What do you guys like or is it really needed? Can one be made from materials from say Home Depot?
-
Are you trying to filter the water coming into your engine?
I wouldn't do that because you would be restricting water flow. Something small could block the water flow and overheat happens fast.

Never had an issue with my strainer I got at mcmaster. I would always clean it out at the lake hanging out at the sandbar. Took about 30 seconds to do it.

Thats sorta what I was thinking but I found a picture somewhere and cant refind it now, but the guy had a big cartridge filter with a large see-thru case so if it was plugging he could see it. I just finished redoing all the coolant lines from the jet. Now I feel better vs what it had. Thanks to everyone on this site for info I got from the search engine and info from Performance Jet's website. The gauge on the engine reads high for now just so I can see if it goes above say 30psi, I have another smaller one waiting to go on, if it does go way high still I found a perfect valve from Mcmastercarr for 40 bucks or so.

When you find it again post the part number would ya. Thanks
I'm a little concerned about too much water pressure in my system. I don't want to spend $160 on a $40 part that all of the jet boat sites are selling.

I'm looking for a pressure dump overboard vs. restricting flow to keep presure down. Good stuff here-Thanks

Damn droid. Can't paste the url where everything is. Search water pressure regulator.

It looks like you have two dumps( water exiting the engine) and another passage to feed the headers.. What intake manifold is that? I like that setup.... Also it sounds like you just put a pressure gauge on the intake mani. If you did I doubt you will need the pressure relief valve with the two dumps... I would run it before spending 60 bucks on something you don't need... At least not right now.by the way u got a nice boat

I forgot to mention I copied TJS Nordic on the same strainer.... I love it and it works bitchin.. So thanks Nordic

Thanks! My fiancee and myself spent a lot of time looking all over for a floater and found this one in my backyard, bought it on the spot, we stole it for the price. My family grew up drag racing so this engine is a perfect fit for me. It is my first jet boat, had a Bayliner first, never do that again. But what turned me on to this water pressure issue was my first time out I sucked up tons of "Lake Salad" and even though the engine never overheated my nice Bassett's O/T did and I blued them. So learning from my mistake I stumbled upon a few things. 1st didnt know what water pressure was to the block but when I removed my headers I found 2 freeze plugs pushing out, freeky. and originally the boat just had a -10 feeding the engine and a -8 return and a tap for the water injection. So obviously this engine had crazy water pressure and now it has what you described, it just makes total sense and best yet I can control my exhaust water now to turn on at the correct rpms, I am holding off on a pressure regulator. The intake I'm undecided about, that and the micro mini carb. The intake is a Torker 2.0 with the twisted top and the carb is a massive 600 cfm-too small for a 454. The engine is fresh with just over 20 hours on it so this winter I'm going to steel hose everything, get a victor jr. intake and 750 mech dbl pumper.

Is this the strainer?

I'm not sure but this was the one I was talking about, looks very good and its visual so if its plugging up you clean it water at the lake I assume?
