    Understood, just making sure I don’t need anything special to connect the hose. I’m just not familiar with it and European stuff can be different sometimes.

    Is the flush port inside the engine bay just a standard hose fitting? Nothing special needed to connect a standard hose?

    What does the -E signify? I’ve seen other suffixes as well. Not sure at this time which mine is.

    How does it work while idling or in reverse?

    Seems like simple experience would indicate whether or not muff cooling is adequate or not. I mean it either works or it doesn’t. Guess I’m unclear on what the debate would be.

    Oh wow so no impeller in the drive itself? Ok that’s different to me. I need to collect all my serial numbers. All I know at this point is it’s a SX.

    You mean like a DB2 scanner? Where would that typically be? I have not seen one yet.

    Do they fit from the front or rear?

    Yes mine has that hose connection. I’m concerned about the rubber impeller in the outdrive running dry if you don’t push water from the bottom up. I know on Merc’s if you run without muffs for very little time the dry impeller will shred. Not sure about VP. Like you I thought that hose...

    I also noticed that my ear muffs I’ve always used on my Merc won’t fit the Volvo outdrive. Is there one everyone likes?

    While learning my way around the engine bay, I discovered the distributor cap is held on with zip ties because the little screw holes are stripped or broken. Im not even sure it’s a traditional distributor but that’s what it looks like. Not sure how to address this but definitely don’t want an...

    Hello everyone I just bought my first Volvo powered boat. A 07 Hurricane 202 with 5.0gXi. I know I’ll be spending a lot of time here learning this new system. I’ve been a Merc man my whole life as was my dad, so this is all new to me. I just wanted to say hi and for sure I’ll be seeing you around.

    Purple instrument wire no power

    Hi guys 07 Hurricane 5.0gxi with no power on the purple instrument wires. Ground on instruments is good. I do have ignition power. All fuses at the helm are good as well as the ones in the engine bay fuse box. Is there a relay that the key switch energizes or something? I’ve followed the wire...

    1997 Hurricane 5.7gi how to service engine?

    Hello Hurricaners! I’m looking at a 1997 Hurricane deck boat that looks to be in excellent condition. I do all of my own boat service and repair. From the photos the engine appears to literally sit in a hole. I can’t see how to access anything like spark plugs, starter, oil filter, drain pecock...

    5.7L rebuild and upgrade to vortec heads

    Right I know but I guess there isn’t really anything I can do about it.

    5.7L rebuild and upgrade to vortec heads

    I put reconditioned heads on several years ago but they probably only have 300 hours on them. I expect the valves are ok. That glitter in the oil is telling me something somewhere is wearing. I guess just run her until she gives it up. Could be years, who knows. But I got my answer regarding...
