i think my buddy has one...ill talk to him tomorrow and ask. i think its for a jc but the bowl on a jc and a je are the same...just the pump is different. he will probly want like 250 for it then you will need to get a cable and control...sometimes its better to just call tom and get a new one. the cable is like 40 and the control is like 50 used...although i made my first one.

Repoman: they arent the same....the reverse bucket controls are very different between the two.
Standard:

I could only wish I had invented this "diverter" my self , I'd probably retire, The fact is they're hard to find used and when they do they get snapped up quickly or pass between friends often time selling for nearly what they cost new , To complicate things "E"s are less common and thus less "available" The standard type diverter can be used in place of the "e" with some modifications (relocated steering) and cable routing but swim steps and other body designs may complicate this . As usual JBP is always here for our socal Brothers Beav give me a call if I can help Tom

Give Tom a shout Beav, He's fixed me right up with the setup your talking about. Now if he would just tell me what size bolts for the loader :banghead:
Just picking Tom ;D
I really appreciate all your help getting these parts together.
-
I might be needing one of these too, but I think I should focus on getting mine running before adding goodies.
-
well thanks for the clear up...i think your best bet is to call tom. he'll take care of you and save you money in the process

Keep checking guys this stuff changes almost daily Tom

...As is the steering connection.
Having converted a C/G style diverter to an E/F style, I can tell you it's not worth the trouble. The only part that is reused without modification is the trim nozzle. The tiller and reverse bracket and reverse bucket are different and the steering nozzle needs to be machined to accept the E steering bracket. Just buy an E style diverter and be done.

Are you looking for this?
That's not a "diverter" as in Place Diverter. That would be a stock Berkeley "F" trimmable nozzle. It works, but is a bit "clumsy" compared to the Place unit. Also, there are no replacement parts available for the main components should they break. The "yoke", or gimbal, seems to be the most susceptible to failure. I've seen many requests on various boat board through the years for that specific part.

Ya but the post started with the words "im looking for a berk "e" diverter", so I thought he wanted the Berk version of a diverter not the Place version of a diverter.
-

-

Thanks

-
While you're at it, check and see if he has two, lol I need one as well, now that I know how much fun they are.
