    Impeller housing overheating

    Are you talking NPT or SAE? A 3/8 NPT means the ID of the hole is 3/8 which makes the threads .675 which is slightly larger then 1/2

    Engine alignment

    Reason because you can snap the blot off and then you have more problems. That said, if you use a 3/8 short ratchet and plugs are out your not going to put enough torque on the bolt to snap it. Again, grab the belt and move the pulley, it should not be that hard to do

    Engine alignment

    Opinion (other will vary), turn 90, if its still smooth your good to go. If the coupler is warped there will be a change, if not its good With plugs out, grab the belt and pully, and rotate by hand (CW or CCW doesn't matter). It should not be that hard

    Confused and frustrated

    My guess is yours is open cool, so you would have raw water drawn in by the pump in the out drive leg. If it won't start so need to find out if its lack of fuel or spark that is missing Look on the motor for a serial number? It will be a number (0 o 1), a letter and 6 more numbers EXP 0W123456

    Volvo Penta GSI crank no start not your typical crank no start

    Did you test the rest of the components? There is a coil inside the distributor Also disconnect the gray wire on your tach, as Scott said

    Impeller housing overheating

    Nothing wrong with Champion, took at set out of my 20 year old Rinker and they where still doing fine. Did install MR43T because I got a deal one about 50 of them some time ago Any plug will do what yours did when they get that hot.

    VP 5.7GXi-E, Poor Hot Start

    Check vacuum Looking at a scanner while running we could find out the position of the IAC. Could be vacuum is low and the IAC is almost full open to keep motor running.

    Volvo Penta GSI crank no start not your typical crank no start

    Need to scan for codes. The ECM looks to see if the distributor is firing before it pulses the injectors. My guess with a scanner is the problem is in the distributor

    Volvo Penta GSI crank no start not your typical crank no start

    One side of the injectors will have 12V when key is ON. The other side is grounded by the ECM to turn them ON/OFF. You can read the 12V but would need a NOID light to see them energize, meter isn't going to show MOB - Man Over Board switch

    Transom thickness

    The transom thickness is between 2 and 2 1/4 inch where the transom assembly mounts That said the way your boat is designed where only the middle of the transom is that thick. I doubt the sides are the same. There probably not much more then 3/4. I would use aluminum or stainless plates to hold

    Shaft stuck in gimble bearing with broken u joints out drive is off

    I'm thinking your gimbal bearing is held in place by a snap ring. If so have you removed it?

    2003 Volvo Penta 4.3 GL - Engine starts and runs for about a 15 seconds but won't stay running.

    A fuse either blows or it doesn't, but there might be some corrosion. Will have a 15 to 20 amp fuse on the Red/Purple feeding the key switch. Use a voltmeter and check for power at the coil
