Just switched from points to HEI and went to start engine and test out everything at home before hitting the lake for more testing and found out I had no spark. Rechecked all my wiring and I had my 12 volts to power plug on cap. So I ohmed out everything wires and coil to cap all good. Tried a used known good modual same. Removed dist and checked the "hall effect sensor" by rotating dist gear, checked out ok.  After calling Mallory every name in the book I noticed the new coil was painted black then it dawns on me the coil isnt grounding because of the black paint and on a stock coil it has no paint plus the internal ground wire on a stock GM has a star washer built into it and the Mallory doesnt. So I sanded off the paint on the 2 contact points for the ground wire and the ground bar and rechecked for spark wholla spark. I also ditched the stupid coil top that came with the dist and went with the stock GM coil cover, makes it way easier to work on for future use. Was so pissed yesterday I could of thrown a 100 yard pass with the dist. But overall went to bed happy. In the future what Im going to do is wire in a relay for the HEI to get direct battery voltage to it just make sure I have as much voltage to it as possible and get a star washer for the ground inside the cap. I'm doing the relay because I understand lower voltage kills these things along with poor grounds.
Just figured I'd share this for others if they ever have this problem.

She tells me cant I leave well enough alone? I said after sipping a beer no.  She dont like the new setup that pushes the scoop into the air. I told keep her to keep her hat on tight.

Can a Crankcase Evacuation System be used if you still use water injection with Bassetts?
Typical set I was thinking about  http://www.jegs.com/i/Moroso/710/25900/10002/-1

I made some simple changes to boat this off season, used Demon 750 carb,Victor intake, and I'm going with an HEI instead of dual points. How do you guys test out the boats without fear it stalls in the middle of lake/river and you just float away?  Or is there a spot with no current? Im still newish to boats but not these engines.
And oddly enough its harder to meet people up here in Kingman AZ than I expected-cuz there isn't anybody into these boats up here except for one guy. 

If anyone else from here is going say hi or Ill see ya there.

Overall weekend was good but learned a few things. The plant life growing at Pirates Cove launch ramp is crazy!! With that being said this was my first time out and thankfully I was with someone who knew better. Launched the floater and beached it to make sure all was good water temp, oil pressure, and no leaks. Took boat out and couldn't believe all the crap growing and floating around I went out around 10:30/11:00. Idled to the river, and was surprised how bad jet boats steer when idling ok no biggy. I get to the river and rev the engine a little to get water into the exhaust, yes its over the transom Bassett's and then jumped on it-the boat's rpms flew to 5000k but we hardly moved, told to shut it down right away. Now keep in mind the engine water temp stayed around 125-130*F the whole time. I was told we sucked up shit into the grate and I had to jump in and clear it out. Ok done. Restart it up and go again boat did better but no water outa exhaust. We headed back to trailer and reloaded boat and removed inspection cover-loaded with more plant life. So after cleaning I looked around and saw about 4 waverunners beached and flipped on their sides removing the same shit. So I learned these boats are strong but not stronger than a simple weed, and running chrome headers with restricted water flow will blue them real quick-shit!! Needless to say after all said and done took it out again only to find oil coming out of the dipstick under WOT. Removed breathers to check for blowby pressure under throttle nothing, only to discover the oring is missing from cheap chrome dipstick.  BTW what are you guys running for oil pressure at idle 1100 rpms? Im showing roughly 80 to me thats high I would think 60 would be more than enough I'm running 15w40 oil now and might go to a 10w30 to bring the pressure down some.

With my background in drag cars and none in jetboats what does everyone bring to the lake for "just in case supplies?" Basic tool kit, set of plugs, carb kit, BFH, high temp silicone, screwdrivers, extra battery, allen keys, tow rope, and the tried and true duct tape? I'd love to hear what you guys bring.
Also while on the subject what checks do you do before leaving home and right before dropping the boat? I know last year at telephone cove I seen some guys coming back to shore under full throttle with the nose of the boat straight up in the air and then slam into the beach only to find out they forgot to reinstall the drain plug.  Maybe even get a few extra drain plugs?
