Pics of the C.a.t.s I have been working on, thanks to Superramjet

its just mocked up now, I think I can get a few more deg. of throw with a little choppy choppy.

and you can see the drains installed in the pump area.

What brand valve did you buy?

 

[JetManiac]

ride plate inserts are in . moved on to the exhaust tube. made a ""beauty"" ring out of black glass .

and I came up with a crazy idea that I think will work out great.
I used a stock fuel filler for the scupper outlet , and installed a check valve inside the hull ... my thinking on this is that its not a bad looking exterior piece that seals nicely to the hull and if I had to I could screw the gas cap on it and not have a scupper .

Genius! I have thought alot about having a closeable scupper setup, the only problem is that when you close it off, you will have the tube from firewall to gas cap full of water.

That is why you put a screw cap fitting on both ends!

I actually bought that one from a local farm supply store .

I think its a sump pump check valve ... I ll get you one if you want me too.
I think it was about $20

you want the zoeller one because it is much better made with metal backing on the rubber valve.

So where do you buy the zoeller valve? Looked all over the internet and can't locate one

Is that a 300 or a 300SX tank you're running in there? What size are they? Pricing on new ones is GREAT!

Killer! Those things are only $38 retail.
You wouldn't happen to know the capacity, would you?

I dont know for sure , if its stamped on the tank , its on the bottom , and it came with turf on the bottom of the tank ..

I would guess 4 gallon .

It fits great. shape of the tank to the bottom of the hull . I think I am going to run an exterior fuel fill right above the tank . So the gas cap will be under the handle pole. the tank location still leaves enough room for the battery in the stock SJ location.
