Volvo 5.7 Gi Mpi - SX

[Cacciotti]

Hi All,

I have a noise in the out drive. I the driveway I can hear a noise in the out drive at slow speed turning more when it is trimmed up a bit. Is there a problem with the gimble bearing? Does it need greasing every year? If so how and where

Second: Where is the water pump in the out drive? Is there a impeller that I need to replace?

Thanks for any help

The water pump is on the engine. It is either driven bt a belt or it mounts on the crankshaft but that depends on your year.

As far as the noise, that sounds more like u-joints. You should be pulling your drive every year to inspect the u-joints and the gimbal bearing, greasing them, checking drive alignment and seeing if there is any water intrusion in the bellows.

I could direct you to some manual downloads if you were to post either the FULL model number, or Volvo serial number of your engine.
You can also go to the link below and download the owners manual for your specific engine.

SX drives do seem to have a whine or whir when turned left or right..I have had the same issue twice..checked it our both times and everything was ok....With that said check it out closely there expensive drives..

Will do. I know motors real well. Here is a link to one of my business.

www.allpontiac.com

My business partner sold me this boat new (Ebbtide 23' Bow rider) and love it.


Nice site. I would love to put in one of our 900 Hp. pump gas motors in it, but like one of the members stated ( site back and cruise and enjoy the boat as is. Going fast all the time is not everything.)
