    Bilge Pumps Not Working

    Cool, you are game! And I know we are going to both learn from this, for example I have not heard of a bilge pump pumping to another bilge pump before, so this will be fun. Let’s get started :) While you are teasing out the wiring you do need to think about how you want these pumps to work...

    2007 Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI-G, Fuel & Spark, but No Start

    Springboarding off the idea of fuel starved (even though you checked the pressure), here are a coupe of thoughts: Check the fuel filter is tight (vs. slightly loose and sucking air after a short period). Pull the fuel rail pressure regulator – if it still has a screen (vs. the E Clip), does the...

    Bilge Pumps Not Working

    Nice boat! Based on your question it seems as if you are satisfied with the other aspects of the boat and given the relationship, etc. that seems to be a good bet. But with the age of the bilge pumps my suggestion is to simply replace. Trusting your investment to a 35 old pumps, even if you get...

    1999 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL - No fuel pump or crank

    Drew, it’s time to get this boat in the water now that it purrs! Congrats on that! Yet you still need to attack this ‘head scratcher’ so let’s tackle it one logical step at a time. First off need a wiring diagram and multimeter. I have found one that may represent yours that AllDodge posed on...

    VP 4.3 GL-B - Spark issue

    Not user. The pump you listed appears to be correct. But you are also correct thinking if the pressure is too high it can unseat the needle in the carb, causing flooding. Do you have a way to measure the PSI of the pump output? Others will know the exact spec but should be in the range of 5 to...

    oil pressure sending units dual station SW gauges, exists any single station sender can work?

    Well, I am glad I totally misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish 😊 And at least now it’s clearer what you want to do. However, i am not familiar with these types of set ups. Hopefully others can guide you.

    Volvo 6.0

    Kuz > while I do not know about your question, let’s see if can get the conversation started. First off, the 5.0 in a 22’ boat is already a lot of motor. My 5.0 in my 23’ Larson tops out at 45MPH. If the issue is one of a worn-out engine why not go with same to eliminate ‘conversion issues.’...

    What depth/fish finder do I want

    The other thing to keep in mind is where to mount and how. I found some pictures of an older 20’ SRV with a chart plotter mounted on top of the dash, see this link. So when you go talk to the rep as dwco is recommending, take along some photos of your helm and other possible places where it...

    Automatic Bilge not running

    This is exactly correct. And there is one other possiblity: a bad sensor in the pump. Pump works on manual but has a bad sensor and does not pump on auto. This is why its important to check the fuse and your connections on the brown wire.

    Automatic Bilge not running

    Does not matter, its ok on the temp. But before you test again, need to validate that the fuse is not blown or some other issue with the wiring (like a bad connection).

    oil pressure sending units dual station SW gauges, exists any single station sender can work?

    It is not clear to me what your question is or what you are trying to accomplish. You have 2 engines, so yes you need an oil pressure sending unit for each engine. And are desiring to have a ‘single’ oil pressure gauge but with a toggle switch to flip back and forth between the engines? If so...

    Automatic Bilge not running

    Also it is possible the fuse blew, so check that as well (and the rating). And if it’s one of those auto sensing Rule pumps I am thinking of, it has a test push button on them that uses the power from the auto side (brown wire). Thus if you are positive there is power to the brown wire and...

    5.7gs low oil pressure

    At least not yet but it’s coming. That low of a pressure will result in a ruined engine as I am sure you are aware of and concerned about. You need to get a decent mechanical oil pressure gauge and validate the reading. Do that ASAP and do not run the engine otherwise. Post what you find and...

    5.7gs temp gauge wiring

    Galvez83, I just noticed you have this same post going in Electrical. Perhaps one of the moderators can merge the posts into one on the electrical side to allow a more coherent back and forth.

    Starter not engaging flywheel

    I am thinking old school where ring gears were shrunk on the flywheels. Did not know the 5.7s were welded on, but good to know. My overall concern is that the OP needs to keep investigating and post the findings. From there lots of folks will help and he can back to enjoying trouble free boating 😊

    Starter not engaging flywheel

    See post 4 - issue still exists I think the OP is simply frustrated since never an issue before BRTate > we have all been there but things break. The ring could have moved. The new starter could be bad. The key here is to investigate per alldodge suggestions now that the other items have...

    Trolling Motor Grinding/Friction Noise

    There is definitely something binding as you suspect (like bent shaft per Dingbat and also per your wobbly prop) or some contamination that interferes with its rotation (ie between the rotor and the stator > the stator is magnetic and may have some metal debris from the old brush holder stuck to...

    VP 4.3 GL-B - Spark issue

    Agree your compression is fine to run. So now you know you have 2 of the 3 needed ingredients. Spark and Compression. And while you have fuel, you have too much of it as evidenced by the wet plugs and the other symptoms your id'ed. Finish that carb rebuild and get ready for some boating action!

    No power

    Hopefully its as simple as a bad relay. If you have a spare, try that. If not, here are some steps to determine it’s a bad relay: Power up the relay (key on) and gently tap the top of the reply with the handle of a screwdriver. If suddenly works, replace it. There may be another relay that is...
