C pump! Easy way? Send it out to a reputable guy! gonna have to agree here, if you dont know exactly what you are doing then send it to a reputable pump shop, rebuilding a pump is not as easy as some people think,
its like a motor, seems fairly easy, but if youve ever seen a pro do it you realize all the little things that you never even thought of which give you way better performance and longevity
i can recommend a pump builder, but he is here in so cal. so you would either have to ship it, or take one hell of a road trip

How about this pump?
I've been told, Bay Jet.
Any other info about it would be helpful. :)

[HavasuBarney]

I know the motor is supposed to be bolted to the transom, so where else could the pump go...? :)

[Sangster]

Yup...the tough one is gonna be getting the Jack plate hooked up to the Pump...... :D

[spectratoad]

Better get some waterproof guages also!! :D

BADAXE:
tuff crowd :rolleyes: Aint that the truth! :) I don't have much luck asking any questions about my jet boat in here. You guys make these car motors sound easy to install but I must admit, I'm lost with this project... Almost to the point of fixing that transom and slapping an OB on this boat... :confused:
How is your boat coming along BADAXE? I gotta say, I really like the colors and layout.

tuff crowd :rolleyes: yeah no shit! now i want to know what kind of pump it is?!?

[bilgewiper]

I had a old 69 Sidewinder that had a pump like that (except it aimed the right way...LOL) it was a Berk JA pump with that old style nozzel.

[Bense468]

man look at that reverse bucket on that thing (actually the way you have it sitting, it would be the forward thrust). Barn try to find a berk for that thing or just fix it up and slap it together if it is not going to be anything special.

[HavasuBarney]

OK, Berk JA... what does that tell me?
Is there somewhere I can read about pumps, what better parts might fit this one?
It's such a clean tunnel boat, beautiful paint, very light, 375lbs, sitting on a sweet trailer. I sure hate the idea of slapping her together. I'd like to run it since I've never driven a hot tub car boat before.
I'm hoping I have a motor partner cause I don't know shit about pumps and car motors.
I've been told the rail kit fits a 454.
So you guys think scrap this pump or can it be helped?
Hack Job told me I could trade it in on a newer Berk, any idea what the gains would be?

if it is an older berk you can trade it for about 2 grand I believe (don't hold me to this number) for a newer berk. This is kind of a hard decision, if it was me and it is a pos pump like an "a" or a bayjet I would probably trade it, or try to find a newer pump for sale. It does not look like a "c" or a "g" pump but these are what you want to look for. If by for some odd reason it is one of these berk pumps listed above I would have it gone through install it in the boat.
Just a little side note of advise barney and a real quick lesson on pumps. The C and G are the same pumps with different bowls. The intake (or suction piece) is the same. A g bowl is split so you would be able to add a wedge to it and you will see it split in half with bolts running through it. A C is not split. You should read up on some of the pump threads that HBjet started in theis jet fourm to get some ideas and learn a little if you really want to put this together RIGHT.

boy, i remember those winners! it's a bayjet with an early berk nozzle and a bayjet tiller arm. those were around briefly in the early 70's.
