    I looked at a boat I'm considering to buy & saw a lot of grease coming out of the packing seal & packing gland area. Not sure if its been Over greased or the seal & packing gland need to be replaced? Can this seal or packing gland be replaced without pulling the engine or the pump? What labor...

    I bought a good length of graphite packing rope to use on my Berkeley. How long do I cut each rope? I've probed the internet but the answer is not forth coming. Thanks

    I'm the guy that's been running my homebuilt water jet pack off my Berkeley. In the beginning of the testing stages this summer the first few hours we had no problems with air or seizure, just a matter of time, finally had a small seizure. I've been using the standard berk white ropes. Should I...

    I have a Berk 12jg and would like to know if tapping a Zerk fitting into the packing ring housing delivers grease to the shaft well... ? If so is there any particular location that's best? Thanks

    Berkeley packing ring seizure.... I rebuilt my Berkeley 12jg last November because there was a major seizure between the shaft and the packing rings, I was at full tilt when it got so hot before I realized it that it sheared the shaft in two. So here we are in July, with maybe 5 hours on the...

    The 1977 Riviera I am restoring has a Hallcraft Rudder assembly. The boat sat for many years and the Rudder has a lot of slop in it. I disassembled everything, cleaned it up & replated the Rudder. There was no shaft seals installed. The Grease Fitting on the Shaft Log is good. Do I just pack the...

    The winger vs. V-hull brought up something I've been curious about for a while. What are the pro's and con's/differences between an air passing tunnel, and an air packing tunnel? Let's say you had the same HP/Pump/Weight in an Eliminator Scorpion and a Daytona. What are the differences on...

    First off, I did some searching and besides alot of threads on "..my boat is filling with water, why?" and some thread about a world record jet boat jump :54: I couldn't find a thread that had some tips on removing the old packing from a jet w/o disassembling it. I've had my jet for 2 years and...

I figure the...

    I'm working with a couple of mfg in the performance industry that have been considering relocating their operations. We had Borla exhaust move to my "neck of the woods" last year and they have had nothing but positive things to say about the decisions. It's true we don't wear shoes and we...

    On the old style Dominators, Do they take 5 rope seals or 4? Reason I ask is I was putting my pump together today and got the five seals in there, But I cant get the clamp down on them. With 4 it would fit nicely. But is that the way it is supposed to be? Thanks for any info. :)Unsure
