Have another question I have installed the engine while everything looks great I believe the .010 clearance for the snubber under the engine plate which is spec at the moment, will not be enough because of floor flex when it is in water . Can I just remove it ?

Working on exhaust made the waterbox bracket today heres a pic

By snubber do you mean some kind of vibration dampener? I'm not sure but .010" is pretty tight and I'd be tempted to squirt a bit of RTV in there to keep the pieces from vibrating against one another. The RTV will act like a shock absorber.

Oh yeah, can you please try to take the pictures so they don't end up sideways? I get funny looks when I turn my head sideways to check out the pics.

Have every thing hooked up ready to run the engine the manual says to mix fuel 40 : 1 with the use of oil injection system during breakin . I have went ahead and removed oil injection , sooooo has anyone mixed 30:1 for breakin

Ive finished the boat enough to take it out, overheat kicked in engine would die at high rpms and a cracked jet pump im reengineering the jet pump with more floor bracing removing rubber isolator under the engine and welding a 190. Aluminum plate to protect the jet pump as for the overheat it was premature because I didnt use any diolectric grease on the overheat sensor. Will run engine to set fuel mixture and get that right. Hopefully be back up and running for striper season

Sorry to read this! I hope you get it all straightened out. Live and learn! That's how we know what to and not to do next time I guess.

Without the dialectic grease I would suspect it ran hotter before the sensor tripped. The dialectic helps transfer the temp to the sensor.

How did the pump get cracked? Your post is really jumbled together to make a lot of sense.

Ill try to do better on the pics in future.

just getting going again have a new jet punp with reverse so im upgrading as well
will probably get the aluminum sheet within the week or so. The boat is completely dissasembled.
the engine is ok the boot inbetween the muffler and waterbox was torn that was the power loss

 

[brianb2247]

Rear deck welded in .second jet pump housing bolted in not sealed though made a plate to weld under boat so the housing is flush with the lip of the pump housing will weld in soon

Very nice build you have got going on. Just joined a few days ago and am very impressed with everyone's builds so far. I am gearing up to rebuild my jetjon and hope it comes out even half as clean as yours. Well done and I will be watching to see the final result.

Steering and reverse installed

So far my favorite mod is tying into the engine and jet pump. I tied the drain fitting into the bottom of the jet pump speedo fitting with a ball valve to drain or keep water water in the livewell. The other port at the top of the live well is to fill it I tied into the jet pump water supply line with a ball valve so you can fill it. Ive ordered a livewell recirculation kit
and plan to install soon.
