    Anti reverse lock - 290DP A2

    My reverse lock is engaged in both the forward and reverse gear and disengaged in neutral, is this the correct position? I was thinking when in forward gear it wouldn't be locked so when you hit something with the outdrive it would flip up and not put stress on any other parts or transom. What...

    Shift cable rubbing hole in bellows

    Discovered a hole in my u-joint bellows where the shift cable is coming in contact with it. The shift cable seems to be secure and in the proper position.

    Which replacement starter for Volvo?

    Kind of confused here....I removed the starter from my model# 57GSIPBYCCE and it has the "straight" bolt pattern. However, when I gave that # to Volvo they said I needed starter part# 3860764 which is an "offset" bolt pattern. From what I have read the straight bolt pattern was for the smaller...

    Threads stripped out on dipstick cover

    I guess I went one turn too far when screwing in the dipstick. Any suggestions other than ordering a new one,they are about $120.00. I'm thinking about tapping a larger hole and installing a plug for now but I noticed there is a hole in the threads on the cover that probably doesn't need to be...
