    Volvo Penta 8.1 GI-f & Fuel flow meters

    For those of you lost, this thread was removed as a reply to the following thread for who knows why. Background is YDEG for a 2006 Volvo Penta 8.1L Gi-F to display fuel flow. Anyone familiar with how to hook these devices up would be the target audience. Thanks...

    Volvo Penta 8.1 GI-f & Fuel flow meters

    @dingbat for some reason the other thread was closed. Here is the link to all the adapters for the different engine models I was talking about if you saw that message. My research leads me to believe I need the 10 pin, but was asking the OP because he has the EXACT engine I do and used a 10 pin...

    Volvo Penta 8.1 GI-f, Furuno Plotter & Fuel flow meters

    Theres an adapter for each engine model. The standard is a 6 pin, as you see in the pic, and the adapter is a 10 pin. There are several others available including an 8 pin, etc. My research led me to believe this engine was 10 pin, and the OP used a 10 pin allegedly on the same model. I could be...

    Volvo Penta 8.1 GI-f & Fuel flow meters

    I have a 2006 VP 8.1L Gi-F that I also bought the YDEG-04 for to show info on my chartplotter via NMEA 2000. I hooked it up to the engine via the 10 pin connecter but keep getting the red blink for the engine. It blinks green on the NMEA side, but no data from the engine. I've tried several...

    Ignition switch inop after mis-wiring oil px gauge

    Ok, so here is an odd one for you. Boat has run great for 3 weeks, with zero electrical issues ever. Gauges were worn so we decided to replace them. Wife was wiring the new oil px gauge back together and accidentally crossed wires. It should have two ground (black) on the center post, and two...

    Mercruiser 350 mpi horizon runs fine then surges and maintains idle.

    I have a Mercruiser 350 MPI Horizon (OM643971) that will run fantastic for over an hour and then start to surge power and go to idle. If power is left up it will continue to surge from idle to high power then settle on idle eventually. Shutting the engine off and letting it rest sometimes helps...

    Which belt do I need?

    Normally I am pretty good with this kind of thing, but every web site I try to order from has multiple choices for the serpentine belt on my engine. For example...

    1993 Maxum 2300 SCR

    Anyone know what the original prop pitch/dia were on this boat? Normal cruising rpms, speeds, and WOT speed? It had a 240hp V6 in it new, but now I have a 350 V8 in it want to compare to see what it got me. I did not own the boat with the old engine in it. Thanks Jimmy

    Fuel Pump problem?

    2003 Mercruiser 350 MPI Horizon OM643971 Bravo One outdrive OM185090 I recently reported a loss of power in another thread but since the swap over have been unable to locate that thread to add to it. The power loss was mainly a hole shot problem as the top end is about the same. Maybe 100-200...

    Mercruiser 350 Horizon MPI LOSS OF POWER

    Motor is brand new in 2003, Bravo drive, 23 pitch prop. <br /><br />Had the boat out twice last week on the bay and all way great. Took it to the lake Sat and it now seems as if it is running at about 3/4 throttle. My hole shot is crap. Takes 30 second to get on plane and once on plane I have...
