Full Stringer Southwind. Lots of pump work done. Might clean up real nice, might need a lot of work?

It?s a real PSI brand supercharger. It is probably a 206D. The website does not mention a 203D model.

Good eye! Yes, on this boat, they are upside down. Typically, they are flipped upright. Don?t know if it came that way or if the owner flipped them.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: 455 olds starter clicks but wont spin?
« on: March 24, 2023, 03:34:29 PM »
Take a screwdriver and jump the solenoid on the starter. The contacts inside the solenoid can corrode or simply wear out. If that doesn?t work, this is barbaric, I know, while the key is being turned to start tap the starter with a dead blow hammer. Sometimes the starter gets stuck in between the magnets. In my experience, if all parts are good, it?s a weak ground. Ground the motor and the starter with two different cables and make sure all of the contacts are clean.

The No Wake Zone / Buyer's Guide For First Time Jet Boat Owner
« on: March 17, 2023, 07:00:18 AM »
Southwinds are fantastic boats. They are light, quick and nimble. Something to look for is the stringer lifting, cracking delaminating. Most of those were quarter stringer boats. Big power takes its toll after 40+ years. Also, those hulls had a tendency to crack between the outside of the stringer and the gunnel, along the strake, in the back next to the motor. Easy fix. Either issue wouldn?t be a deal breaker.

WarZone / 455 Olds Refresh
« on: March 03, 2023, 06:22:12 PM »
Best of luck to you. My boat absolutely hauled ass after the pump was built right. Kind of funny regarding your Olds motor parts. If you need parts, shops and people charge top dollar. If you have parts, you practically have to give them away. I was never able to get my Olds to last. Went through 5 of them. I also was the guy that got your Hawaiian sold. It?s in a good home now. Has a new motor and lots of work done. My co worker bought it.

I had the same issue with my pump from that shop I won?t name. Not trying to start fires here. I really don?t care anymore. Here is my story. Spent a large sum of money for an energizer pump. Towed my boat all the way up there. Left it. Drive all the way back to get it. I really liked the family and the job they did. First run, the pump was ruined. Didn?t even run the boat hard. My friend has his newborn baby on-board. When I called the shop I was accused of running the pump dry for the cause of failure. My option given was to pull it out, ship it to him, then go from there. Something didn?t seem right so I had a different shop go through it instead. Upon disassembly discovered that my pump didn?t have the AT energizer kit. It had his knock off parts in it and was assembled with tolerances too tight. Could only re-use the impeller shaft after one run. That?s it. Also, the transition inside the suction was horrendous Jacuzzi YJ. It wasn?t filled or smoothed at all.

Junkyard digs did a show on a 455 Olds powered jet boat. They do a pretty good job of highlighting the usual areas on an Olds where water intrusion occurs. Also show what the fix is. I attached a YouTube link to that episode. Hope that helps.
