Guys I need a little help here!

[nothingbutwake]

I am having a issue with the Aluminum water jacket I got off OSE for my 2215 2Y Neu 750KV. I am even thinking of replacing the retaining screws that hold the top of the end bell casing in place. To a counter sunk set screw or even a 1 mm grub. Or should I just file them down? Issue is the gasket is not clearing the fan unit openings.
This is the newer Neu built 2/12/2009 with the cooling fan incorporated into it. This is for my 40" insane cat I just bought off TXboatpilot. take a look at the pics is there any other advice you can offer me on getting this jacket to fit properly so the top segment with the fan is completely free of the cooling jacket. These are the new aluminum jackets steve has brought in specifically for these BAM Neu's series. Your guys advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Dave........ Nothingbutwake

Hey Dave,

Just remove the screws on the motor, one end at a time. Slide the jacket into place with one end of the jacket assembled,, Lube the orings with oil or grease,, then put the other oring into place and finish assembling the jacket,, then put the screws back in the motor.. It should go on very smooth.

Looks like you bought the wrong jacket.
This is the item you bought.

It only fits the old style motors.

Thanks Richard I was able to get it to work just fine after your advice. I removed the front end bell housing and was able to reattach after it was in the waterjacket. I ran water feed through the jacket to check the system for leaks on the O rings and everything is tight as a drum lol. Dave

Now all I have to do is reverse the shaft backwards 3/4" so it will line up with the motor mount any suggestions on this guys. Thanks Dave......... Nothingbutwake

Post a picture of the motor with the coupler attached.. I want to see if the shaft on the motor is as long as mine was.. I had to cut off some of my shaft and shorten it up,, to get everything to fit properly. Just tape up the whole motor so you dont get any shavings inside!!

Keep in mind the fins on the newest Neu 2215 can are larger in diameter. This reduces the flow on water in that jacket.

Steven,,
No big deal on this setup,,, My 2215/2Y in this hull ran over 60mph and never got over 105-108 deg. with cooling jacket,,, and 120-125deg with no cooling jacket...


Dave,,
Or you could order the "CORRECT" jacket from Steven,, and give me this jacket with the 2215/1Y that is the older style??

Here we go . The shaft is pushed forward 2 1/4 inches past the front end bell . I think your right I may have to take 3/4 inch off . I don't think the shafts on these can motors can be moved back as easily like an outrunner can.

I can always grind the fins down for better water flow. When I tested the jacket for leaks the flow was pretty good coming out of it. There didn't seem to be any impediment in the water flow as far as I could see. Dave

Yea,, same as mine was... Just measure the distance needed and cut that off the end of the shaft.. Leave room for the thrust bearing..

Dont grind on that PRETTY LITTLE LADY! Just leave her be, and it will work fine!
