How do i properly check the oil in my DP-C1. Took it to a boat shop and they filled it. Ran it one weekend and figured id check it out. Its not on the dip stick at all. But if you read the manual they say to fill it to the fill plug.
So should i add more oil untill its on the dip stick?
So i bought a 22' Celebrity and it came with a Bimini cover. It has a rubber seal on the edge that is supposed to clip into the front window to make a seal for wind i guess. This rubber is dry rotted, is this something that i can get replaced? Where can i buy it?
Sounds like volvo set base timing around 10 degrees. On these motors. Which is what Ford did on them back in the 90's as well. I had a 93 Bronco that had a 5.8 in it and I took the timing from 10 to 18 with no pre ignition or knock. It made a huge difference in power. So much so that it ran...
I have a 95 Celebrity with a Vision 2000 wind screen. The middle glass folds over so you can walk through and it lays on the passenger side screen like most boats. My middle screen has become opaque where it has rubbed for years on the other screen. Can these be polished to be clear again...
What other lower gear cases work with my DP-C1. I might be better off buying a used lower to get me floating again. My local shop quoted me 2500 for the 3 gears that are bad in mine. That was the parts only, they couldnt find them cheaper anywhere. So im going to try to see what a Volvo dealer...
I went to replace my lower seals and when i pulled the Carrier out, i noticed my forward/reverse gears have chipped teeth. What could cause this? Is it normal? Obviously they will have to be replaced. The boat didn't have any symptoms or noises.
Thank you
Okay heres the skinny.
1) Wanting more Top Speed
2) Volvo stock Duo prop Aluminum
3) 21p i believe
4) WOT was showing 4900 RPM and GPS was 45 mph
5) 1995 Volvo Penta 5.8l 235 hp i believe
6) Celebrity 210
I was thinking i probably could get away with a more agressive prop. Volvo recomends...
So the starter sometimes works fine, others i have to cycle the key many times to get it to turn the motor over. Im assuming a bad solonoid or dead spot on the starter windings. Are the marine starters the same as a truck?
Thank you,

Could over filling a DP-C1 with oil cause it to shift hard from foward to reverse. I thought maybe my cable was going bad, but tonight i noticed that the unit is indeed over filled. Im probably 1/4" above the max oil level line.
I have been setting up my boats trim control module and sender from scratch. And i have a few questions.
- Does the angle that the DP-C1 drives (5 degrees) only mean that far above zero for max tilt before hitting beach range? In other words that is the max angle that the boat should run at top...
Okay well since my last few threads, i have made some progress. I have got the gauge to work with the trim button. Right now my cut off for trim is set at the bottom of the range instead of the top. I have tried adjusting the screw on the black control module, but it doesnt have enough range...
has anyone ever came across this? I have to cut the wood transom to clear the sensor to remove it from the hole I can lift it about 1/2-3/4" but still cant get it out.
How do you properly test to see if your trim sender is bad? I read about doing the 2 wire conversion as well. Is that necessary? How do you do it?
Thank you,
I just changed my lower unit oil on my DP-C1. I have only had the boat for a month and have had it on the water 1 time for 2 hours or so. I checked the Ujoint bellows and there was a little oil in the bottom of it. I talked to a local boat mechanic and they said obviously the seals need...
