    Volvo Penta D3-200 Turbo

    Welcome Have not worked on the 200, but like all marine stuff ya just need to figure out what needs to be removed to get at what you want to take off, Sometimes you need to make a tool. Example: There was one bolt I could just barely get at on starter for a D3 dozer. Bent a boxed end just...

    SEI Alpha 1 Gen 2 lower ratching noise (with video)

    Yes normal for the Alpha drive, it's the dog clutch Bravo drives won't do it because they do not use a dog clutch

    5.0xl/V8 mer. Where do I start?

    Welcome Remove the fuel filter and dump contents into a clear container. The gas should be clear and smell like gas. My guess is the gas will be bad and needs to be pump out and disposed of. If gas is bad use a gas can and connect hose from it to fuel filter. Do replace the fuel filter Get...

    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    I don't think there is a bad hydraulic steering for your size boat. The big names are Sea Star and Latham, and Mayfair Marine makes some lower cost ones

    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    For most part YES The comment I made in first post saying cables were bent to tight is incorrect, those are not the cables, they are electrical cables The cables feeding the racks appear to not be bent much at all in 2nd pic

    VP 5.0 2005 vs. Merc 2005

    Don't really know the boat so I'm just going to give a guess Had a 23ft Rinker with sink in the cuddy. Water supplied from tank beside the motor and drain went out thru the side of the hull below sink. Water pump was turned ON by a switch next to sink. If water supply line is still there, then...

    Curious to what type of steering this is and what is a replacement for it.

    Guess I need one further back but if the pic shows a push/pull cables (2 cables) and they are bent that tight, then they are to long. No steering cable other then maybe some hydraulic (an those should not be that much either) cables should never be bent that much All steering cables have a bend...

    Need better hole shot

    Good info, and since your not talking about full time loading IMO, the WOT is not relevant Example: 23 ft, 454 and reached WOT using 21 pitch 3 blade For pulling skiers with several onboard I changed to 19 pitch 3 blade and could over rev Tired to pull up 12 skiers and knee boards at one time...

    Minn Kota E-Drive batteries Ah rating

    Teleflex 73742 trim gauge vs sender resistance values

    Most likely will not find one that looks exactly like your old one. Look into Faria, VDO, Autometer gauges, might get close

    Black cap trim.

    The pump should be self priming. Wonder if when the relief was loosened a piece of crud got under the valve and is keeping it open

    Teleflex 73742 trim gauge vs sender resistance values

    The North American standard is 240 to 33 ohms (Empty to Full) The European standard is 0 to 180 ohms (Empty to Full) So your gauge is working closer to the European style The 0-50 for the sending unit has me wondering if it isn't a switch

    Need better hole shot

    This tells me most of the issue and changing props will not do much as you have found out. A 5.0 isn't much better then a 4.3, and what you need is more HP. You could fix it with a 5.7 but not sure your willing to do that. Is the motor a carb or MPI?
