What are you doing? generally there is no fiberglass used when installing a pump...except for the boat itself of course.

I currently have a jaccuzzi
ben looking at berkeley's
would love to hear the right way to do it!
i've been thinking about grinding down the glass around the (too large)hole--not sure how far.then maybe filling the hole partially with wood(not sure what kind yet)then glassing it up smooth-installing new intake.
I too would love to hear from someone who has done this!!!!!!!!!!!

I started to install the intake depending on what angle of transom you have the distance of spacing from the transom changes. So I figured the angle made the mark for the spacing and then got out the sawzall and lengthened the opening.
Now I am curious as to which Type of fillers I should use. Should I glass resin a piece of plywood in or should I actually use some glass cloth? :idea:

This was my Sleekcraft Executive after installing an American Turbine SD-309
pump, replacing a Berkeley 12JG. The 12 deg.transom was modified to acept the 8 deg. transom flange of the SD-309, and the area foreward of the pump was filled in because of the setbeck style pump.

Not sure on the dimensions compared to the jacuzzi. I hope you didn't have a WJ before and someone talked you into a Dominator...we wont go there though if thats what happened ;)
If you had to remove material and your intake will drop in now, give Jack at MPD a call and Im sure he will talk you through the install. You will need some Sea Goin Poxy Putty-he carries it. Try searching around the forums for some old topics, this has been covered in pretty good detail before.
