Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Tech Questions for efi and fuel system issues
« on: February 06, 2010, 01:45:47 AM »
I would think that in order for gravity to balance the tanks, the cross over hose would have to connect at the bottom of the tanks. Although I like the idea of filling both tanks from one side, wouldn't that create a safety problem--filling the bilge with fuel (emptying both tanks) if there was a break in the line? I thought that is the reason that newer tanks feed from the top. I could see some safety inspection and/or insurance issues with this setup.

We also found that the aeromotive high pressure fuel pump we used was much better at pushing than it was at sucking. Had to blow into the fills to help prime the pump a couple of times.

Could you just run one fuel bypass with a selector switch into which tank it goes into?

This is what we did. I would have liked to get one of those $600+ electric selector valves with both fuel feed and return, but ended up with two identical manual valves--one for the feed lines and one for the return. That way I just switched both at the same time to draw from and to return to the same tank. Never had a problem.

Unless it is a real "steal", I'd probably pass on the boat. Even if you think you'd be happy with 60 MPH, and I've heard a number of new jetters say the same thing, sooner or later you'll want to go faster (trust me), and with that Golden Eagle you'll have no options. There are so many good deals out there right now, if I were you, I'd watch for something with a more desirable pump--berkeley, dominator, even a jucuzzi WJ. Better for performance and better for resale value.

I hear you about the prop and stuff hanging under the v-drive boats. I'm thinking about selling my v-drive cruiser and getting back to a jet, mainly for just that reason. And, yes, Shaver is a great lake--especially during the week. We have a little cabin up there and spend alot of time up out of the valley heat. Give me a call when you're going up--maybe we could get together.

Hey SuperDuty--looks like we're nearly neighbors. Where do you usually boat, Bass Lake? Millerton?

Golden Eagle is the same as the Jacuzzi YJ so it depends on the size of the hull. If it is an 18' "jet boat" hull, you'll never be happy with the performance because the pump just won't push it more than about 55-60 MPH no matter how much HP you have. If the hull is a big cruiser and you're happy with 50-55 MPH it would probably be OK, if it's a real good deal, although most on here would say to stay away from that pump.

In 1974 I took my new bride to see "The Sting" in San Luis Obispo. On the walk home, I tried to explain it to her, but I don't think she ever "got it". Maybe not my favorite movie, but one of my favorite memories.

Its a great lake, very beautiful. However I don't recoment going on a busy weekend with a jet boat. I made three passes last fourth of July. It was like a damn ocean.

Yep, the 4th is the busiest weekend of the year--everyone with a boat, it seems, comes up for the fireworks show. They launch the fireworks from a little island out over the lake. Hundreds of pontoons and lots of boats watch from on the lake and thousands of people crowd the shorelines--it took me 2 hours to drive 5 miles back to our cabin after the show because of all the people.

A view of the marina at Camp Edison in the past week--will probably look different in August. You can even see some hard core fisherman taking out their boat at the snow covered ramp.
Here's another, taken a couple of days ago--probably 2X more snow than last several years--looking forward to full lakes.


Ah yes, Shaver lake. I think it is one of the best lakes anywhere--especially in August. Clean fresh air with temps in the 80s during August and water temp that is refreshing, but not too cold. Usually down to the 50s* at night--sweater/sweat shirt weather, but not too cold. Although there can be more boats on the weekends, during the week the boating consists mostly of aluminum fishing boats. Edison is a good place to camp with decent facliities including hot showers. The little village there has some excellent restaurants, quaint shopping, and Shaver Lake is the gateway to alot of other high sierra locations/day trips/fishing spots.

If anyone else wants to come up--it's about one hour NE of Fresno, let me know.

Hey Glass
If you need anything when you get to Fresno, give me a call--I'm sitting here in Fresno with nothing to do. I mean plenty to do, but totally unmotivated today.

Happy New Year from the central valley. Prayin' for rain and snow to fill up all the lakes for this boating season. Good news--snow pack is between 85% and 100% of normal so far.

The only catch i can think of is that it would not work as well if you had 2 tanks. You would have to do some testing to get the right amount of fuel back to both tanks and it would require some extra plumbing to make it all work well. But a return fuel system is far better than a deadhead setup.

I just ran the return line back to a valve, that matched the supply valve, and made sure that when I was running the valves were supplying and returning from/to the same side tank. This set up also made it possible to transfer (pump) gas from one side tank to the other--I could fill up both tanks at the gas station through just one fuel fill.

The No Wake Zone / Road Trip
« on: December 16, 2009, 12:24:29 AM »
Well, I left home (Fresno) this morning and traveled to Valley Springs (near New Hogan Reservoir) to pick up a new/used interior for my Sanger cruiser from SangerFan76 on the PB forum--wow, you should see the stable of Sangers he has and workshop at his place, and then drove to Oakdale to pick up a jet pump for #2 son (ap67 on PB forum) from BAE (on the PB and Banderlog forums) that pushed William's boat to 150+ mph, and back home for dinner. Fun trip, but the interesting part happened when I was going through Merced. My truck swerved off the 99 and raced this white chevy to the McDonalds drive through lane which already had 4 or 5 cars waiting. Humbled by the loss, I hung my head in shame, but when I finally looked up, what do I see in the chevy's back window--a socal boat decal.  So, I climbed out of my truck and met Nathan72 for the first time. What do you think are the odds of such a chance meeting? Well the line started moving so I got back into my truck, and when I got to the first window, the lady said, "Do you know that guy? He already paid for your breakfast." Heck, if I'd known it was free, I would have ordered lunch too. Seriously, it was good meeting you, Nathan, and thanks for the breakfast.

No, it's a hybred--a jet to get you going and a v-drive for fuel economy.

We ran an aeromotive high pressure pump with the efi motor. Pretty pricey, but never had a problem, except they like to be mounted low--good pushers, but not very good suckers.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: that much gas??????
« on: September 14, 2009, 12:17:47 AM »
A few years ago my family spent a week at Shasta, and my kids managed to burn at least 40 gallons per day. They thought it was great--just give the guy my credit card, and he'd give them another 40 gallon fill up. Years ago (mid 70s), I had a jet that would run into the mid 80s mph (pretty good for a basically stock BBC with logs) and I loved to take it to the lake on Sunday afternoon and race anyone that floated. I could run through 25 gallons in less than 2 hrs. However, seems to me that the 99 octane pump gas was less than $1.00 per gallon. Hah, the good old days.

Do you remember what Sanger hull it was? I am working on a 1968 17'-10" flat. I'll check on the measurements this weekend.

Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Re: Cracks
« on: September 08, 2009, 12:07:57 AM »
Beerjet, I have a question--it is hard to get oriented to your pictures, but is there some kind of support under the main crack line in your deck? I have a similar situation in the old Sanger flat that I am working on but the two crack "lines" are directly above the 2 bulkhead/supports that run across the deck. My understanding is that to solve the problem, I need to cut down the bulkheads so they don't actually touch the bottom of the deck before fixing the cracked gel coat, or it will just crack again. So I was wondering if there is some kind of similar situation under your deck.
