This pump is the latest evolution of the family of Berkeley Jets. With over a million pumps sold we've used our knowledge to develop the All New Berkeley 12JI Pump.
This pump begins its construction with a super tough, high strength aluminum alloy 356T alloy casting the strongest most serviceable aerospace material around. Then each unit is CNC machined, hard anodized, and powder coated "Berkeley White™".
Each unit is assembled using only the finest in stainless steel hardware, but its what's inside that counts. Starting with Berkeley's unique single stage mixed flow impeller that produces maximum thrust per horsepower. The 12JI Pump also incorporates a special trimming device allowing you to adjust your boat's attitude while underway through the use of a manual control. A hydraulic control is optional.
The 12JI Pump is sold as a pump only for replacement of inferior copy pumps or just a tired original Berkeley unit.
You can now take advantage of the factory to consumer special allowing you to trade in your old pump for credit towards the All New Berkeley 12JI.
The 12JI is sold complete with a transom housing, steering tube assembly, and a manual trim nozzle, with cable and control.
That pile of verbage is courtesy of Berkely's website. Supposed to fit somewhere in between the 12JG and 12JR (race) pumps and wouldn't you know it, but I have the 12JI on my boat. Only problem is mine is fully built and detailed and has been for about 3 years now but still hasn't touched water. It's my first 12JI and I really don't know how good it is (or isn't). Hopefully somebody else will toss their $.02 into the arena.
