Just sent an email with the casting numbers off my parts. I thought the yoke was interchangeable just rotate 180 but you are right they are different castings so that the logo flange is always on top.

So maybe I am still a player for the nozz housing if the castings are the same number but yeah my yoke is not the same.

Guys if you dont mind checking...My part number is L-5049 If you open the reverse gate the nozzel measures 8 1/2 inches at the longest point.....The bell part of the nozzel that goes in the bowl is 5 1/4 OD...Stevecat where your mounting arms connect to the nozzel looks to be blended into the reverse port....Mine is not like that..Mine are just coming out of the center of the nozzel..Yours might be stronger tho if all measurments were the same.........I know I am being trouble but if I buy from you guys and it dont fit I be back to square 1....Thanks for the help from you both....

Guys I think we are typing the same thoughts..

Stevecat I ordered that actuator off internet.I think it was like 116 dollars..I had to go inside it and change the limit switches which was a real pain but it can be done.had to swap the poteniometor so it would match the ohms of a marine trim gauge..I think the pot was 10-15 dollars..

So I am guessing the actuator had "fixed" switches and your travel had to be different so you went in and altered their positions to work better with your travel? Or was it an "adjustable" lim switch version that is just a PITA to adjust?

My nozz housing casting number is the same and it measures 8.5. 5.13+ on the bell OD without O-ring. I can strip off the other parts and shoot another pic if you need it. I agree there seem to be subtle differences in the shape of the arm ends - maybe big deal maybe not - different guys on the casting grinders on different days?

PRICE WAR!!!!

The limit switches are fixed.....Once you sit it down and study it their not that bad to move.It just took patience and careful..You got to change them because the stork is about 3/4 inch to much..It will break your cable or pull it loose...I drilled and taped the hole in the end to screw the cable in..I may can find where I bought it from..

**455maveric** · 08-07-2009, 02:11 PM

no i will use mine on my boat i just went out and started to fit it to a droop snoot i hope you can help him out realy

**AlabamaRebel** · 08-07-2009, 02:19 PM

I dont want a WAR............LOL................just as good a price as I can get.....We need to figure about 30 for ups ...how fast you guys would have time to ship out..

**stevecat** · 08-07-2009, 02:24 PM

It is noon here in Stumptown so I can EZ make the UPS store b4 their jet flys out tonight. I'm going to send you one more pic. I just noticed there are two small tapped holes where I had a lockout bracket rigged up. I want to make sure you are OK with them. They are down on the reverser snoot area and IMO not a big deal.

**455maveric** · 08-07-2009, 03:03 PM

stevecat will yours work for him i am hoping it will due to i would have to wait till i could get the money in my bank due to have 0 money to ship it to him

**455maveric** · 08-07-2009, 03:26 PM

you know you could have them welded back on that would get you back on the watter this weekend

**AlabamaRebel** · 08-07-2009, 05:03 PM

Thanks for the concern Maveric..I have never had much luck welding that old pot metal..If it were aluminum it would be fixed and back on today.We got a high freq at work..I got a V8 Bennington tritoon to do the weekend ,this old jet is just for that sudden urge for a adrenalin rush you know..quick Thrill.........Gas to high for a all day run in that blo54..

**455maveric** · 08-07-2009, 05:35 PM
