i seen the willys in parker and the on the 10 going towards phx looks bad ass!!! seen him pull out of the gas station in parker then pull over like something was broke?? kill ride though!

 Was the sticker a rainbow colored "SOCALOUTBOARDS"? I remember seeing something like that around here. Matt

Well the Rogers has been in the water 3 times since Sunday. We through a droop on it yesterday and it seemed to like it, changed the oil and tightened a few things up. She runs bitchen and carrys well,were looking for a diverter but that can wait. I have to say i wish my first boat was a Rogers. lol Its ok though when the twin turbo motor is finished in the Spectra all that Rogers will see is ROOST. Matt

We just went through this problem with the Lavey Craft. The Lighting headers hit the tall valve covers, so we put 1 inch spacers to kick them out and they still hit.  So a set EMI were installed but they hit the valve cover also. So....... we used the slanted outdrive covers and presto. We got the valve covers from Dana Marine and they clear the stud girdles and rollers. The Lighting headers also hit the stringers so that also is the reason they were not used. Matt

Nordie is correct on that, water injected headers have no water running through them at idle(at least there not supposed to) where as the water jacketed headers are a header in a header so they run water through them at all times. Matt

Thats a Bahner flatdeck i believe. I just finished one up, the motor was nothing special just your basic stock BBC. I put a tunnel ram with 2 600 vaccum secondary holleys and put an A/B impeller with droop and place diverter. The damn thing runs almost 80 and keeps gaining. I would of liked to keep pushing the pedal but its not mine . Awesome boat BTW, this was the first flatdeck Bahner ive ever driven and I have to say i was impressed. For having only 300-350 hp thats really fukin fast IMO. Matt

The water outlet is right on the back side of the bowl but on the suction piece. Theres 8 3/4" bolts that bolt the bowl the the suck housing and in between two of the bolts. There should be pipe threads inside that hole.If your looking at it from the nozzle side of the pump it will be on the left side. Matt

I dont know anything about media blasting but i do know that a good ol DA sander will do the trick just fine to get that old paint off. I would like to see pics of the pump, you said you think its a jacuzzi. Whatever pump it is it looks set back and Jacuzzi did make a set back pump in the 70s and i believe they were all YJs, at least all the ones i have seen. Cool looking float. Matt

Theres not relays but there is dioades (sp?). If your just running the up and down or neutral return switch that comes with Bennett pump then it wires directly to the switch. If you run the switch that goes on the steering wheel then you have to run dioades.




                         An up and down switch goes like this


                                   Yellow   ign    Blue

                                   Green    ign    Red


I have the diagram for the wheel switch but im to retarded to scan it and post it. If you give me a call i can fax it to you or explain it over the phone. Matt  928-230-4189
