I'd be curious how long the good Doctor has been a resident vs how long its been a Marine Stadium This is the same mentality as folks in our are who bought property and built  near the Gun range and then bitch about the gun shots Tom


I would guess he's been there less than a year by his surprise that such an event could take place there. Anyone that had been there longer would certainly have figured out the one race per year deal. No sympathy at all for those like him.

Looking for a complete pump setup but I don't recall which ones were the "good" ones. Thanks!

WJ is the "good" one.

I'm wondering if this hull is one of the many short hulls that have the deep entry bow. Combine the exaggerated "bow steer" issue at higher speed with the JE's lack of fins on the intake and possible lack of a rudder and you can get some very negative behavior.

Let's see pics of the boat, preferably side shot showing the entire bow.

I'm not familiar with either of those. My suggestions were based on very positive feedback from those who have used them. Both Joe Shelfo and Jeff Glow(aka Washed Ashore)post on PerformanceBoats.com which also has a very active V-drive forum. There are a lot of v-drivers in the Bay Area that post there, as well.

Unless you have lots of experience in glass work
definitely look into having a shop do the stringer and glass work, preferrably one that is well versed in v-drives. Done wrong, it could result in distortion of the bottom, resulting in major handling isuues.

Check with Joe Shelfo at Precision Craft Marine in Fairfield/Cordelia
9320 W Cordelia Rd # B
Fairfield, CA  94534-1682Phone: (707) 864-0332 

I'd also check with Jeff Glow at Smooth as Glass over in Riverbank.

Shelfo is a high performance shop and Smooth as Glass is top rated glass/gel/paint shop.

Projects / Re: What is the Set Back Pump?
« on: June 30, 2009, 07:54:06 PM »
I didn't read your other thread, but from the pic below from that thread, you DO NOT have "set back" pump. That term is used for "convential" style pumps that have had their intakes set further back in the hull than was normal. What you have is an "insert" style pump, specifically a Berkeley JE. These pumps are fitted into an "intake" that is actually a molded portion of the hull. It cannot be moved forward or back. Some call it "set back" due to the handhole cover being behind the hull, but that is really an incorrect term for these pumps. The insert style are more limited in performance applications and will reach that limit long before a conventional style pump.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: starter problems
« on: June 17, 2009, 08:46:43 PM »
Can't get a very accurate reading of cranking amps of the starter cranking your engine when they are testing it on a bench.:)  Think all they do is see if it spins. Put it in the boat and have a real shop test the cranking amps and battery condition.

It would pay to do a voltage drop test of the battery cables WHILE CRANKING, to see what condition they are in. Too much drop = slow cranking.

A common term for a Ford starter relay used in conjunction with a GM starter is "slave relay" or even just "starter relay". 30 years in the auto repair business and have NEVER heard the term "aux relay". Is that just some local name?

Thats cool if the 6 al box will fix my tach problem I was already looking to get the box.

There's more than one version of the Pro-Billet distributor that has a module inside. Which one are you running? (part #?). One appears to have a dedicated tach lead. The other is the HEI version. If HEI, you will likely need the adapter since HEI has an odd tach output signal.

Daytona(tunnell) open bow??? Fwiw small block in a 21 is going to be a challenge. Don't trust a stamp, or the tag, the impeller could have been cut/worked on.

Kreg, he is referring to the company "Daytona", not Eliminator Daytona.

Yep, a small block in a big heavy daycruiser will definitely be at a disadvantage.

The JE on the Moo is definately inset, ans et back, and as Oldsquirt said, prolly epoxied to the hull (Which was layed up specifically for this pump.)


That being said, it is not un different from a set back custom install as Tom does on a regular basis.

From looking at it, it looks like the pump housing and intake are one piece, or it uses no intake piece at all (Which it appears more likely, as it seems mounted VERY low compared to my JC pumps). But the bowl looks the same as a JC bowl, save for all the cables coming out of the bottom of the transom and not the top.

I suppose it's possible to mount it more forward in a traditional location and use a normal Berk Transom adapter, might even be able to be bolted to a traditional intake housing as well, I dunno. I'll post more detailed pics of it when I get into the Place install this week or next.

Ray

The "intake" of a JE/JF is the hull itself. As you can see, it is molded in a unique shape to fit the "suction housing" of the pump. No options on moving forward or back due to the need to fit the molded shape of hull. It definitely cannot be used with a conventional intake and T/A.

JE bowl is same as JC and can be swapped to a JG. JF bowl is slightly different and needs some modification to work on a JC/JE/JG. Pump shaft, bearings, seal are the same in all 4 designs.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble to put the less desireable pump into that boat, then. I would very much like to see pics of the underside of the hull.

Jet Pumps / Re: what model pump is this?
« on: May 30, 2009, 04:10:02 PM »
Yes, that is a JC. It is also an older style of Place diverter(note exposed reverse duct). Somewhat less desireable than the newer flat-bottomed Place units. Price it accordingly.

Jet Pumps / Re: berk je/a questions
« on: May 30, 2009, 04:06:46 PM »
If it truly is a JE(and I still can't believe it is) first step is to remove the engine. JE pumps, being "insert" pumps, are bolted and epoxied into the hull. They are serviced in the hull, and the shaft comes out the front. After the engine is out of the way it's about a 2 for a mechanic, maybe a 5 for a typical backyarder. I believe you can find some of the instructions on Berkeley's website if you dont have the SELOC jet boat manual(available at Rex Marine, CP Performance, etc....)

If it is a JC or JG, you remove the pump from boat to service.

If the impeller is already off, there are only 2 packing gland nuts and 4 thrust bearing retainer bolts to remove before pulling shaft out. Removal of bearing from shaft will require a press or gear puller. Installation requires a press.

Impellers are the same for Berk JA/B/C/E/F/G pumps. Have you seen the pump? Does it have a separate intake mounted to bottom of hull with suction housing bolted to it?

If no history of pump is known, it would definitely be a good idea to change the thrust bearing, seals and shaft packing.

Jet Pumps / Re: berk je/a questions
« on: May 30, 2009, 02:41:57 PM »
If the boat was converted from I/O to pump, it is quite unlikely that he has a JE pump. That is an "insert-style" and retrofitting it into a hull not molded for it would require major fiberglass work. Get pics to identify the pump.

The hardest part of removing the impeller is usually getting the nut loose. It pays to have the correct socket for the nut and for the splines at the front of shaft. If it is an original nut that has never been off, you will likely need to cut it off.

Even if the impeller is stamped "A", it may be smaller if someone trimmed it and didn't bother to mark it with the new size. A mild small block would probably want a "B" or smaller. Better to start large and trim down after seeing how it performs.
