New pacific 22

roohairy · 08 May 2004, 22:01

Well it's new to me! I've splashed out and bought hull no. 9506, and a load of bits to make it go again.... someday! Will probably be asking you folks for help once I get started, but will take a while - have paid for hard standing for 12 months!

Top bloke, thats a newish hull too. Keep the pics coming as you do it, shout if you have a problem, sure someone will help.

Already planning it, and yes I've read THAT thread! Joking apart, should be helpful.

Re thread on The Jackeens posting - Loved the story about the one that fell of the back of a destroyer, beats fell off the back of a lorry any day !

Where is the boat based? I'm just the other side of southampton and if you need any hot tips on where to find bits etc let me know. Des

Good luck with the project mate, you have an excellent hull there........always think that is half the battle!

If you are looking for a custom console, let me know, my partner, Henry, is a wizard at this sort of thing! (Especially ocean/doubles)

Scary Des - Boat is now in Hull after a mad 18 hour session in a truck! Thanks for your offers about finding bits, I'm missing a lot. This is what I have and most of what I need:

Hull, recon leg, mermaid engine (need pacific engine feet and water injection elbow) propshaft, trim motor. I need a helm pump, and some tubes and any other bits that anyone wants to get rid of!! Thinking of going straight to a new console as the MOD in their wisdom stripped mine with a pair of bolt cutters!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help,

Scary Des · 17 May 2004, 14:35

http://www.rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4564 try this for tubes.

The original helm pump is a Wagner 701G available from Wagner Engineering ltd on Tel 01342 313437, the original mounts were made by Silentbloc p/n me12339. Des

Oh yes the feet seems to be made by Mermaid, Des

The trim pump is £600 from Lancing, but I have seen a very similar one in a hydraulic specialist in Pompey so there might be hope yet.

You could try Jamie for some bits, he is selling a P24 on boats and outboards at the moment and has a collection of widgets.

Do you need a stern drive manual ? I am splashing them for owners at the mo.

Smiths ind. have now become SPX FLUID POWER i'll find there new number

Make the AUTOPACK that Lancing provide, and Pete is right you can get this much cheaper elsewhere. Des

I 've got a price of £170 (€254 it's in Germany)+del that goes to show the mark up on some of this stuff. Des

All - I have got a trim pump from Jamie, it's a mercruiser one and I found most of the hoses in the bilges. While we're on the subject, are the two trim rams just connected with a T? Afraid I really haven't had any time to do anything to her yet, I'm trying to move house!

Pete7 - yes please would love a manual, what format is it? Could swap you for velvetdrive 71 / 72 PDF if you want it.

Neville · 19 May 2004, 23:28

the hoses are in a tee configuration. on the mercruiser pump they use american SAE type hydraulic fittings, which should still be on your hose if it is the original hose in the boat.

normally the pac 22 use the 24volt pump which has six wires. as i remember your mercruiser pump will have 3 wires. make sure the cable is heavy enough from the solenoid as it will draw a bit more amps being half the voltage....

on some of the later victoria marine boats they were a 3 wire model so you could use the same circuit.

roohairy · 20 May 2004, 09:56

Neville,

The MOD did so much damage when they stipped out the boat that the wiring is useless, everything disconnected at both ends with wire cutters so I will be rewiring it at 12 Volt, also the engine I have is a 12 volt engine.

Neville · 20 May 2004, 13:00

The standard wiring is a bit ott for a civilian application so it probably isnt the end of the world having to rewire it. Besides that, everything is easier and sometimes cheaper to obtain in 12 volt, from console gauges, lights , pumps etc.

The only drawback with 12 volt is starting, its a fairly big engine and the 24 volt starter does spin them over quite well. Thats why alot of trucks are 24 volts. Ill let you know where i get VDO gauges from, he is on the net and gives a really good deal. Ill remember later.

Roohairy, the manual is in A4 photocopy format, drop me a pm with your new address and I will run a copy off for you at work early next week.
