Random Boat Parts For Sale / Energizer kit like new
« on: June 02, 2014, 01:32:48 PM »
I have a Jacuzzi YJ Energizer pump that's like new. It say's Dominator on the nozzle so I'm guessing that's who's kit it is.  Aluminum A impeller.   I got it off a boat being scrapped by the water department.  I'd bet it doesn't have 1 hour on it. I took it apart to look it over. I used the black nozzle adapter on my Ultra, but have a white one that's also like new.  It's a bit dirty from sitting but otherwise in great shape.  Asking $800.00 Located in Riverside.

You don't really need a crankshaft.  In fact that makes it harder in my opinion.  What you do is get a piece of pipe  about 4' long.  I use one with an I.D. that just slides over the pump shaft.  Use this as your crank.  You will need to make 2 spacers so you can mount it in your block like the crank.  You can make these out of plywood if need be.  Outer diameter is 2.75" which is approximately the main journal size, and then the inner diameter of would be what ever size pipe  your using.  Slide these pieces over the pipe, bolt into your mock up block and now you have your jig.  Slide the pipe out the back what ever length your drive shat is and slide it onto the pump shaft.  Now you can take all your measurements from there.   I added a picture off of Justin's thread to help with a visual.  This is basically what you're making using your block and a piece of pipe.  Hope this makes sense.

I've never had any issues at all with Dana. Maybe you guys need to spend more money :)
I've had all my orders arrive within a few days to a week.

Sent from my iPhone using SoCalJetBoats mobile app

Oh I've spent a fair amount of money there. And I know I can be a bit short with people on the phone when I feel I getting jerked around.  Maybe the couple of times I've talked  to Dana we were both having "one of those day's". And I still buy from him now and then.  Like others have said though, when I'm spending money with you, it's your job to extend the customer service, at least that's how I see it.  As I said previously, Dana's wife and Ralph have always been more than cool and made every attempt to be helpful. :thumbup:

F>$k now i feel bad if i cancel if hes not doing well. I guess ill ninja rig it for now... thanks for all the posts

Hell don't feel bad for Dana Marine, They may not move as much product as they used to, nobody does, but they still move a bunch of product.  They also manufacture a lot of their own stuff.  That being said, Dana is a DICK!  I've gone rounds with him a few times over misunderstandings and screw-ups on their end. Ralph is cool and Dana's wife is cool.  The other girl there is clueless, which has created some issues.  I believe they're under staffed and if the wrong person is handling your order it can take forever.  I still occasionally buy from there, but I will-call and go pick it up. 

Last couple purchases I've done have been from CP Performance.  Nothing but good to say, knowledgeable people, fair price and fast shipping.

WTB / Re: WTB: JACUZZI JET DRIVE YJ PUMP REVERSE BUCKET
« on: May 26, 2014, 05:52:38 PM »
Here's the pump, I dis-assembled to inspect.  It doesn't look like it was hardly used.  It came out of a big open bow, tri hull type boat that was owned by  the water department or some municipality.  Probably didn't get an hour or so worth of use.  Don't know why, but they scrapped the boat and parted it out.  I used the black nozzle adapter on my Ultra, But I have a white one complete with nozzle and bucket or a black nozzle, take your pick. I was going to put it in a day cruiser , but I've changed direction.  Let me know, Greg

GS Marine is close enough to you.

X2 on GS Marine.  They'll make your pump happy happy.  Pumps aren't that hard to do If your mechanical, but there are a few special tools required to do the job.

Lower River / Re: Newbie heading to Blythe memorial weekend
« on: May 22, 2014, 08:56:28 PM »
No, I'm passing on the crowds.  I may make it down next weekend and for sure fathers day.  I used to keep my trailer at Rivera many years ago.
 I would probably go down river and meet up with all the  people out of McIntyre at Goose flats or where ever they're hanging out.  It can get really busy around Rivera and a couple miles on either side of the bridge.  Up river is cool but about 4 miles up there's a fairly sketchy section when the water is low, probably try that another time after you've made a couple trips to the area.  Down river you should be good all the way the McIntyre.

Don't get me wrong, they're not like black-ops, covert, and hiding in every bush. But just be aware, like anywhere else, they're around.   Blythe is my favorite stretch of river, been going  there since 1979.  Like I've tried to teach my kids, if you've got nothing to hide you got nothing to worry about.  If you've got something to hide, then do a damn good job of hiding it .  Don't get caught just being stupid.  O0
 Have fun and enjoy the weekend.

What cops ?? Lmao see them in town never on the water!!!

Trust me, they're there.  They ride sea-do's.  They blend right in until they pull up on you.  Look out for single dudes on sea-do's wearing black ski vest, black shorts, baseball hat's and sunglasses.  Their badge is embroidered on their vest.  I've watched them cruise right up on un-suspecting  people several times.
And as far as the road goes, be careful in town and on 95.  I've been pulled over 2 times for BS reasons.  Once was for not signaling at the 4 way stop sign at Intake(Hwy 95) and Main st, even though I was the only one at the intersection.  The cop that pulled me over was in an unmarked white Tahoe parked in the Steaks & Cakes parking lot.  The other was for supposedly not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign.  I'm 53 and drive like an old man, please!  When they saw I wasn't drinking or a "person of interest", they just tell me to be more careful and let me go.  The locals call this "fishing" . They pull random people over that look like they are going to or coming from the river to see what they can find  ie: drinking and driving, drugs, what ever just  to get a look at what you got in your car. Just be aware because they are watching you!

One quick question I have it about the impeller style.

My A impeller is a stock Berkeley non-skirted style impeller. Will it simply bolt into Dominator bowl and just lose the slight stuffer effect that the skirt gives?

You'd need the right wear ring for the A impeller. Then just set the clearance.

Are you going to try and change the impeller before Havasu?  That would be the best move because worst case scenario is your RPM's are a little high at WOT.  Plus it would give a good baseline since you'll be close to sea level.

I agree with the others that you may have too much impeller.  I'd put the A in there and lean out the primary side of the carb a bit.  I wouldn't give up on the logs either.  They may be robbing some power, but as Ralph and GT told you they're not your problem.  There's been plenty of guy's that make them work with blowers and turbos.  If they take 20-30 hp away, you should still be in the 500 hp range. Just my thoughts.

So I took the new combo to the lake today for some test and tune. I'm hugely disappointed in the performance. Maybe a few of you experts here can look at the details and tell me where I went wrong with my recipe for big power and better than stock speed.

I spent a couple hours on the lake today doing carb tuning. I swapped jets about 6 times. I've been from 86 squared to 80 squared with no change in max rpm. none. zero. When I got down into the 70's, 76 exactly, It started to ping, So I went back up from there.


Engine: 521 Ford - Eagle rotation assy 4.3 Steel crank Mahle pistons 38cc dish final CR approx 9.75:1
Heads :D0VE C , mild port work.
Cam: In 345 Exh 359 at cam  duration Int 228 Exh 238 max lift at intake occurs at 109 degrees ATDC and at exhaust 119 degrees BTDC - Hydraulic roller
Comp gold roller rockers 1.7 ratio
Intake: Stealth
Carb: Holley 850 HP Ultra jetted at 84 square.  4.5 power valves front and rear.
Fuel system: Holley blue pump and regulator 6psi
Dist: Summit billet mechanical.  Timing is set to 36 degrees all in at 3400
Exhaust: Harman Marine Long bolt logs.

Drive: Berkeley 12JG
Bowl: Dominator HD
Impeller: Dominator skirted AA cut
Place diverter

Boat: 21' Eliminator Sport Cruiser. No interior. 20 gallons of fuel. 2 people.

Performance:  4500 RPM  and 58 mph  @ 4100 feet altitude here.

According to the Berkely chart I'm making a whopping 325 HP. Sweet.  I could have done that with a stock 460 and saved THOUSANDS.

Help? Advice? Suggestions?

Regards,   -Todd-
Somethings wrong with these numbers.  If you only have approx .350 lift in a 500ci motor it can't make any power.  These numbers can't be right.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Thoughts on Wet vs Dry headers
« on: May 20, 2014, 08:41:05 AM »
I had my headers ceramic coated black with the intention of running dry.  Let me tell you, dry is fine if you're racing, but it gets ridiculously hot if your out cruising for any distance (more than 1-2 miles).  It's hot enough to have started cracking the gel coat on my stringers and the inside of my hull.  I installed a valve up by my drivers seat like this one.  Water comes straight from the pump to the valve, then to the Bassett T, then the headers.  I normally just run it on low, but just that much water makes a big difference in the boat.  It's just a mist out the pipes.  Like was previously posted I shut the valve off when I come down to idle, but even if I leave it open, there's not enough water going through them to get into the motor and hurt anything.
