Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration: Launch Day 2

http://almarinemeteor.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration. Wednesday, 24 February 2010. More photos from first run. I didn't fiddle with the engine settings so can go quite a bit leaner on the fuel mix and also dial in some more advance timing on the MSD ignition. I ran a conservative map at 20degrees advance ignition timing out of an estimated maximum 25 degrees. Standard igntion timing is fixed at 18degrees /- 2 degrees. Aim for the middle of the lake! Click photo to enlarge). Britannia rules the waves! 5 July 2011 at 12:29.

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration: January 2010

http://almarinemeteor.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration. Monday, 25 January 2010. Dashboard - Fitting an extra Volts gauge. The standard boat only had a water temp gauge to keep an eye on the engine temps. Because I had fitted a total loss ignition system (i.e. a system that pulls power directly from the battery, rather than the ignition systems own charging system, as was the case for the original engine) I wanted to fit an extra gauge to measure the voltage of the battery. Drilling a new hole for the water temp gauge.

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration: August 2010

http://almarinemeteor.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration. Tuesday, 31 August 2010. Jet Unit - Part 2. After the first test run of the boat, the jet unit was removed and inspected. The rear impeller boss had sheared off the shaft resulting in the rear impeller not turning which could explain the lack in performance towards the end of the day! Rear impeller boss sheared (broken piece visible in stator tunnel). Click image to enlarge). Complete shaft assembly (thrust bearing and UJ coupling at front). Click image to enlarge).

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration. Thursday, 18 August 2011. Monday, 15 August 2011. Jet Unit - Part 3. A free weekend gave me time to assemble and fit the jet unit with help from a friend. I started by assembling the thrust bearing with a new bearing and new seals (part numbers in earlier post). I then fitted this to the new Duplex Steel shaft having packed the bearing with grease.

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration: Painting the Engine Bay

Almarine Meteor Jetboat Restoration. Tuesday, 3 July 2012. Painting the Engine Bay. With the engine restored and repainted, the engine bay now looked very tired in comparison, so following a good attacking with the degreaser and a wire wheel, it was painted with POR-15 which sets rock hard and provides a waterproof, fuel-proof barrier.
