what did you do drink all his JD?

Place diverter got us our new arm for our diverter. I am going to drill and tap it so I can use an air ram to open my f/r bucket. 👍👍👍

just curious....why an air ram?  are you using air to actuate f/r....?  would that be a full forward/full reverse application only....no 'neutral'?

Iam using this in a drag racing app so only need forward and neutral. But yes, also there's not really a neutral on normal set up boats, but yes there would only be f/r

racing app, got it.  so full forward or reverse.  neutral would be a split between forward and reverse....acts like a neutral anyway....still producing thrust, i know.  the reason it struck me funny is....air is compressible.  not sure how much force there is on the bucket... but in neutral....it would seem that the bucket can move as there wouldnt be enough pressure it ram to hold....acting like an air shock.  then of course i was thinking of how it would be activated....but nevermind that part.  in your app, its snap on and off, right?  i understand that and there would be enough force to keep it open or closed.  thank man

I totally get it....for race app. or when It's either in OR out....Nothing in between. It's the in between part I didn't see working well.

Jake's reverse is welded up on his pump full reverse is like neutral it shoot out side ways.  They can stay on the line without fighting the boat to stay in one place.

Understood. Thanks.

setup looks good!


quick question.....(see pic)

thanks man.

does it help slow boat down at end of pass?

(sorry, im writing a book )  joking, pardon the 20 questions

                               

....and that just let jet thrust escape thru there instead of pushing the boat forward.....

ive heard it can also be used to control the amount of thrust going out of nozzle and thereby controlling how fast the boat goes. for bracket racing.  can be set in a comp to do so automatically at a given point and how much to open valve.  less things for the driver to worry about while making a pass.
i havent heard of it being used as a brake, if you will.

maybe youve seen this....maybe not...
