Next issue, fuel filter.  Instructions call for 100 micron filter.  All I have is the cheapo Fram inline filter.  Going to have to do until I can scrounge up the cash for a better filter.

Okay, I found what I was looking for after I got off my butt and went down to the local parts store. Picked up a relay, fuse holder, wire, and a push pull switch.

I read the Aeromotive instructions and they recommend a 15 amp normally open relay.  Anyone know where to find one or a part number I can get at a local parts place???

Projects / Fuel pump redo project
« on: June 26, 2014, 02:59:01 PM »
Last spring I replaced my fuel pump with a Carter and it died this year just after the warranty expired lol. I haven't even gotten the boat wet yet this year!!!  :banghead:
So I decided to break down and buy a better pump.  I ended up with a Aeromotive SS pump and TFS regulator.  140gph, 14psi.  Feel embarrassed putting that beautiful thing in my gnarly, ratty looking engine bay lol. It's going to be the best part looking part in there!  Anyway, I went with the Aeromotive since it will supply more than enough fuel for this stock motor and my next stroker project (after paint, interior, rewire, etc lol).  The rubber hose was only 2 years old, but already getting dried out so I decided to replace it too.  I decided since I was staying with rubber hose this time, to buy the Mr. Gasket high flow 90 degree fittings (dang those things are expensive!!!).  I plan to upgrade to push lock style hose this coming winter.  I also need to re-wire this boat (got a rat's nest for wiring).

Questions about wiring.  I haven't figured out 100% how I'm going to wire the pump in,  I was thinking of positive direct to Battery and negative to switch on dash and then back to block. But Tom at JBP said I should run a relay.  I'd like to run a relay, but not sure what relay to get and too cheap/broke to buy a kit. Maybe someone will know what parts to get so I can do it myself.  If anyone knows, please let me know what to do/get! 

I now have to get my lazy butt up early tomorrow and get to it (too hot to work on it now lol).
Thanks,
Sam

Any updates?  I keep watching this post because I have dreams of being able to get a new Cheyenne or TPR and build it from the ground up like this! Can't wait to see how this thing comes out.

Call one of the Ford cam specialists like Scotty at ReInCarnation and have them custom grind a cam for your setup.

The CP is a great hull. Capable of triple digit speed with less hp than a lot of v hulls.

I was having lifter issues with my old truck so I decided it was time to upgrade. Got a smoking deal on a new Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie ($11k off sticker).

I bought the Amazon one for a 22-23ft boat and fits my boat great over scoop and also covers pump with snoot and place diverter.  It even came with a storage bag. I was impressed for about $70.

Bought cheapo cover on Amazon (about $70) and got two Yuma summers out of it before I accidentally tore it trying to get water off the cover (had a couple of gallons built up and used a broom handle under the edge to try and lift the center). Double check your cable routing for too tight bends in routing, it can cause cable to bind and drag.

creates drag, doesn't help steering at all.  Also, there are plenty of used ones for sale, so look before you buy new. That way if you end up trying it and not liking it, you're not out new price.

I dig the cooler set up!!!  Slow speed turning is an issue with jet boats.  Learn to use blips of the throttle to get better response.  If you have a place diverter (trims nozzle up and down), you can adjust it to help too.  All the boats I've had used teleflex rack and pinion and had no issues.  I've heard pros and cons about rudder (mostly cons).  JMHO.

If he gets California time,  I'm sure a few of us scjb members that works for the state doc can make sure it's not easy time.

That thing is badazz!!! It's my dream to build one that color and have painted like the Toruk from the movie Avatar.  Andy Ralls does amazing work.  Everytime I look at his Cheyenne, I see some detail I missed before!!!
