What type of regulators do you guys run off the jet unit for regulating water PSI to the engine?

Thats what I also have been using, but I want to change that. I've got way to much $ into this one to risk milkshaking it. Like I have before!:D :D :D
Thanks, Tommy

Just your standard Watts water pressure reducing regulator, get it from Grainger, Home Depot, Lowes. This Pic is from HBJets old Liberty.

Thanks,
Does that unit have a bypass, or is it just a straight regulator?

Straight regulator. I've run the same one for 5 yrs now with no problems. I have a Water Pressure guage in the dash and never see more than 25 lbs at WOT and around 15 to 18 cruising.

McMaster-carr.com, Item #9763K11. Catalog page 446. I have a "T" at the pump. One side to the regulator, one side to the engine. Regulator is attached directly to a thru-hull fitting. It is set to bypass at 15 PSI.
