I have a 10' 4.3L GL-J and have always ran normal 87 pump gas with the marine sta-bil ethanol treatment with every fill up.
My local gas station now carries 91 octane with no ethanol, I'm not looking for HP gains but rather less stress on the carburetor gaskets and seals. Would it be proactive...
Money is tight with neededing new tires for my truck and other unforeseen bills so I want to save myself the $250 winterization fees this year. I've read the sticky and several other posts pertaining to winterizing but trying to not purchased the expensive shop manual. I've poked around the...
As title states, looking for a repair manual to cover this engine. I've poked through the stickies and tried to find them on Volvos site but my Internet access is only on an iPad/ which doesn't support adobe flash, or I can't download them and my smart phone.
Seloc only covers up to 2003-2007...
Is your trim pump cover leaking oil from here or another location?
Has your trim pump stopped working all together? Well it's an easy replacement, and can be done yourself saving a couple hundred by not going into the shop.... For who knows how long.....
The trim pump and/or pump cover is a...
2010 Volvo penta 4.3L GL-J, SX-A out drive.
I'm just out of warranty :( ( 5/13/2010 purchase date) and noticed an oily substance on the black housing this evening after pulling the boat. I'm not sure exactly where the leak is coming from yet, but my trim is still fully operational up and down...
Long story short, glastron did a **** poor job on installing my tower at their factory. Spider cracks formed and I went after them to fix it under warranty, they tried to deny my claim but in the end I got them to buck up. I had to uninstall and now reinstall the tower tho.
The tower luckily...
Ok, I already had my steering cylinder replaced 2 months ago for leaking under warranty. I am still under warranty until May 2012. I have asked around and cannot get a straight answer from local Volvo dealers...
1)There is suppose to be a slight film on the cylinder as it passes in and out...
I have a 2010 Volvo 4.3L GL-J
Just got my steering cylinder replaced under warranty due to a leaking ram, fluid is still a little low in the reservoir but could be due to the trailer being tilted a ways back. Its just under the last hash line. My boat dealer is an hour away, went to my local...
My 2010 boat has 45hours on it and am coming up to my engine's break in 50 hour service inspection. I've already changed the oil this spring with fresh mineral oil 10w30 and new filter at 30 hours for a piece of mind. Boat is running top notch with no issues ( knock on wood)
What else is...
1) My boat is primarily used for wakeboarding, I tow riders and myself at 20-22mph. When riders and I used a hard edge away from the boat it slows the boat down and I am trying to alleviate having to feather the throttle for other drivers. They can't seem to get it just right when I am being...
Trying to find out if there are any waterways ( Rivers) that are navigable and don't have the annoying NO WAKE zones. Ideally looking for sheet of glass or extremely calm water to waterski / wakeboard on and not have to fight rough lake water.
Well I am not sure where this should go but this will have to do....
Our summer residence is on Chaumont Bay,which is a large bay just off Lake Ontario just up the Bay from Bondo-O a fellow I-boats member. The water level here changes a good 3-3.5' a year and pending on the winds in the spring...
I know they come off somehow, but I am not sure and can't exactly get my head up behind my radio to see. But I know there is a roughly 6" hole drilled behind them to access that compartment.
Anyone know how to pop these off? I am running 2 new speakers to the bow of my boat, 2 factory ones in...
My owners manual is very vague...
I have 23hours on my boat and it has just passed the engine break in 20hr time frame. At the end of the literature it says the first service inspection should be carried out after 50hours of operation. It says don't remove the break in oil until after the...
Why do these seem to be impossible to find?
Iboats doesn't carry anything in 6 lug, checked West Marine and they couldn't help me.
I have a 2010 EZ-Loader with 6 lug 225/75-15 wheels. I already had to special order a spare tire/wheel...
Recommendations?
