    Jet Boats vs Prop Drive

    I have just started boating this summer. I resurrected a 1997 Larson Flyer that had been very poorly cared for. The boat has a 4.3 Volvo I/O. What I'm wondering, is why are I/O prop drives so much more prevalent than jet drive boats. It seems to me, at least here in MN, that a jet drive has...

    Norcross Hawkeye in Dash Depth Sounder Problems

    Anyone running a Hawkeye indash(HawkEye D10DX.01T In-Dash) depth sounder on my 1997 Larson Flyer I/O. I just purchased one(reviews were great), and the water and air temp are working, but I cannot get it to give me depth readings. I've spent the last three weekends adjusting the transom...

    Anyone have any ideas for me as to where I should start looking for a used aluminum windshield and frame for a mid to late 90's Larson run about? I've been watching eBay and Craigslist with no luck. Thanks, Cory

    1997 Volvo 4.3 gs No Powervalve??

    Does anyone know why the carburator on the 4.3gs does not use a powervalve? The engine number is 4.3PLKD. I'm working on trying to solve a very fuel thirsty motor, and wondering if not having a powervalve could be a reason for more fuel consumption. Thanks, Cory

    Volvo 4.3 Fuel Consumption

    I have a 1997 Larson Flyer 176 with a Volvo 4.3gs 43PLKD setup. I am new to boating, and I've had the boat out about 4 times this year, and the fuel consumption seems extreme. I was on the water for about 1.5 hours cruising at about 3000 rpm easy on the throttle, and I pulled a two person tube...

    1997 Volvo 4.3GS 4.3PLKD Trim Gauge Pegged at the top

    I am still working on this same project boat, and my latest test has been that the trim gauge is pegged all the way to the top. My automotive knowledge tells me that its a wiring problem, but will the sender itself cause this? I have taken a quick look through the wiring diagrams in my SELOC...

    1997 Larson Flyer Volvo 4.3 gs Fuel Pump Question

    Are there any safety switches or mechanisms that allow the fuel pump relay to kick on? The relay has power to it, but it's not kicking any power through to the fuel pump. If I jump the connection on the relay plug the pump runs. Also, I have one wire(purple i think) down by the starter with...

    1997 Volvo 4.3 gs Fuel Pump

    I'm looking for a fuel pump for my 1997 Volvo 4.3 gs. Is there any way to find the part number so I can order a pump. If I had the number I could cross reference it to another brand. My parent own an Auto Value, and they can get about any part, but we have no way of looking them up. Thanks, Cory

    Convert from Carb to TBI on Volvo 4.3

    I just purchased a 1997 Larson 176 Flyer with a Volvo 4.3 I/O. I knew it had a bad motor, but the previous owner failed to tell me that it hadn't been winterized. So, what I'm dealing with a bunch of cracked hard parts. The intake is cracked, and my options are... ? Replace with a used stock...
