I recently flushed boat after a day of baiting (ran fine all day) and occasionally I will do a light. It's on engine to rinse since I boat in salt water. Last evening as I did it ( was still idling on muffs) it missed terribly after bout 30 seconds (post spray). If even stalled, was able to...

I have a 2 wire 1999 Volvo Penta SX trim pump that won't operate and I have isolated it to the ground I believe . If I ground the relays they operate and have good power into junction . The three wires from the helm switch work as they should . The problem is the way the boat is setup the...

I recently installed a new longblock SBC ( 5.7L) from large engine distributor ( center state) naps replacement for 5.0GL and it has about 5 hrs on it so no full throttle yet. I changed oil and cut part filter and all looked good. But for grins checked the compression when cold and it's all...
I recently pulled drive to remove engine ( cracked head that's another post) and found gear oil in the bellows. I read the manual and it speaks about a rolling torque 9-14 in-lb. I assume that's new bearings and I thought typically there was two value ranges, one for new parts and one for...
I have a vortex 5.0GL (carb) Volvo Penta and recently cracked a head. Has 1600 salt water hours so it time for new motor. Originally I was gonna buy a new long block from mega crate seller leading contender was center state ( it about 2.5hr north of me). But a local guy ( Anthony's marine) told...
I have a 99 5.0GL with a fair amount of time on it. (~1500 hrs). All salt water.

Boated with some people last weekend, easy cruise and then pulled kids on a tube and one time when I stopped to pickup kid heard a loud valve tap, was valve train speed and oil pressure was ok. Lifted hatch and tried to figure out what side it was (couldn't tell ). Figured see what it did and...
I changed oil tonight on y 1999 5.0GL (had about 35hrs on it) and when I unscrewed the bosch 3510 filter i dropped it in the bildge. I stuck finger in the hole to grab it and jabbed myself with a needle sliver of damaged thread. Filter was installed by hand and came off normally. I checked...
1999 volvo penta 5.0GL. Yesterday running at speed I heard a rattle (music was loud so took a minute to pick it up) Throttled down and rattle was coming from circulation pump and engine quickly got hot. My theory is at speed the raw water forced it thru like a cross over. Anyhow, took it part...
I live in Tampa area and Looking for something different I was thinking about trailering boat down to fort Meyers and staying at resort with dock but unsure if there are any ramps besides salty Sams. I was in the area (sans boat) over weekend and talked to the guys at marina/restaurant and they...
