Engines ready to be returned for rebuild.

There is a company that rebuilds seadoo engines. They will send you a rebuild engine and then you send them back a broken engine. I needed to re-assemble the two engines, before I could order the rebuild engines. I'm not going to order the new engines until I make sure I can fix everything else that is broken on the boat.

Back to the boat.

Now that Christmas is over I can get started fixing the boat. The boat had been taken apart by a dealer in Maine, and all I got were assorted parts. This boat is a jet boat, and it has two has two jet pumps. One of the pumps was cracked. I found a replacement pump on eBay, and that pump arrived this week. The next step will be to rebuild the pumps and send out the impellers to have the dents cleaned up.



You can see the crack in the pump on the left. With three pumps I should have enough parts to get two of them working.

The next issue to work on is the wires from the engines. Instead of disconnecting the wires, the dealer just cut the wires. I will need to rebuild wire, because this part is no longer available. Also because there are two motor, I will need two and it will be cheaper to build them. It should not be hard, I just need to find the right size wire, and water-proof connectors.
