Well, I'm conflicted out of Saturday but after Louis called me last night and mentioned that he would buy me a steak dinner and all the Captain Morgans I can drink with his winnings he's going to earn this weekend I immediately started re-adjusting my schedule. Gonna try to see you cats run on Sunday.

Could we get some pics of the back of the boat, the pump, ride plate and the hull itself? Sangers seem to have used a couple different style bottoms on thier Superjet

Gould, you have a very large contingent of jet boats all around you and I'm sure they would be more than happy to help as well. We also have a number of runs that take place at Banks Lake, Blue Lake, Moses Lake and Potholes. Plus some playing on the Columbia north of the I90 bridge...........john

These cats up here love a shot of NOS on top of their blowers. There's a onboard video I have around here somewhere that shows what takes place when you hit the button. VERY cool stuff.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Hopefully Quick Wiring Question
« on: May 24, 2010, 07:55:31 AM »
Hey guys, got a quick question for you and I don’t know if I have a problem or I'm making a big deal over nuthin.
I charged the battery up after sitting all winter and for grins, I hooked my 12 volt test light between the positive post and the feed line to the boat (starter and alternator is on a separate line) just to make sure I didn’t have any problems that surfaced over the winter.
I did ha e a slight momentary glow from the bulb and then it would dim out. I figured this was likely just the memory from the radio but for grins, I hooked up my digital voltmeter so I could actually measure it.
I got approx. 12.53 volts and it stayed reasonably stable. I started pulling fuses to determine what would be drawing and found that if I pulled each of the fuses for the bilge pump, radio and the electric fuel pressure gauge it would drop to 0 volts.
While I understand why the radio would have a draw due to the channel memory, why would the bilge pump and fuel pressure gauge have a draw.
Also, given that when I put a load (the 12v test light), the voltage is only momentary as the bulb only stays lit (dim) for about 1 second before it goes out leading me to believe that the bulb is pulling that voltage down.
Also, when I hook up the cables to the battery post, I am not getting a arc which I would expect I would get if there truly was a 12+ volt draw
Am I making a big deal about this or have I got a problem that needs to be chased out.
Thanks everyone……….john
