How a Berkeley Jet-O-Vator Operates and Functions

- If your running a Berkeley Jet-O-Vater in your classic Jet Boat, this video is just for you. Whether you need to make repairs, install a new unit, make adjustments, or are just curious about how the unit functions, this video will provide the information you need. In one of my recent videos, I compared the differences between the Berkeley Jet-O-Vater and the Place Diverter. In that video, I did not go into much detail on how the Berkeley unit functions. I felt there was too much to cover on how these operate, so I wanted to make that topic a separate video. The Berkeley Jet-O-Vater is unique in the way it works in conjunction with the steering cable and transom cover. In this video, I go into much more detail on exactly how the Berkeley Jet-O-Vater is set up and operates. So if you need to understand how they function, how to set one up, or make adjustments to the unit in your jet boat, you are in the right place. I also cover the electric motor replacement and how to address a failing trim gauge sending unit on the control box. Plenty of these Berkely Jet O Vaters are still in use. Still, more good information is needed to support the people using them.

About AutoTechNick:
Growing up in rural Oregon I was always around Hot Rods & Race Cars. I imagine my early exposure to this culture ignited a spark of interest in cars, which remains my passion to this day.
🎓 I am a proud Alumni of Wyoming Technical Institute, where I studied Automotive Technology, Performance Engine Building & Street Rod Fabrication. In addition to “Wyo Tech”, I graduated from the BMW Service Technician Education Program. More commonly known as BMW S.T.E.P.
🏎️ I spent nearly 10 years working in various BMW dealerships as a Master Technician. After a move back home to the PNW I found myself no longer servicing German-made machines, but now working with Italians. I spent nearly another 10 years as a Ferrari Master Technician, & Shop Foreman at a local Ferrari dealership.
🏆 I was selected by Ferrari as one of 12 technicians worldwide to compete in the “Ferrari Testa Rossa Awards”, consecutively for 4 years in a row. Finishing in 3rd place in 2016, & in 2019 I was able to place in 1st. Winning the competition & earning the title of the Top Ferrari Technician in the world!
🚀 As my time with Ferrari came to an end, a new career path awaited me…. Aerospace. I am currently working at Blue Origin, helping to build & develop the BE-3PM and BE-3U rocket engines.
With my new career path, I needed an outlet for my automotive passion, thus the reason for this channel…
Great explanation! Makes me glad I have a hydraulic Place Diverter though!
The Place Diverter is far less complicated that’s for sure!
~ Nick
how do i find one of those hydraulic ones??
@@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!!
I am glad to hear that it was helpful for you!
~ Nick
Lots of information there. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
~ Nick
Thanks for the video! Helpful as always.
still have a long way to go on my Hawaiian 21ft, jet ! look at all your video`s thanks!
This job is definitely not for the faint of heart!!
How far along are you with the Hawaiian?
~ Nick
Great video!
Thank you!
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
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!!
@@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!!
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 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....
Berkely sells very limited new parts for these jet-o-vators. Your best bet is to find a used one.

What do you know about the Berkeley JE pump? I have a JE with a hydraulic place diverter.
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
I’m 12 minutes in and this makes sense so much you showing the function.
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
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.
