My pick would be pictures 111 & 333. I am not familiar with your boat and whether the droop would help or not. The blue anodized ring is a replacable nozzle which can used to vary the id for tuning purposes.

Just what is the droop designed for....the boat looks like a 85-90 eliminator open bow.....catalina wasnt building small boats for very long,mostly big salt water boats... |

I'm assuming those are the pictures of both pumps. If so, then the JC has had it's bowl switched out to a split bowl style. Either one of those pumps will do you just fine so I'd go with the one that needs the least amount of work.

12JC-a is currently on my boat.And yes they guy i bought it from just had a place diverter installed.I dont know what split style means is there any reason that 12JG-a would be better for my boat ,droop ,aluminum inducer,the reverse mechanism,etc....They both have diffrent reverse set ups,when JC is in reverse it redirects backward,when JG is in forward it closes a little flap at the bottom of reverse,thus when in reverse the flap opens back up.Also i one newer than the other,can you tell by the model #? anyways thanks again for all your help .....

here's your jg
and here's a jc
if you look closely, the jc is a single piece bowl whereas the jg has bolts thus the split bowl. Split bowl pumps allow for bolt ons such as the droop or a straight snoot. If you do a search for "droop", you will find a couple of pretty good threads in regards to what they do.
Nice looking boat! |
