Thread: berkeley pump question

    the pump for my sleekcraft is a 12JC with an A impeller.... what mods, if any, can be done to put a droop snoot on this thing?

    Change the JC bowl to a JG bowl (they're interchangable)...the JG bowl is a split bowl so you can mount a droop on it.

    bigkev77 A lot more info here about your boat (as much as you can provide) would help everyone but... its been our experience that Older Sleeks with thier bottom design don't seem to respond well to droops(which in your case would require a bowl change). Trim Diverters are a huge help however... Post up more and the guys can help you Tom

    Don't mean to jack a thread, but would a droop on a '73 18' Sleekcraft help either?

    Hey Tom would a hull like this possibly benefit from a droop? It's around 500hp and a Jacuzzi B impeller

    well here she is... got a lot of work ahead of me, but its all gonna be worth it!
    the sticker is a little faded, but on the left rear corner of the transom is the original dealer sticker. still tryin to figure a way to keep that on the boat and restore that too.
