Everything else was sent sept the Oring.

[steelcomp]

Yeah yeah, that's all real pretty an stuff, but what does that have to do with a Jet-O-Vator?? :sleeping:
What happened to the mini droop?

[cave]

Fastrat, Maybe this will help, These are the small parts.

If there is something missing maybe some one could let us both know. There was a brown plastic deal that was rotten that I could remeber if it was part of the Jetovator or not.

i got all the parts u sent n/p...the only thing i noticed in the pics u just sent...was the piece for the steering rod...an extension piece...i can make that...i guess i will just have to figure out how the tube with the spring goes on & the cable from the shifter attaches...i'll let u know
Ron

[FASTRAT]

hey squirt...
nice pics... thnx...but ur set-up is entirely different than mine...look at cave's pics...thats what i got...i just cant figure out how the tube with the spring goes on...i guess i'll just play with it lol... til i get it rite...thnx again
Ron

[cave]

On the top picture with the small parts. The part on the bottom right attachés to the steering tube in front of the spring. The bolt on the steering tube that is on the tube is on the outside. Take the spring off, push the tube through from the outside. A new tube gasket is required. then from the inside place the spring on the tube then the small clamp part on the bottom right of the top picture secures the tube in place. Compress the spring a about a 1/4 it length. Tighten the clamp. Push your steering stem through the tube. Then on the red cable the threaded side goes through the hole on the back of the transom adapter. There should be a hole there Ron. If not I'll take a pic of mine and e mail it to you.
From outside ||======= then ////////// then {}.
Bolt ||, Tube =======, Spring //////////, Spring clamp {}.
I thought you had this all together Bud. Those sure are nicepics of a Pump rear end. Here is a pick of the way it was from the adapter when I first got the boat.

what is the benefit of the wedge you have in the pump? I have berkley pump with droop and place diverter but no wedge will it help me? my dad has one but no droop.Also what the best impeller to run for a boat with 450-500 hp??

[Squirtin Thunder]

The benefit of the wedge is to give you more adjustability. Which in turn will get you the proper angle of thrust to make your boat run better with more control. Now that set up did not work for me, that 2* down wedge, I will be going back to just the droop and see how that works. With a stock pump and no droop, I ran 7* up. That set up worked well. I ran 444 lhp on a standard Berk A impeller @ 5300 rpm, 74 mph. Now with my MPD B- impeller, I am moving more water, less rpm to plane and speed is upwards of 75 mph @ 5100 rpm. So depending on your set up, weight of your boat, cam, price of tea in China and the atmospheric pressure of hell, I personally recommend an MPD B or AB impeller.

My boat runs around 80 @5500rpm but i never had a wedge. I think my impeller is bronze and i have a droop.
Thanks for the info
