Berk Suction

mardi 31 mars 2015

Gentlemen, My Berk Suction just forward of the Impeller is

breaking away. My thrust bearing didn't let go & the clearances were

set right by CP Performance. Not sure what caused this, but what are

the options for replacing the original piece? Is there a big difference between

suctions from different manufacturers & which ones will bolt up to a JG bowl?

Just wanted to get my research done before pulling the trigger on a new/used

piece.........

Blower HUB, no damper, timing.

Ok..



Seen some engines on here like mine with no Damper, Blower application, blower hub..



Now,,,,, how do you time your engine.?



I seen some have timing marks on the fly-wheel? Are these fly-wheels sold like these or does the engine builder add the timing marks?



I was thinking, TDC on #1, and scribe my timing marks on my Wheel, intstall a pointer, and go from there....



anyone have any better ideas? little degree wheel behind the lower blower pulley, in front of the blower hub...?

Hydroflite prop spacing

As I am changing about 100 things at a time on the Hydroflite, I took a close look at the prop spacing from the strut. From all accounts, I believe the prop should be sitting about 3/8 back from the strut face, with some adjustments made with nickels.



....well, mine measures 1.245" from the prop collar to the strut face, which is a bit on the excessive side. I'm kinda wondering if the whirl-away was added and the prop shaft was never shortened, does that make sense?



anyways, if I shorten the shaft I'm curious how much I should take off. I'm leaning towards removing 1" total, to get to a 1/4" spacing, with a nickel or two added just to see what happens.



Does all this sound reasonable?

Crack Repair Questions (pics included)

lundi 30 mars 2015

Got my project all stripped and am now working to get it all ready for paint. What is the best bet to fix these similar but different scenarios?



1- spider cracks. Not sure if they go through the gel or not. My intent was to grind a V into the areas, fill with resin, then blend. BUT I'm will to do what the pros tell me.





2- Holes in dash from previous owners. My intent was to tape bottom side, fill with resin, sand. Again, I'll do what I'm told.





3- CRACK. So this travels across the back, and then terminates at a hole where the chute pack bolts on. I'm really not sure what to do here

Polyurethane vs. Gelcoat

The paint job on my boat has been damaed by fuel spills. If that was the only problem a spot repair would be possibility. Unfortunately there are many other problems in the paint job that can only be corrected by a complete refnish. The question is: finish with polyurethane or gelcoat? The gelcoat wil be fuel proof, but if I go with paint the gaphics could be more elaborate. I want to have the boat painted to period correct graphics for a '78 Sanger ski hydro. The boat will be used as a weeked hot boat, not show boat, so a hand sanded and buffed clear polyurethane top coat is not neessary.



Right now, I would go with the gelcoat color and gelcoat clear top coat. I haven't talked with a painter yet, but most of the boats I see on this website appear to be painted rather than gelcoated, so there must be a reason.



Please expain...



Thanks,

Blower carbs cleaned

Hey guys I removed my 4150 series 950 cfm Holley carbs a few months back to have cleaned because they were plugged up. They were completely disassembled and cleaned in some kind of machine (they look new know). Anyway I put them back on and took the boat to the water the other day. I back it into the water and went to start it and it fired right up. The problem is it now idles up and down up and down kind of fast between say 1600 to 800 rpm and it use to idle between 1000 and 850 relatively smooth. These are boost referenced carbs and I know very little about carbs. Having (2) carbs on the motor where do you start at as far as adjustments. This is a 572 merlin with a 1471 Littlefield supercharger, intercooler etc. I have a call in to the shop here in Houston that did the cleaning.

Prop installation tips

I am going to install a new prop on my Schiada. My past experience was:

1. See where prop fits on shaft w/o key.

2. Cut key stock to length. (Question? How long? I know, not to exceed prop dimensions)

3. Install prop with key on shaft and check position to where prop was w/o key.

4. Install NY-lock nut.



As you can imagine, the prop was $$$. I don't want to screw anything up for both safety and $$ reasons.

Your expert input is greatly appreciated.

Sweet Spring Break









  • Sweet Spring Break



    03/25/2015

    0 Comments





    We’ve been making the most of spring break it has been delightful to spend time as a family and boat the days away. We are just your average hard working family and taking big vacations away from home are not always possible that’s why we love our boat because we can enjoy a vacay day anytime we want. A tank of gas, cooler of drinks and lunch and we’re all set!



    Last Friday we went over to Tavares to check out the boats for the vintage boat races we got to see them in action and meet a lot of nice folks here participating in the races. Sunday we made our way back and enjoyed watching the races, visiting the pits and the beautiful weather hanging out on the shoreline and running along the lake. We tried lunch from the Sand Bar right along the water’s edge in Tavares. It’s mostly an outdoor bar with a few picnic tables along the lake and really good BBQ. The food was affordable and there was a great band too. We’d visit again.



    Tuesday the boys met up with some family over on the Clermont chains and had a great visit. The water levels are really up so if you haven’t checked out this lake it’s a good time to go. Lunch at the Tiki Bar was great and you can now tie up at the docks as the water is back to normal. We heard a rumor that the City of Clermont has plans to revitalize their waterfront with splash parks, restaurants and more that would be wonderful! We love to hear about all the growth on small town waterfronts we’ll be checking this out.



    Today it was a nice afternoon float and dip at the local lake, Stake Lake.



    We’ve been making the most of our break and getting in all the boating time we can if only we could get paid for it we’d do it every day! I hope everyone out there is using their boat and getting the most out of your piece of floating relaxation. The weeks not over yet and if there’s a chance to get back out there we’ll probably take it.



    We hope your next adventure in boating finds you relaxing in the sun with friends or family get all the boat time you can.

timing question?

I finally got the motor running, but now I have a timing problem, when at idle the timing mark on the harmonic balancer is straight up, right under the water pump. I have a 454 in the boat now but it used to have a 396, im using the original timing cover (glenwood) its item number 936 I believe on the parts list, im wondering if the timing marks are the same? they sale 3 different type of timing covers for bbc's but this should not have to do with the timing mark right? I am using a Mallory hei dizzy, and I did line it up tdc, pointing at #1 plug, #1 cyl, ,,, when at idle and the timing gun set at 0 - on the dial the marks on the harmonic balancer are straight up , if I turn the dial on the gun to 32 or 34 , the the marks on the balancer line up at tdc on the timing cover, the motor runs good, no back fires , so maybe the springs in the dizzy are to weak and advancing It at idle? just don't want to mess the motor up....trying to post a pic , computer is not letting me , or its just me, probably me

Big Block Compression Ratio on pump gas

Curious what compression ratio (and cam specs) you guys are getting away with on pump gas? I am in the process of building a 468 chevy for my Hondo and trying to decide what kind of compression I want to end up with. I want to be on the edge of pump gas, don't mind blending, but do not want to be stuck running race gas only. Compression is not worth that much power... I would rather have less compression and be able to run more timing than a bunch of compression and have to retard the timing.



My understanding is with a pretty radical cam and being in a v drive as opposed to a car, we can get away with more compression than our 4 wheeled friends. Post your setups!

Ski boat cam and motor advise

Ok,

This is nothing Bob would build as it's way to boring and low hp deal, but hoping some of you can give me a thumbs up or another route for my 454 Chevy build. I am building a very basic ski boat motor for my 17'8" Mandella V-drive. Building it for pulling my kids, cruising and dependability.



454 block .30 over

049 heads with 2.19/1.88 stainless valves. No porting or anything done but oversized valves.

Forged steel crank.

Forged Pistons with large stock con rods. Rotating assembly is balanced.

CC'ing heads and piston size it comes to @ 9.3:1 static. (Easy pump gas)

Motor is going hydraulic flat tappet. Nothing fancy!!

i am looking at a Crane Cam 272-2. 272/284 - 515/510 on a 112 lobe sep. 1600-5400rpm.

Intake is a Performer and a Edelbrock 750.

Exhaust is logs with turndowns going thru transom.

HEI.

72C Velvet drive.

17 gears in the box.

3 blade 11-1/2 x 15



I am thinking with weight of boat, hitting 5k may be luck :)

Any advise or options about cam??

Just want a nice pulling ski boat that sounds good and can be fun up to 5k.

thanks!!!

Did you hear the one . . .

Knowing that most all of our resident liberals voted - twice, mind you - for Obama, I thought it would be fitting to share a very truth-filled joke with you all to clarify just exactly what the consequences of those votes were:



Bob: “Did you hear about the Obama administration scandal?,



Jim: “You mean the Mexican gun running?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean SEAL Team 6?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean the State Dept. lying about Benghazi?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean voter fraud?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean the military not getting their votes counted?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The NSA monitoring our phone calls, emails and everything else?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean the of drones in our own country without the benefit of the law?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “Giving 123 Technologies $300 Million and right after it declared bankruptcy and was sold to the Chinese?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “You mean the president arming the Muslim Brotherhood?”



Bob: “No the other one:.



Jim: “The IRS targeting conservatives?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The DOJ spying on the press?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “Sebelius shaking down health insurance executives?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “Giving SOLYNDRA $500 MILLION DOLLARS and 3 months later they declared bankruptcy and then the Chinese bought it?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The NSA monitoring our phone calls, emails and everything else?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The president’s ordering the release of nearly 10,000 illegal immigrants from jails and prisons, and falsely blaming the sequester?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The president’s threat to impose gun control by Executive Order in order to bypass Congress?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The president’s repeated violation of the law requiring him to submit a budget no later than the first Monday in February?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The 2012 vote where 115% of all registered voters in some counties voted 100% for Obama?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The president’s unconstitutional recess appointments in an attempt to circumvent the Senate’s advise-and-consent role?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “The State Department interfering with an Inspector General investigation on departmental sexual misconduct?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “Clinton, the IRS, Clapper and Holder all lying to Congress?”



Bob: “No, the other one.”



Jim: “I give up! … Oh wait, I think I got it! You mean that 65 million low-information voters who don’t pay taxes and get free stuff from taxpayers and stuck us again with the most pandering, corrupt administration in American history?”



Bob: “THAT’S THE ONE!”

Looking to buy a Hallett or Cole

N. Cal DLB members,



I'm looking to buy a Hallett Vector, 210 or a Cole 20SS, Nighthawk or Superhawk with a closed bow. Would prefer years 1990-2000 (newer the better), no blowers or tunnel rams (want reliability). Not crazy about yellow, pink, black or completely solid colors. Would prefer (L) hand drive if possible. Boat needs to be clean and well taken care of.



I'm not looking for a fire sale but don't want to get ripped or pay an "inflated" price, just a respectable boat for a reasonable price. Have cash will pay up to 20G for the right boat.



I live in the (916) area code and would rather buy in N. Cal than make a drive to S. Cal or Arizona.





Thanks Steve

new owner of 1971 19' Bieselmeyer Jet boat

I have won on a auction a 1971 Jet boat, comes with a brand new 550HP 460 Ford, and Berkley jet drive. I am very new to this arena and to say I am ignorant of the "jetboat subject" is saying it nicely. I got the boat with a trailer that has lifetime tags. From the pictures I have seen, everything is in perfect condition. Zero rips or tears and all gel coat looks flawless. I really have no idea what to be looking for when the boat arrives here @ the house in 5 days. Can you members offer any advice? Thank you, Nick

I am here to tell you all water cops are on "high alert" to really crack down on drinking while boating. It has been passed down to them that they have to really crack down on this & they are going to. I was told that everywhere between Discovery Bay/Orwood up thru Franks Tract & east over past ski beach & Windmill are the target zones, especially Orwood/Discovery Bay/ski beach.

Who to use to freshen up a blown 426 hemi

Last April I bought a '78 Sanger ski hydro with a blown 426 hemi in it. The motor was originally built in 2003 by Koffel in Michigan. 8-71 blower, 2 carbs, roller cam, etc, making about 800 HP. Can someone refer me to someone who can freshen up the motor? The boat will not be raced, just a weekend hot boat. Please PM me who you think would do a good job. Would prefer someone in Northern California.

advice on new motor

I just found out I need a new motor for my 28' Silhouette deck boat. I'm looking for some advice on getting one and what else it may take to get top performance out of it. It had a Mercruiser 502 with a Bravo One outdrive. I would like to upgrade to at least 800 horsepower to get more power or I'm considering adding a blower. I know I will have to change to hydraulic steering and probably a closed cooling system but just wanted to see if any one has any other suggestions or knowledge they can share with me so I know I've got all bases covered. Thanks

    This past weekend we found ourselves not only with beautiful spring weather but almost summer temps as we made a quick switch from winter to spring but we’re not complaining will take all the warm sunny days we can get.



    It was an all boys weekend as I found myself needing to tend to the household this weekend but you know that’s not such a bad thing.



    Some boys and their dads have a love for the game, any game, but not my boy. Ever since he could toddle around he loved anything with a motor. His big plastic little car he’d drive around the yard, the tricycle, matchbox cars, the trash truck, toy fire engines, his room was decorated in a car theme, still is and his favorite…the laundry basket he would sit in and pretend it was his boat. The K-2 preschool teacher would tell me during free play he would sit in a box and shout “RRRRRum, rummm,rummm!” She couldn’t figure it out he would tell her “I’m playing boats” she’d say “Boats are not that loud” and he’d answer “My daddy’s is.”



    Joe has grown up boating since he was seven months old and he’d stay on that boat from sun up till sun down. When a boat passes by he can tell you the make, model and engine size. So when the opportunity comes for his dad and him to boat together it’s a peck on the cheek and off they go. Saturday they hung out on Lake Butler at Bird Island he told me how he swam the afternoon away. Sunday after church they went close to home over to Starke Lake were they anchored down for afternoon sun and then a quick dip along the shore. This is time went spent memories Joe will have for a lifetime remembering the long sunny days on the water with his dad, going to boating events and races.



    Joe may never be a super star athlete; you never know maybe he will. But he’ll know this one thing his dad loved him enough to spend all his free time with him doing something he loved. He may not ever win a scholarship or hear the roar of the crowd but he’ll know how to be a good dad and that’s worth a million.



    May your next adventure in boating find you with someone you love alongside or at least someone you like. ;)

CP Performance Boat parts

mercredi 18 mars 2015

FYI on the Horrible Service.

My GF ordered a blue aluminum Ore

First week of December 2014, aka before Xmas. It's now March 18th 2015 and I still haven't received it.

We have called multiple times. Once they told us it was being anodized and second time they said it was being polished. Note : when we call nobody ever answered the phone and after calling 8-10 times they only have called us back twice and their stories are really shady. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from this Company.

Gel Gloss?

My neighbor had a can of this stuff so I tried using some today. I was instantly impressed with the results. The can say apply on a dry cloth, rub on, then buff out. It says it cleans and polishes at the same time. I went online to order myself some but first decided to do some research on it. I found a thread on River Daves Place where they were talking about this stuff. Some people were saying that they used it for years but then the gel coat became dull and chalky. Both said they don't know or think it was from the gel gloss. One guy was recommending carnauba wax.



So, I was curious if anyone on here has experience with this stuff. If not, what do you guys do to bring back that showroom shine.



Thanks

455 exhaust gasket question

is there a difference in the 455 exhaust gaskets that have the divider between the two center ports and ones that do not? I just went to the local auto store to order a set of Felpro gaskets and the picture they showed me had nothing between those two ports. Anything I should know here??





455 exhaust gasket question

I need answers!

With the new 545 going in Slowride, a couple questions have arisen.

First, it has a 5 blade Jacuzzi WJ pump with an aluminum impeller. I'll likely be exceeding 500 horse, so are there any options to go with a stainless impeller and possibly a AA equivalent? I know I can replace the pump with a Berk, but would like to avoid it if possible.

Second, I have Harman long bolt logs and have pretty much made up my mind to modify them for CJ-sized exhaust ports so i can keep it through transom. Material will need to be heli-arced on the top of the ports so I can open them up to match the ports, but does anyone know how close to the head flange the passages are? I would like to blend them at least a 1/2" inside the entry but would like to know before hand how much wall I have before I blow into the water passage. Anyone ever done a cutaway of long bolts?





I need answers!

Blower bench racing

After a "bench racing" / "trying to solve the worlds HP issues" session with a buddy the other day we ran into a question we couldn't answer. And its been driving me crazy so I have to ask the experts.



Sure it takes HP to turn a roots blower. But, what about turning the blower takes HP ? Is it just turning its mass to a given RPM, or does its HP drain increase with boost ? Or both ?

Example #1.

If an 871 is driven 1 to 1 and makes 15lbs of boost on one engine and on another engine still driven 1 to 1 it only makes 5lbs of boost. Is it taking the same amount of HP to turn the blower on both engines ?



Example #2

Two 871 blowers, one basic un stripped blower, and one super ultimate multi stripped tight clearance blower. Basic blower driven so its making 15lbs of boost. Super blower driven slower to build the same boost on the same engine. Are both blowers taking the same HP at the blower snout to turn because there building the same boost ? Or is the super blower taking less HP at the snout because its turning slower ? Not talking about at the crank here, I realize turning the super blower slower would free up some crank HP, talking about at the blower snout.

I removed a Comp 11-000-9 Billet solid roller cam with .772" lift from my BBC blown gas 522 CID engine, then installed a Comp 11-694-8 Non-billet cam with less lift (.652"). Brodix heads have Manley Nextek double springs #221424 with 1.64" OD & nice titanium retainers. They have 250# closed seat pressure and 670# at full lift of my new .652" lift cam. Thus, too much spring pressure for the cam. Comp Cams tech rep said don't go over 500# pressure at full lift (said around 470# is good) with this non-billet cam and should have closed seat pressure around 170#. Problem is; nobody makes a 1.64" OD spring that has the less pressure that I need that I can use these same titanium retainers. (There are actually some poorer quality "No name" 1.64 springs available, but my titaniun retainers won't fit them) The better spring companies all want to sell me new 1.55" OD springs, retainers and locators to fix problem for $600-$700. But that is a lot of money and more hassle. Heads are on the engine in the boat right now. My question is: Can I just remove the inner springs & run the outer spring alone? I tested pressures both closed and open at .652 (full open lift for my new cam) and they are basically both perfect with the outer spring only. Had 170 closed at my 2.00" installed height and 470# open pressure at my cams full .652" lift.

school me on air shifters...

Need a little help understanding.



I have a casale box with whirl-away and I want to shift between neutral and drive, then from drive to neutral and vise-versa, all at idle or off idle. Prior owner said that shifting while running almost broke his arm, so that sounds non-so-fun.



The shifter is also burried in the back seat, which is not practical to get to. Will an air-shifter help kill 2 birds with one stone? Give me shiftability from the driver seat?



options on setups? I looked at the beaverfab setup.

Valerie Jarrett Leaked Hillary’s Private Email Use

Vengeful Obama confidante Valeria Jarrett went through back channels to leak Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to the press, an explosive new report reveals. The New York Post‘s Edward Klein reports that a source familiar with Bill Clinton said that the former president told him: “The Obamas are out to get us any way they can.”



NY Post: Valerie Jarrett Behind Hillary Email Leaks



It was pretty obvious that Obama has no love for the Democratic party (or for any lib that's not in his pocket and they are just foot soldiers to sacrifice for the cause) after the last election cycle where he was asked just to lay low for a few weeks until after the election. Did he do it? Not even a little bit. For that matter I think he went out of the way to make things worse. Now you are starting to see some of the bondo filled cracks show through the paint.

What boat to buy for a 505 BBC

I have recently taken my BBC out of my Jet boat to sell. I'm wanting to put the motor in something with an outdrive, in the 22' range. Looking for something in the early to mid 90's. What boat would you guys suggest? Also, what drive would I need to handle that sort of power (600 HP)? I honesltly don't even know what to look for so any info would be great! A cool looking boat of course :)devil



Thanks in advance,

Andy
