I want to buy a can of the SEM Marine Vinyl Coat to spray over some of the aged white/off-white upholstery in my 04 Horizon 180. Does anyone know which shade is correct or closest? They have a Carver White, SeaRay Mystic White, Ranger White, and Ranger Off-White. I am assuming one of these...
I have a Volvo Penta SX .4.3 GL and ran into a problem while aligning the engine using an alignment shaft. The adjuster nut on the right motor mount was frozen and I could not get it loose. I hoisted the front of the motor up about two inches to gain clearance and took out the motor mount so I...
I am trying to put a 2012 4.3 truck motor in a 2004 boat and there is an issue with the harmonic balancer. The 2008 and up 4.3s have a different timing chain cover which sticks out more and the 2004 harmonic balancer and hits the timing mark tab, crank position sensor, and possibly the front...
I have an 04 Four Winns with 4.3 GL Volvo Penta engine with bad oil pressure. I want to replace it with a junk yard 4.3 chevy truck engine but the only ones available with low miles are the 07 and newer distributorless version engines. Can I use one of these long blocks (short block and heads)...

I have an 04 Four Winns Freedom 180 43 V6 with rotted motor mounts. In this boat the motor mounts seem to be just 2"x4" 12" long on the short sides as shown in the attached pic. Below the small motor mount cavity on each side there seems to be separate chambers/cavities that appear to be...
Hello, I have a 2004 Four Winns with a 4.3 Volvo SX-M that has a trim fluid leak. I bought the boat knowing it had an overheating issue and I ended up replacing the engine. I get the new engine completely installed and running and then decide to figure out why the trim fluid tank was very low...
I bought an 04 Four Winns Freedom 180 4.3 and the bilge blower and ducting is missing. If anyone had this or a similar boat can you please describe where the blower is mounted and how the ducts are run. I could wing it but would like to mount them like factory. Thanks
