How a Berkeley Jet-O-Vator Operates and Functions

[@PBZKYLE]

Great explanation! Makes me glad I have a hydraulic Place Diverter though!

[@AutoTechNick]

The Place Diverter is far less complicated that’s for sure! ~ Nick

[@BigMitchell23]

how do i find one of those hydraulic ones??

[@PBZKYLE]

@@BigMitchell23 look up Place Diverter

As someone who is about to put one of these together from a bunch of loose parts in a box, thank you for this video!!!! This was so helpful, especially the order and placement of the parts through the transom and how it seals. Thanks so much!!

[@AutoTechNick]

I am glad to hear that it was helpful for you! ~ Nick

[@MrPHUCKYOURSELF]

I’m 12 minutes in and this makes sense so much you showing the function.

[@EnfieldJoe]

Lots of information there. Thanks for sharing.

[@AutoTechNick]

Glad it was helpful! ~ Nick

Dude this is my new favorite channel!!! You deserve so much more views!!!!! Thank you for the knowledge man love the boat. I have a 1696 sidewinder with a 455olds and Berkeley jet

[@AutoTechNick]

Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I am glad to her that you are enjoying the videos! Hopefully your out on the water enjoying your boat, not grinding away on the hull like I am!!

[@alois206]

@@AutoTechNick iv been going through the boat and starting to find some issues. so its got one last summer in it before its getting floors, seats, and hopefully a 454 swap from a 455 olds. Your inspiring me to totally restore my boat though. If your ever in Moses lake ill be out there!!

[@AutoTechNick]

Enjoy the summer on the water!!! I hope to have mine back on the water this summer, but it's going to be tight!!! I have yet to boat at moses lake. It's on the list though. Maybe we'll see each other out on the water someday!! ~ Nick

Great video!

[@AutoTechNick]

Thank you!

[@redscorpionairgunner525]

still have a long way to go on my Hawaiian 21ft, jet ! look at all your video`s thanks!

[@AutoTechNick]

This job is definitely not for the faint of heart!! How far along are you with the Hawaiian? ~ Nick

[@805MechanicMatt]

What do you know about the Berkeley JE pump? I have a JE with a hydraulic place diverter.

[@AutoTechNick]

The JG and JE share internal components. The main difference is the configuration of the suction housing, and that you may not have a “split bowl.” ~Nick

[@BigMitchell23]

Nick do you know where i can get the electric actuator with the transom cable?? im dead in the water for over a year, i have the original one but it doesnt look like yours....

[@AutoTechNick]

Berkely sells very limited new parts for these jet-o-vators. Your best bet is to find a used one. ~ Nick

[@bps.1]

Why does it need to be electric, I had a jet boat it had the Berkeley jet drive it was all cable driven no electric it was not hard it was easy to drive

[@AutoTechNick]

It doesn’t have to be electric. They can be either. Nothing is wrong with either style. Mine happened to be electric, so that’s the only reason I was discussing its operation. ~ Nick
