Can you find a generic Catch Can at a cheaper price? Yes. Does it come with the proper hardware, detailed instructions, and available support needed to install it on a 1.8? No.

Everyone is different, and some prefer to spend a few extra dollars to have an easy install versus the headache of trying to make things work on the fly. Some may not even have the know-how to do so either. Food for thought.

Fair enough, like I said that was just my opinion. Best of luck to ya

 

[jetboatsupply]

It comes with the necessary hose, and clamps. I may be ordering 2

Detailed instructions and support if needed as well

Good luck with your company!

Regarding the catch can, I've not heard of this before. Care to share more on why you would need to use this?

Thank you!

Sure can. Catch Cans are quite big in the general automotive community and especially with those that build high-performance racing engines. All engines, regardless of being brand new or not, experience blow-by. Blow-by is known as the gasses that build up in the crankcase produced as a result of combustion. The amount of blow-by experienced varies between new and older engines as well as supercharged and naturally aspirated engines. This gas needs to be removed from the crankcase due to pressure build-up, so manufacturers add breathers to the crankcase to vent them out. Most of the time, and in the case of the Yamaha 1.8, the breather connects to a nipple on the air intake. So why is this a problem? Well, blow-by contains oil vapor that robs performance over time due to fuel degradation and coats your air intake duct/throttle body with oil residue. Our Catch Can Kit will "catch" this oil vapor and allow you to be able to empty it out rather than letting it get into your engine.

I was inspired to create a kit for our jet boats after 1. Cleaning my air intake duct/throttle body after 200 hours and witnessing how much oil residue was in it and 2. Learning that nobody else sells one specifically for our jet boats. I run this kit in my personal boat and have already caught a good bit of oil within 20 engine hours of installing it (see attached picture).

Is the can open, or is there a screen to assist in the oil capture?

There is a filter housing that is filled with coarse stainless mesh to extract the oil from the vapor. Attached some pictures for you.

Thats what I was wondering. Commercial vehicles with air brakes have air dryers with the same type of stainless steel screen to extract oil and moisture from the system. Good info. So contrary to what one member quoted earlier, these do in fact fit the newer 1.8 engines.

I didn’t know that, that’s pretty cool. Learn something new everyday.

Indeed they do as this kit was actually developed for newer 1.8’s specifically.

Here’s the screen I was telling you about

Just ordered the flush valve, looks like a cool piece of equipment that you don’t have to be jumping off the boat all the time to turn off the water hose.

Jet Boat Supply are here in the central Florida area. Let’s help support our small businesses. Got my piece delivered to my door after ordering just this morning. Talk about customer service.

That valve is a tow valve, but yes, can be used as a flush vslve. I ordered 2 myself.

Thank you for the kind words, it was great to meet you. I hope you enjoy using it!

We offer two types of valves currently: tow valve to keep water from getting in the engine while towing and the flush valve to prevent you from having to get off your boat after starting it to turn your hose on when flushing

Got it...hopefully I ordered the tow valves! Lol

No worries you ordered the ones you intended for lol. Looks like they will be delivered this Saturday the 22nd.

 

[RobbieO]

Thanks!

 

[jetboatsupply]

Thanks!

Looks like the post office failed us They should hopefully get it to you tomorrow!

 

[RobbieO]

Congrats they all come with the necessary clamps and a hose cost next to nothing. You don't even have SVHO engines so your input is invalid

Not to be a dick, but these were introduced as new for the 1.8 engines.

 

[RobbieO]

@jetboatsupply Got my order today and I like the trash bag hangers. I'm not sure if I'm going to use the tow valves. I was expecting the internal valve to be a metal ball valve, it's not. I can't take the chance that the internal plastic mechanism won't fail under pressure. I'm going to opt for some stainless steel ball valves. I'll use these in my flush lines instead. Also, you may want to include stainless steel clamps with the valves.

Not to be a dick, but why would you need a catch can for a N/A 1.8 engine. Serious question
