pp jet parts

if someone can come up with a drawing or pic of what it looks like that would be great.

its not a problem for me to cut the boat out to fit the intake. will only take me a few hrs and it will all be glassed up and finished once i know what size i've got to make it.

thanks anthony

 

I'm hoping to have the engine out of mine this weekend so i'll take some pics from the inside of the intake and when it's brighter take some more pics of the under-side

cool cheers dave. appreciate that

 

Garry bear in mind this box also sets the shaft angle of the jet ,from memory about 5 degrees down but check this with Niaid. This is often less than transom angle so you have to let the top in.

 

ok anthony will remember that when i come to fit it in a few weeks time.

could it fit a spacer to the back of the boat to get the right angle. i can easily make a fibreglass spacer at the angle it need to be.

 

Well if you do that make sure to extend it as wide as the base of the jet ,or it will try to suck air under high suction conditions.

 

i will make it bigger by about 2" all round and glass it to the back of the boat so it becomes part of the boat

 

anthony maybe you could pop up one day when i get round to fitting it if your up for it. would be good to have someone there who has got experience with the jet drives.

im near portsmouth so not a million miles away.

 

If i'm in the UK at the right time ,I spend much of my time in Spain.

 

ok mate. i won't be fitting it for a few weeks yet. will be picking my new boat up in 2 weeks time then i can start working on it.

i won't to get the jet drive fully overhauled before i fit it so will be a few weeks before its ready to be fitted

 

what is the new boat ?

 

its a 23ft wilson flyer. i have bought the hull with ribs fitted , gunnels fitted and bonded on and the forward wheelhouse.

first job will be to fit the deck and transom board , then fit bulkhead in wheelhouse then make the engine box. once thats done then i can think about fitting jet drive and engine

 

I have to be honest with you here Garry. that jet is far too small for a Wilson 23. We have two Wilson's in the family at the moment a 20 and a 20 reduced in length by Wilson to a 17 ,both with jets so I am not guessing I know. You will need a 9inch jet for that boat at the very least built light .A 10 or 11 inch would be optimum. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

hmmm. im not after a really fast boat. if i can cruise at 20 knots id be happy and if it did 25 knots flat out id be chuffed to bits.

what size jets you got in yours? got any pics?
