Just make sure you use a NEW locking bolt/nut on the reverse bucket when you reassemble, and I would loc-tite the thing anyway!

There's some witnesses as to why on here with a JE pump............

Ray

As far as where to mount the pump, no help here. My Beisemeyer had it mounted to the transom, but seen them stringer mounted, gunnel mounted, and once engine mounted. But Glenn is probably right.

You know which it is already and you didn't tell me? Shame on you!

Ray

How much, delivered to 2Sav's house. 

Same price I paid for it. Free. Will take donations for what I got in the Jacuzzi, however, but the seats were aquired through another charitable deal so they be free as well. Need covering and padding, but I think I know a guy that can get that done pretty reasonable..........he's "stiff", but workable...........

Ray

Holy Crap Glenn!

That's a whole lot worse than mine was, lol.

Good work    That door "header" and some floor joists looked a lil scarey!!!!

I kinda like my Austin Powers lookin vanity and carpet!    (Too bad it's going away tho......)

Ray

I want a set, but they wouldnt fit under my engine cover (box)

i want to someday convert the engine cover so it goes the width of the boat. the jump seats on either side of the engine cover are useless unless you have a 12" wide ass.

I kinda liked 'em on the Beisemeyer, but then, that's where the kids usually unded up, not full grown people.  Regardless of that, the headers have to be of the fully water jacketed variety under cover like that according to "code" no? ( I KNOW we are ALL following regulations right? )

Congratulations on getting the Southwind going again Brad! 

Ray

And notice Skip didn't even put his cigarette out for that. 

Ray

Lots more Sleeks showing up these days! Good Score!  

Looks like a Sleek Sportster. (should start with SLES on the HID, if I'm right). Hydraulic Diverter a real nice plus! Didn't know about that!! Yeah, the fenders are weird? Looks like someone put some different springs on trailer maybe?   The whole thing sits a lil high to my eye.

Did you get the motor plates with it? 4 point mount, you should be able to drop in whatever you want! Congratulations!  

Ray

The plate under the throttle, soft spot in the floor or just stripped holes? Not a major thing, just noticed it.

Edit, lol, Guess GT noticed that too.

Says the guy running a tunnell ram and dual carbs on a pretty stock motor!

Ummmm Yeah, stock it is Marc, so sayeth you, so must be true!  Whatever 

Good Points GT! Didn't think about his costs and troubles with what he has. Bought mine somewhat new, knew what I had and worked with that. Works fine. When he wants rid of it, lemme know, lol.

Ok, Concludes Chapter one...........

Ray

Crewcheif's right, 750 Vac Sec'y carb. I disagree not good for a jetboat, but that's where he and I differ.

First, use it, remove the choke butterflies, shaft and anything to do with the choke (Crewcheif can tell you how, he and 2sav taught me on the same damn carbs).

The secondaries on a vac sec'y carb will NOT open unless the engine requires it through vacuum.  Examine your linkages carefully, pretty easy to see how they work. Sounds like the vacuum diaphragm may be shot to me. Bad news is they are single pumper, so used singley, do affect throttle response somewhat. Crewcheif, GT and most others do not like this. I run two, and do not think this is a measureable issue. When I did run one of them, though, boat ran fine and idled better than any jet boat I've seen yet with a pretty wild cam. Didn't notice any throttle respose issues.

I would agree that a DP is what you should look for, but don't think you're out of line with what ya got. Can work and work well. I guess this is my novel writing coming out to make a short point. 

Ray

You made the exclamation point for me John!

Arizona is not that far off from what Cali is doing, beleive me. What my wife used to do, and she created and helped secure funding for, is no more. What we have allowed our government to do is get fat and happy, and when things get tough, they get tough for US, not THEM. Question is, what are we going to do about it?

Sound to me like every elected government official does NOT think, what is best for my consituency, but what bullshit can I get these idiots to beleive so I can still ride the gravey train.......... For lack of a better term. The suicide pilot? IMHO, a little off, and in a different direction than our elected officials, but no smarter or dumber.

Ray

I feel for ya John! I read the paper every day, and I think if Cin were still alive, she'd be resorting to the "N" word she soooo despised because of what has happened in every state in America.

We think it's bad nearly every rest area is closed because these idiots in office will NOT take a pay cut or lose any of their bennies or assistants? While laying off the real workers, FOCK THEM! Now Schools are closing, no special programs for special needs kids, before and after school programs are all but done with........all because some already rich, elected fat cats can fly around the country telling us how they are fighting for us and how rosey it'll all be eventually...Where's THEIR lifestyle changes? ........... Where's my sniper rifle.................

When are we, as a group, gonna WAKE UP and smell what these greedy bastards have done and continue doing? Think John McCain, Obama or AAhnold are "feeling the pinch" in their day to day lives?.........Bahahahahahahaha........FOCK NO!

Rant over
