I am the new owner of a 1200 SUV. My other Yamahas have shot water out the side cooling spout on the port forward side when on the hose connection. This one does not. It seemed to be flowing well and cooling the engine, but not much water came out of the spout. It was flowing well out of the...
I have a Volvo fuel filter in my 5.0L the Volvo part number is 3851218 (new is 3862228). Does anyone know the Fram or Tempo number that I can use? I am not always close to my Volvo dealer.
I have a Yama 760 and have been nothing but pleased. I do know that it uses more fuel than my boat! Does anyone know the fuel savings of a comparable 100hp or so 4 stroke? I am just curious what I could expect to save on gas and oil not to mention the hassle of adding oil.
My brother has a SeaDoo GTX and has been using the $40/gal Sea Doo oil. Seems a little high to me as I'm running TCW3 in my Yama (It is not acceptable accordintg to Sea Doo, however) What's the scoop on oil for the Sea Doo, is another synthetic OK, why is the Doo so picky and my Yamaha runs...
I have been running TCW3 oil in my Waverunner. It meets Yamaha recommendations etc. How does it compare with Yamalube? I am only paying 5.70 / gal so the savings are significant. What are the rest of you using? I know some Sea Doos require full syn oil which adds up to enough cost over the...
I have a 200 GP760 Waverunner. Runs great, but seems to me to be injecting way too much oil. When I pull the plugs they look wet and oily. I am going through a tank of oil in less than 2 tanks of gas. Is the injection pump adjustable? If so how do I set it?
I have a 96 Volvo 5.0. I noticed a drip from the sea pump shaft seal. It does not appear that this seal is available from Volvo. It looked a little gunky. I flushed it and will probably reinstall it and try to run it. Has anyone replaced one of these. Do they expect you to just replace...
I have a 96 Volvo 5.0 with the Sx outdrive. To make a long story short I have some vibration and noise when maing full indexed turns in the water. My other Volvo had similar tendencies. I have replaced the U joints which showed some wear, installed a new gimble bearing and set the alignment...
I am toying with converting my boat trailer to pull a ski behind my 21' Chris Craft. I have seen several on the road set up like this and would like opinions and set ups. My plan is to extend a beefy piece of angle back past the outdrive to attach a ball and light hookup for the jet ski...
I am looking at some used pieces for Vovlo SX outdrives. Mine is in good shape, but I would build a spare if I can find the right halves to mate. I assume the gear reduction is done in the lower half. I have a 1.66 currently. Will the top halves interchange? Seems straitforward but I am...
I am attempting to pull the gimabal bearing from my Vovlo SX drive. I have a 3 jaw slide puller in it and am unable to budge it. Any suggestions? I understand that it is possible to replace only the bearing and not the aluminum outer housing which comes with the bearing. Anyone have...
I just got a 760 Waverunner. It has the power trim system as well as the adjustable sponsons on the rear. It tends to want to porpoise a lot when going over wake. Are there trim tabs or other mods which will reduce this some. The trim will not stop it.
I recently acquired a 21' Chris Craft with a 5.0 Volvo and SX cobra outdrive. I am getting a noticable increase in vibration when making tight turns such as when pulling a tube. I have checked the engin alignment adjusted it slightly. The gimble bearing feels silky smooth. U joints are tight...
I have a 97 volvo outdrive that is weathered, primarily due to the previous owner storing the boat outside. All of the original paint is intact, but I am considering shooting a coat of urethane over it to make it look a little better. Any suggestions. I have done quite a bit of body work and...
