I cracked my block over the winter. It took me until the end of summer to get it fixed. I ended up get a new long block intake/exhaust manifold started and a carb rebuild. I am relatively new to boats and I have never ran a new moter. My question is with all that work done shouldn't it start up...
Okey this was my first winter as a boater. I did all the steps of winterization before the winter. Now it is spring I started the boat it ran just fine. My problem is after I ran it for about 10-15 I checked the dip stick and found water. My question is I store it outside and the cover I found...
I have a volvo penta 3.0 gs it starts and runs fine out of the water. But the last time i took it out the starter would not turn over. No clicks no nothing i had to hold the key for about 5 sec to get it to turn over. So i took it home and it starts just fine on muffs and running with a tub of...
I have a Volvo penta GS and my volts jump around on me. I have had the battery checked and the alternator With no luck. When I have it running I'm at about 13 sometimes 13.5 volts. but then it will drop randomly with nothing turned on. it comes back up and just repeats its self. But then when I...

I have a Volvo penta 3.0 GS mwtr and the penta xs out drive. I need to know what spark plugs I need to use I got NGK 3623. The guy at west Marine told me to get them but unless I'm wrong NGK is for imports and mine is a GMC block. Also the gap on each one was way off the .045 the book told me...
