Had to make a makeshift work area under the carport so work could get done instead of everything just piled up waiting for a nice day. Just like to finish working on the CJ need to finish the covering over it so it quits filling up with water from the rain.KONA said:did he run off?, maybe because from his list he made, I still see no progress on his boat, maybe his carport but not his boat crazy.gif think.gif

Devilman said:why do you have to modify the oil pan?
Duanehydro said:Why are you doing any of this?
ChryslerJet said:I would complain about all the rain but you seem to have cornered that market.
ChryslerJet said:Either need to pull the pan off the reverse rotation 360 which may not work right since it was in a direct drive boat set at an angle or I make/modify one that has enough oil capacity rather than the typical 5 quarts.
Dman thanks for the advise, its a truck rear sump pan so it probably would be fine in a jetboat then I was just concerned with running out of oil on a long high speed run like at BCR from the ramp to beach. 2 more quarts of oil would give the rest of the oil time to get back down there. I guess I will have to look at making sure the oil drains are good to go if i leave the stock pan. If I did modify it I have another pan here I was going to cut the sump from and weld it on to the front of the current sump to add the extra capacity.Devilman said:More oil capacity is no doubt a good thing, but nothing necessarily wrong with a 5 quart pan. That's whats on mine, front sump pan at that. Lots of boats had them. Not tryin to change your mind, just throwin it out there that oil pan modification may could get scratched off the list & you focus that time/energy elsewhere.

Do you have a high Volume oil pump on your engine with the 5 quart pan?
Its getting close If I can get a good weekend it just might happen. Probably not this weekend as I am working all weekend but I will find the time.Patchman said:What we really want to see is the cap back on the boat! :smile30:

KONA said:no boat, no need for a motor, Kona thinks CJ has bit off more than he can chew :laugh:
blazeracer said:Seems to me you're just a project collector. I'll bet not one ever gets done. Recommendation. Sell all your junk and get one nice running boat so you can spend this summer at the lake, not behind a keyboard.
Be like Nike, "Just Do It".
