Very nice. Congrats!  :thumbup:

Do you have to do anything to it before you run it?
Do you plan on making any changes?

Thanks. Uh I have to figure out why the previous owner decided to rig the jetavator so it doesn't move. He claims he keeps snapping cables on it. It doesn't have shag carpet under the bow but the seats he says are original ? They look pretty good for being original. Anybody have a jetavator that has that problem

Judging by the diamond pattern on the interior I would not be surprised if was original. Looks really clean. Love the old school look👍👍

Thanks I hope so too. Yeah I new it was rigged before I went and looked at it. He said he went through two cables and they both snapped at the end where it mounts to the pump. Does anyone have a diagram of how it works and how the cable goes together with the pump ? He have me all the pieces to put it back together just need a new cable

That is a Jet-o-vator and not a Place diverter right?
Did the guy say where and what exactly he meant by the cable was "snapping"?

My diverter cable jacket had split where the crimped end piece is and I had no real control of my diverter.
Maybe he had a bad angle on the cable where it attaches to the pump arm? ??? Just a thought.

Edit: you replied before me.

I would think the cable should be as straight as possible as it goes into the arm.
Maybe it needs a different size cable to fit straight into the arm.

Yeah that's what I was thinking that he maybe got the wrong cable. I'm not familiar with the jet I vators so I'm not sure how it goes through the hull and out to the pump. Right now he has two sleeves on the inside and outside to keep the jet o vator stationary. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow before I leave for work so you guys can get a better idea

Got a few pics this morning of the pump and the sleeve he made. Let me know what you guys think. Should I keep the jet o vator and run it or ditch it and get a place diverter
