    I/Os in salt water...

    alldodge, this is an interesting article. Unfortunately, Fluke mention what DMM to use, but say nothing about the probe. Anyone know where to get those probes, and if they are expensive. I would like to test the system on my Volvo.

    rolling torque wrench

    I need to change my drive shaft oil seal on my Duoprop SM. Instructions say to install a new crush sleeve and gradually torque the bolt until the rolling torque is between 9-14 in lb. But I don't find a torque wrench in that range. Mine is a 0-600 in lb with the first mark being 20 Where do...

    Volvo 300-B (5.7L) mystery hose

    KetchiMan, I had the same question as you. I has been answered in the following thread, post #37,38,39. To resume, it is a pulse limiter. Air fumes from the fuel cell are sucked in the intake manifold, and that disc is like a protection in case the engine backfires...

    Spark plugs, Volvo numbers don't match

    Yes, 993s are platimum. My engine is a MPI Gi-D. I just found in a box given with the boat a set of iridium plugs Delco 983. After inspection, they look like new. I suspect a mechanic at some point suggested a spark plug change, without knowing they were iridium with a long life. Anyway, I...

    Looking for a bigger boat....

    What I think is the most important thing in towing, is preparation and equipment. The 'Oh Crap this feels dangerous' time?' you are referring to, can happen while towing at 2000lb under the maximum capacity, while, you could tow at the maximum, and feel like there is nothing behind. It is...

    Crazy Trim Problem - please help my sanity!

    sbbamafan Do a test. Unplug the motor, and attach a voltmeter to the feed wires and activate the control. If you have 12V, but the motor doesn't run when connected, and is know as good, you may have a bad ground (resistive) or bad 12V connection. If it's the case, follow the wires to the...

    Spark plugs, Volvo numbers don't match

    Scott, the attachment picture of the plug was on Amazon.ca Sometimes some merchants are way out of price. Marc c, I will take a look at Rockauto. I never bought from them, but heard that they have good prices.

    Spark plugs, Volvo numbers don't match

    Thanks Scott for the reference number. B.O.A.T. Regular plug at $22 CND each because of the S.S., or Covid, may be because in Canada, who knows. I will check my local autopart store for the AC 41-993

    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    Found it!!!! The breaker is mounted under a bracket behind the engine and beside the big electrical plug. Thanks guys for giving me the motivation to crawl behind that engine. :) Being RED on RED was not easy to spot!

    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    It makes sense that there is a breaker. Alldodge, I looked around the engine, on the transom, etc, but don't find that 50A breaker.

    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    Yes, it is the boat in the picture. But is there a breaker? Someone on FB told me there was a breaker behind the engine. I will check that today.

    Outdrive trim pump, where is the power source

    2004 Signature; Volvo Penta At the end of the summer, the trim pump started working intermittently. At one point, the motor didn't turn anymore, but I could hear the relays clicking. While testing, I guess a fuse or breaker tripped, because I couldn't hear the relays click anymore. I removed...

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    Yes, I saw that. It is like if the axle moved sideways or the U bolts are not tight enough. This is a trailer I had built for my boat in 2018. I had to call the guy 3 times to fix things, and the rest I fixed myself. So, another thing to fix myself.

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    I put my finger under the support and I felt the head of the bolt, so it should be fine. Also, they rotate but stay centered.

    Why my leaf springs are sliding?

    Thanks everyone. I now know what those metal straps do in a leaf pack. I found some online. But they look a bit flimsy like for a small utility trailer. I will keep searching.
