    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    Thanks for the response. I have a 2004 Chaparral 260ssi which came with the Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI-E Engine. The block is new though from Eagle Engine Sales. All the parts I used are from the Volvo Parts Store Parts Diagram. I get all my parts from Marysville Marine.

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    I cleaned them all with a wire brush. Like I said I put everything brand new and it's been an issue. So there has to be some misalignment issue and I think the laser tool proved that.

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    so what causes Runout? and how do you fix it? Just buy a new pulley. Or would it be best for me to just Buy a new Pulley and Power Steering Pump Assembly?

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    Got that laser alignment tool looks like my power steering pulley might need to go in some more. Is it adjustable? Also what would cause it to wobble the shaft that it's on?

    Bayliner 180 BR - 115hp Mercury Outboard - Plane issues

    I don't think the Bayliners have foam in the boat hull. will need to verify that. RPM Range for my engine is 5000-6000. So I thinking of going down to 17p or even 15p and test that so I can be at the higher range with just me in it. Therefore when I add passengers it should go down some.

    Yea it was. Electrical problems will always do that. I Hope now that this issue won't be as bad and hopefully just a simple plug to replace. although removing the engine isn't ideal lol.

    Water leaking from engine - 5.7 GXI-E

    Great Memory! Yes sir. It turns out that was a bad Ignition Coil and we found some loose ground wires as well. So It could of been a combination of booth causing the ignition to shut off while I was in motion. After I replaced that it ran like a champ all season.
