I have a Volvo 290 outdrive. During de-winterization I noticed the steering was difficult. I disconnected the linkage and noticed it was definately hard to turn the outdrive manually. So I tried to put grease into the fitting at the pivot point, but the grease wont go in!! I know for sure it...
I have a chronic problem with my starter motor rusting up. The pinion gear becomes rusted to the armature and my solenoid isnt able to engage it. I took it out 2 times and greased the heck out of it and it still freezes up. Is it possible in any way for salt water to get into the bell...
Hi guys, I have an AQAD41A and I am losing anti freeze, but I did not see it in the oil when I drained it for winterization. I looked around the whole motor while it was running and didnt see any obvious leaks. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I have a 1989 AQAD41A Volvo Turbo Diesel. I have noticed that when I remove the air filter, the motor runs so much better and faster. The turbo really winds out the way it is supposed to. It just seems like the air filter is so restrictive.
The only concern I have about running it without...
I have been noticing a reduction in performance with my diesel and i suspect a few causes. I think i may have a too high of pitch wheel and im sure there is some growth on the bottom. Also the diesel fuel in my tank is from last season. However, I have also noticed that I dont hear as high as...
I just got a replacement sea water pump for my AQAD41A diesel and I see some grease on the shaft, but I don't see any visible grease on the bearing. I'm just wondering if they put grease on the bearings in the factory. I wouldnt imagine you'd have to take it apart just to put grease in there...
I have an AQAD41A volvo diesel and my water pump has sprung a leak. I suspect that it is just the O-ring, but I am not sure how to take the pump apart. Do I need a hydraulic press to get the shaft out? Is there any other special tool needed, or can I just unbolt the pump from the engine and...
My sea water pump just started leaking recently and I guess I need to change the seals. I took out the impellar, but before I go any further, I thought I would seek some pointers. I know there are a lot of little parts and I'm not sure If I need a special tool to remove anything. Any advice...
I have a 200hp turbo Volvo Penta diesel and I have just sprung a leak in the sea water pump. It seems to be leaking from the shaft. The leak is from behind the impellar housing. Does anyone know if there is a seal in there or something? Do they normally wear out eventually? Just wanted to...
I know it's a 290 duo-prop, but somebody told me it's a DP-D1. What's that? The serial number of the outdrive is: 290060698
I'm wondering because i'm trying to find the right prop hardware set up for the drive. Thanks

First let me say that I have made many posts lately seeking help for various problems that this S.O.B. of an outdrive has been hitting me with and I appreciate all the help.
One more: My trim cylinders are leaking. I have run the drive up and down many times (in attempt to bleed system) and...
I have a volvo 290 outdrive and im trying to install A5 props. I know the larger 3 blade goes on first, but when I tighten on the "nut" after the first prop, it makes the prop not spin easy. Am I missing a part or is it that I am tightening it too much?
Also, I have one of those "line cutters"...

I am desperately trying to bleed a seemingly endless amount of air out of my trim hydraulic system. I have been reading past posts and already made one myself, but I havnt found any definite answers. I have the old style pump with the resevoir inside it and the filler cap on side. I had the...
