, 02:57:07 PM »
So I've been down for some time now, turns out both of my heads were cracked between the valves, so I got a new set, and a badass holley for the setup while I was at it.  Now I am about to go get me a starter here soon and try and fire it for this season!

My question is for the wiring on the distributor/coil.  It is an MSD billet marine unit with a blaster SS coil. The only wire that runs to the coil (besides the distributor + wire) is a wire that comes from the alternator excite and goes to the ignition and then to the coil.  i have read that there is supposed to also be a wire going from my start solenoid directly to the coil +.  Is this correct?

The person I bought it from had some cheap ignition box installed and this wire was not present, hence my asking. 

Thanks!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 starter/alt/ign wiring
« on: August 14, 2011, 01:44:21 PM »
Okay, first things first, I have been searching and found the Hardin wiring diagrams for the original setup.  I have a couple questions about my wiring as I found some melted wires and i'm just gonna redo the whole thing. 

MSD ignition (no ballast resistor required)
2-wire alternator
2-wire high torque starter
3 post starter solenoid (Looks like a ford oem truck starter)


Is it okay to run the single smaller gauge wire from the alternator straight up to the coil, and then to the terminal block on the back of the motor, or should it be ran to the terminal first?

My engine does not have a breaker installed, but the Hardin diagrams say that there is supposed to be one. Should I install one, and if so, what size?

How should I wire my electric choke?

I appreciate all input thank you!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Oil type
« on: August 12, 2011, 02:00:21 PM »
What kind of oil are you guys running in your 460s? I had no clue what was in my boat before, and i swapped it to some Mercury 25W-40, but I had to swap my heads and im going to have to change it again.  Im just wondering if anyone has a preference of what kind of oil to run.  My motor is mostly stock with a mild cam in it. Thanks

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / BBF bent pushrod
« on: July 28, 2011, 04:22:48 PM »
My 460 was runing like crap so I decided to run a quick compression test.  Across the board 1-8 it tested 115, 115, 125, 115, 115, 115, 0, 95. I pull the valve cover on the one side, and the intake pushrod for my #7 was missing.  I thought cool, the rod is probably in the intake valley and thats why I obviously have zero compression in that cylinder.  I installed a new pushrod and tried to crank it over again, and twice it just bent the pushrod.  What could be the cause of this? I have no clue how long the pushrod was missing either because I havent gotten too much run time on it yet.  Thank you!

WTB / wtb: 460 heads
« on: July 22, 2011, 10:53:13 PM »
I prefer something already rebuilt or like new, ready to be dropped on and ran.  Stock or certain aftermarket brands are cool, just let me know what you've got.  You can call or text me, or email me on here.  Thanks!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / 460 timing and idle
« on: July 12, 2011, 11:03:35 PM »
Okay so I am about to take my boat out tomorrow, and I need to get all of my timing adjusted properly, along with my idle.  Here is what I am going to go for, with a MSD billet dizzy and a 750 cfm edelbrock:


Initial timing 10-12*
33* total at 3000 rpm
Autolite 26's gapped to .045
idle @ 1200 rpm
fresh oil change with 25W-40 Mercury oil

Does that sound about right?  What should I start my idle mixture screws at when adjusting?  Should I adjust the carb or timing first?

Thanks!

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Installing MSD distributor
« on: March 31, 2011, 11:09:36 AM »
First, I would like to say whats up guys, my name is Lucas and im new here!  I just picked up a 76 Hallett bubbledeck with a 460/berk combo, and im sure ill be seeing a lot more of you guys!


My question is that I just got my new MSD ready to run distributor, and it says that it does not require an external ignition box.  However, the instruction manual shows how to install it with and without the box.  My boat already has an external ignition box (Procomp electronics), would it be better to wire it straight to my coil, or through the ignition box.

Also, there is instructions for setting a rev limit, but I have no clue as to what the engine is supposed to be running as far as rpms?  ???

All help is always appreciated! Thanks
