    Questions regarding tow vehicle

    My F-150 has a the OEM hitch that is rated for 500# TW and 5000# total towing weight. Anything higher is recommended to be a WDH. I use a WDH with my boat which is likely 6800# total with a 650# tongue weight.

    Shifter question?

    I find that very hard to believe. What happen if the throttle is on the port side of the boat? Yes...I have seen boats like that.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D (PCV valve popping off while running - carbon buildup on boat thru exhaust)

    I have PVC valves on my pool equipment! Never see one on an automotive engine before.

    I stand corrected. Kinda interesting it has an elbow as well. Wonder what the PCV even does.

    There are no PCVs on boat engines with carbs.

    Why not call the company and ask them what the sizes are?

    7.4GL temp sender info needed

    Looks like it's part 31 in this diagram. This is for your exact model. Part number 3852029 http://www.volvopentastore.com/Exhaust-And-Cooling/dm/cart_id.322240510--session_id.106526523--store_id.366--view_id.769693

    7.4GL temp sender info needed

    Yes, the other is a temp switch for an alarm. You probably don't have that wired up. On later engines, it would cause you go into S.L.O.W. mode but I doubt your engine has that. You should be able to look up the part number on a slightly newer motor. I am sure they are the same senders.

    Shifter question?

    It doesn't matter. The throttle cable is on a completely different arm of the control.

    Bow riders with best engine access?

    I am in fresh water now 100% so not an issue. Even if I was in salt...cost of boating. BTW, won't be long before large outboard all have catalysts. Starter is super easy to get at home n my boat. I can lay in bilge and stare at it one foot from my face. I can drain the water out of the engine...

    Bow riders with best engine access?

    LOL...best thing about my boat is the sunpad and the walk through and the huge swim step. And it easier to work on than a 33 year old Four Winns.

    Bow riders with best engine access?

    With my Cobalt R5, the engine compartment is so big, I can physically lay next to the engine. Very handy when changing spark plugs and doing compression checks. Of course it's also nearly 26' long. It is a bow rider though! The pieces to the side of the engine come out with just a couple...
