Hi everyone. Have a 2000 VP SX-M that I removed and had sandblasted to remove all the various (many) coats of different paints and bottom coat paints.
Been researching and reading other similar posts on this forum and get more and more confused as to what to use for base coat/primer. There are...
UPDATE! I broke down after trying everything within my means and lack of sturdy tools and took it to a mechanic. They were able to get them apart. I was told it took some heat and sturdy hits and they busted a couple of the studs in the process. Now on to giving it a tough/deep cleaning and I am...
Thanks for the tip on the acetone and ATF. I do have the outdrive off the boat and on a table and I angled it downward to allow the Penetrant to pool around the 6 bolts to see if that helps (unable to attach a picture but can't) and also trying to scrape anything out of the threads with thin...
Hi Scott, I realized now what you were referring to and yes, the first fitting is what is on my outdrive. I did see that the fitting was cracked, so I suspect that is where there was not enough water coming in at higher speeds. I pulled the outdrive off and the drive & the pivot housing are...

Volvo-Penta SX-M outdrive
I had previous post of getting high temperature at 3k rpm or higher. After feedback from this forum and others, I decided to pull the outdrive out to see the seals at the water intake in the upper unit. I was not...
Update post: I pulled the water out of the water since I have it dry docked. All looked ok with housing but when I was flushing the engine, noticed quite a bit of exhaust coming out of the outdrive. Thinking I need to take it to a shop for diagnostic and then see.
Unless someone here has any...

When you say grooves on the wear plate, where would I see this? Do I need to take off the pump?
By the way, I am fairly a newbie. Lol
Hello All and happy 4th.
I have a 2000 Seaswirl Striper 2600 with a VP 5.7. I just changed the engine oil and filter, outdrive oil, fuel filters and took out the boat. Noticed that as soon as I hit 3500 rpm, the temp shot up to 250f. Dropped rpm and temp dropped. Took boat out and changed the...
Hi All,
I have a 2000 2600 Seaswirl Stryper with a Volvo-penta 5.7 gsi and a SX-M outdrive. Trying to change the drive lubricant and I am unable to remove the oil drain plug.
I tried Freeze-off and PB Blaster but was unsuccessful. Any tips or tricks on removing this? Should I try to use a torch...
