    5.0 GXi Decal

    I'm looking for a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi decal part #3861830. It's discontinued. I'm hoping to find new old stock. I would also consider an aftermarket decal or having one custom made. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I appreciate your encouragement and suggestions. I've never had much faith in my compression tester. I've used it when buying boats and had sellers tell me that they, and other potential buyers, have had higher results. Once I was on my way to buy a boat, and realized I'd forgotten my gauge. So...

    Honestly, I've never rebuilt a motor or even replaced a head gasket. Pulling a motor apart intimidates me.

    Yes, we know the compression is low. From what I can gather a 2-stroke of this age should be between 90-120. We know this. My point isn't that it's fine and dandy at 70. My point is that a motor with 70 can still produce power if everything else is working well. Which is why I want to address...

    Except that it does idle. Not perfectly but it idles. This is how it ran on the hose just before the 2nd water test. https://drive.google.com/file/d/17QG5khdvtn90HZ74rEDhZVJq2G7OQmFj/view?usp=drive_link Mine is almost the polar opposite. About 800 rpm on the hose. But I have to adjust it al...

    Thank you for your reply. It idles fine right now with compression that low.... on the hose. In the water not so much. But if you crank up the idle screw it will idle in the water too. I have video of both. The short term problem we're try to solve is bogging and stalling when throttling up on...

    That's a fair criticism. It probably seems like we're just throwing parts at the problem. But that's not the case. When troubleshooting an unknown issue, I always start with the basic three; spark, compression and fuel. But initially, this was not an unknown problem. I was told from the start...

    Full Narrative I’m trying to help out a friend with his outboard. Nearly every part has been replaced or rebuilt except the motor itself. But it still wont run right. It’s been to every local outboard shop and mobile mechanic that will work on it. Nobody’s been able to figure it out. We’re at...

    Chaparral Sundeck

    I found a Chaparral Owners Group on Facebook. With their help I was able to track down a Clarion head unit that's compatible with the two wired remotes. It took a lot of searching but that one is done. I also found a couple of boats for auction that had the sundeck I needed in decent shape. But...

    Chaparral Sundeck

    Thanks. I have some quotes for the custom upholstery and canvas work. I was just hoping to find the factory originals. Understood. I wasn't soliciting a sale, trade or swap. I was hoping someone might be able to suggest some resources to source these items like auction sites, salvage yards or...

    Chaparral Sundeck

    Also looking for the OEM bow and deck covers preferably in yellow. Also looking for the original faceplate or head unit for the Clarion stereo that shipped with the boat or any Clarion head unit that supports the helm and swim deck remotes.

    Chaparral Sundeck

    I'm looking for a sundeck for a 2006 or 2007 210 SSi. I have a 2007 so that is preferable but either year will fit. I know this is a shot in the dark since I haven't found a single salvage or parts boat for these model years.
