No need to turn the impeller down to install a stuffer.

Jet Pumps / Re: PD ride plate on Carrera Eclipse
« on: March 24, 2016, 08:55:01 AM »Bolt on shoe/plate combo from either ARS marine or HTP... I installed the bolt on combo to my hull a couple years ago. Shoe ends up being right at keel. This combo helped all around an is easy to install without removing the intake. Duane from HTP will walk you through details on cradle (tall or short) ect...
Since when did someone other than Place Diverter offer a ture "bolt on" shoe or ride plate? All the shoe/rideplate combos I have ever seen need to have the intake machined to accept a shoe and rideplate. the PD ride plate actually bolts on the the bottom of their droop and really isn't adjustable. It just offers a flat surface for the boat to rock back on instead of trying to ride on the round bottom of the droop.

I didn't pay too much attention to where that Berkeley stuffer bolt holes went through. Looking at it now, yes using that one will drill into the oil passage and possibly create a leak. If you were to install a stuffer, i'd go with the plate style.

In your case, like I said before, I'd be surprised if you noticed a "seat of the pants" difference in performance by adding a stuffer. as far as drilling in the oil passages, that's in correct. If someone did that then they drilled incorrectly.
Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Not knowing your exact combo, it's hard to give a definite yes or no. But I will tell you that every little bit helps. A stuffer is just another piece to the performance puzzle. Seat of the pants difference in a lake boat? Prob not. Time slip difference in a drag boat, good chance yes.

Jet Pumps / Re: Transom adapter no gasket?
« on: March 17, 2016, 08:26:05 AM »
One other tip for all of you, coming from a guy who takes these off for a living. Someone said use a generous amount....let's rephrase that and say use a "conservative generous amount". It really doesn't take that much silicone to seal a transom cover. A light bead on the transom between the opening in the hull and the bolt holes, and a light bead between the bolt holes on the transom cover is all you need. Your pump guy will thank you the next time it has to be removed and he doesn't have to spend 45 min scraping excess silicone off your hull and TA adaptor.

First I'd see how a new bushing would fit in there. If you can drop it in with your fingers, then you have to make a decision. If you search hard enough, you can find used JG bowls for about what you will have in machining your bowl and buying the shaft saver kit.

Jet Pumps / Re: Berkeley 12jg bowl seal
« on: March 16, 2016, 09:16:28 AM »
Keep in mind that the bowl seal isn't designed to keep the oil in the bowl. It's designed to keep the water out. Therefore the seal needs to be installed the correct way with the lip facing the impeller.

Jet Pumps / Re: Impeller movement
« on: March 16, 2016, 09:13:32 AM »Yes, they are pretty bad. I was able to remove one bearing with my finger. With the sleeve that I saw on line, would that eliminate the use of oil in the bowl?. I know I'll have to have it machined to fit, but just wondering if im going the right way about this for long term repair. Thanks for the advice.
Yes, going to a sleeved bearing assembly AKA shaft saver, will not allow the bowl to be an oil bath bowl bearing setup. It would then be like the old dominators where its water lubed. You will obviously no longer use the bowl seal or the bowl end cap to make all that happen.

Puddingstone is full and dirty as ever! Went there a few weeks ago to water test. Seems like every year it gets dirtier.

The lower you can keep the RPM on a 455 the better to be honest. I think I would stick with an AA. 455's are known for their oiling problem and don't really like to run at high rpm for long periods. There are some things that you can do to help fix the oiling problems, but they aren't cheap.

For sure stripped by someone who knew what they were doing. Almost looks like they intended to strip, paint and re sell but something went wrong and dumped the boat. Should be finger prints all over that thing if the criminals haven't been found yet.
I know it still sucks, but just be glad they didn't strip the boat with a sawzall and destroy the boat.
Keep us posted on ALL the details.

I know that it has the Cole coast guard badge on it and I'm sure the title says Cole, but that isn't a Cole.
