    Volvo Penta KAD 300 power steering issue

    Will take me some looking to know exactly how it functions, but my guess is its similar to other types. The wheel is moved which applies pressure on one side or the other of a valve back by the steering cylinder. Applying pressure opens the valve which sends high pressure fluid from the...

    Volvo Penta KAD 300 power steering issue

    There should not be a power steering pump. The Seastar/Teleflex steering is fully self contained and does not have a pump. When the wheel is turned its similar to a bottle jack where a small pump causes the bottle jack to lift. Where as the wheel is the small pump, moving the rudder cylinder...

    Tachometer Bouncing Causing Engine Surging

    Have some conflicting statements, or at least how I'm taking it The Tach bounces but the motor RPM doesn't actually change The Tach bounces but the motor RPM does change from the sniper fuel supply Fist the Tach gets the signal from the Neg side of the coil, which is when the Petronix switches...

    Water leaking from block but pressure tested fine?

    I think its the head gasket, and it starts to leak when heated up and things expand.

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    I remember that the boat use to go on plane with previous motor but; it weights 6000 dry and loaded at least 7000 (fuel, gear people) Example: MY old Rinker 4800 dry with 454 B1 had no issue coming up. Same boat with 350 B3 had trouble. My 9000 dry cruiser with 415hp 502 B3 2:0 ratio 22Pitch...

    Compression numbers are good. Vids show the pump is not able to pump move water. Remove drive and check the connections and hose fittings. If they all look good, then need to get back in the drive

    Mercrusier 350 MAG MPI - RPM issue under a load

    I thought you already tested fuel pressure and it was correct and stayed there thru the full RPM range. Having injectors cleaned and flow tested is never a bad thing other then the cost of having it done. If this is done you want it done by a place that does marine injectors and not autos...

    Volvo Penta KAD 300 power steering issue

    If the steering is a seastar or teleflex type steering, then the motor doesn't need to be running for it to work. If its still hard to turn with motor running and in gear, the its either the helm or steering cylinder issues
