I do not have a Rex one $$. I got a strainer from McMaster and it seems to work pretty good. I will get a nice stainless one someday.

Well .............. yes considering what it does , jetaholic was gonna get one and declined because of price . I dont know if price dictates quality in this case though . Could be bad ass for the duckets . Try it out and tell uis how it works , you might change a tide , for all I know ,. gotta pic .

yea very pricy for me to but i have 15,000+ into the new motor. If 400$ :o will save me a new motor the its deffanetly worth it. thats the way i see it. crazy when you add it all up. :banghead:

I'll bet there is a cheaper solution, as pictured above, that will work just as well.

A friend of mine is rebuilding a BBC blower engine and is adding a sea strainer so sand doesn't get into the intercooler. He hasn't tried it out yet.

yea i heard about blower motors needing them for the intercooler also. I personaly never noticed them on na jet boats. I see them on all the big dog offshore boats.Im gonna grab my ankels run the rex one. gotta have the bling. Ill mount it where every one can see it. It looks like it will out live me at least.lol
-
man you got a good looking boat.
-
tjs. Is that -10 going to the motor -8 to the dump and exhuast

Thanks aquaholic so is yours.

I got the strainer at McMaster. It was cheap, like 25 bucks I think. The line going to the engine is a -12 cause I have the large crossover in the front that takes a 1" NPT. The line from the pressure relief valve is -8 and the feed line (before the valve) to the banderlong is -8 as well.
Last year for the 3 times I had my boat in the water the strainer has worked good.

Your set up is very nice. Its looks like you took your time and did it rite. Aslo you boat is bad a$$. Im gonna go with a hardin marine one Its just like the rex one but has a built in oil cooler and port for the high pressure valve.. I really dont want to do it twice like everything else Ive done on this money pit,lol. Im doing - 10 on everything for the water and not using any kind of water exhuast at all. It will be a bad a$$ set up when its done and ill post pictures when its finished. Then you can call me the one upper,lol just kidding.

pictures!!!! ;D
It's at JP Marine in Lakeside, CA.. My friend is disabled and has JP do all of his work for him. CP Gull wing, light lay-up (I think 375 lbs), bottom and top flop around just by tapping them with your hand, getting new paint and interior (now). Former river racer drag boat, Berkeley 12JG, Agressor 9 vane, Berkeley droop, race nozzle, ride plate. BBC 468 de-tuned on the dyno many many years ago from 1400 HP down to 1100 HP, getting freshened up now, and adding a intercooler. >:D Unfortunately I get scared in the passenger seat pretty easy and doubt I'll ever ride in it. :D

I saw those plastic strainers on dana marine, I was going to run one but they said that they were for light duty use like washdowns and showers, how has yours worked out for you? does it actually trap any sand or does it go right thru it.

Maddogg20,
If you are referring to the strainer I have in the picture, yes it does trap sand and it is rated at 250psi as well. For the functionality and the price it is fine.

ur talking about mcmaster carr right? I went on their site and found the water filter section but all i could find were filters with cartridges in them, not screens.
-
I went and checked my order history on Mcmaster.
Here is the part number and I used the mesh screen for it. Sorry I stand corrected it is good for 150psi.

the smaller the numbers on the mesh the smaller the particles itll trap right?

Mad,
For the price it works. It may not be like the 400.00 ones but it does the job. Here is a trick that I learned with this item. The O-ring needs to be glued down to the cup and then lube the O-ring with some grease. The O-ring slid around on me a couple of times. It has been fine so far after I glued it down. Good luck with it.

WARNING WARNING WARNING.....
Clean your strainers everytime after use. I did not figuring it would be good for a few times at the lake. Well the other day on the lake I noticed only one header has steam. I was playing with the banderlog settings and still the same. I then played with the Watts valve, still nothing out of the right side header. I then pulled over the to sand bar and took every water line off (easy with braided lines and the AN fitting tool). The lines were perfect, not a drop of sand.
I then took the strainer off and it had some blockage. Cleaned it all out and then took the boat back out. Got nice steam out of the headers and my pressure was back to where it was supposed to be. Now I will clean it every time I go in or out.

T.J. First let me say like everything you do, it's first class.
Now for us that only through the miracle of the Pub-Lick (in respect to RonWhite) schools managed to graduate highschool but still arent the sharpest pencil in the drawer, could you please explain what all we are looking at in regards to your routing?

Ok here you go. The main line coming in from the jet pump goes directly to the strainer. Then the little tube with the welded -8AN fitting where the -8AN line is goes to the banderlog valve. The banderlog instructions state that full pressure from the pump is required, hence I did this before the WATTs valve.
Ok now we are still at the aluminum tube section that goes to the 3/4" NPT "T" fitting. This goes to the WATTS valve. The WATTS valve has a dump -8AN line overboard. The other side of the WATTS valve -12AN goes to the inlets on the front of the block. Ok JORK, test later, get the #2 pencil out.
Here is a pic of the Banderlog valve. You can see the -8AN line coming into the valve(right side of valve) from the welded aluminum tube thingy.

Beautiful work as always T.J.
Now I understand. I was assuming that these devices actually regulated the water coming in but now I see, that in fact they don't and just when the "sense" extra pressure in the system above the preset limit, they bleed off pressure through the dedicated dump line.........what a maroon I am.(mispelling intentional) :banghead:
Thanks so much for posting the pics up.........john
