Questions about adding a place diverter

[cave]

? A diverter on a JC? You may have to rotate you bowl 90°. Or was I told wrong. Just wondering if Place manufactured an adaptor for the JC.
I got the hydraulic and love it when it works and piss & moan when it don't. I had the manual but it was mounted on the stringer rite in the center of the drivers seat. A couple of big rollers helped my decision to go Hydro.
with the Hydraulic you can tap the toggle till you find the sweet spot. You can do the same with a manual but you have to find it by adjusting the lock nuts.
I can feel where the sweet spot is now. That rush of speed is worth the money!

I've only seen one JC set up that way with a jet-ovator. My jc is set up just right for a place diverter without turning the bowl

So you didnt have to modify the bowl to get the diverter to work? I thought you needed a split bowl for the Place Diverter. Thats good news for Amm.
Back when I bought my Place Diverter I was asked if I had a split bowl. I was told If I had a JC I would have to rotate the bowl so the pins where vertical. I told them I had a JG and it was all good.

Nope, that's only on factory jet-o-vator ones I believe. My pins are straight up and down, but my friend's JC nozzle pins are on the left and right hand sides, but if you have a jetovator I don't think you would need a place diverter at all cause they allready have trim adjust.

in your boat i'd probably do hydraulic...like cave said when it works its the best but when it doesn't i have a manual now but honestly i wish i had my hydraulic diverter back.. i hate having the shifter on the floor ....oh and if you do manual get a lockout shifter

Here is a couple of pics of mine, before I swapped bowls. Its a JC pump, the diverter was on it when I bought the boat. When I started making inquiries about the bowl deal, I was told the diverter for a JC pump & a JG pump were interchangeable. That was key in my deal, cause if I had to spring for another diverter, I wasn't gonna swap bowls....

Depends on the diverter you have. I have seen them both ways.
One does require you to rotate the bowl 90*.
In the last pic, the reverse gate is forced up in forward with the jet stream and drops down for reverse.

When the bowl is twisted 90* like that you don't even need a place diverter do you? Isn't it basically the same thing?
