    Repairing Plexiglass Windshield

    Have not seen what it looks like But sounds like your local guy doesn't have the equipment to do it. They will either be buying the equipment to do it, or sending it out for another to do it

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    I just looked at their website and it mentioned opening up the TB. They may not have done that, just a question. From the site I'm not seeing much which tells me most of their work is with autos. Noticed they pay more for a core with the marine injectors, which would agree because you cannot...

    Can I use aluminum propellers on a Mercruiser Bravo III stern drive?

    Don't know if you can even find aluminum B3 props. Aluminum blades will flex more so you will loose performance. Don't know which boat but might go with a B2 lower, but B2 props are expensive If your boat was insured it would have been covered. Just get a policy to cover accidents

    2000 5.7 GSi PEFS MAP sensor?

    Its not the knock sensor. If it was there would be a code ,and what does a knock sensor do, it tells the ECM to retard the timing. The timing has not even advanced yet so nothing to retard Its getting to much fuel for the amount of air its getting. As rpms increase it gets to the point where...

    volvo penta 5.7 gxi-f sensor location

    Pumping the throttle on a fuel injected motor does nothing but move the throttle plate. If your moving the throttle open more and cranking this is giving it more air. If the throttle is 3/4 to wide open this shuts the fuel OFF. If the IR and the helm gauge reads the same then the ECT sender...

    UNBURNT FUEL DIESEL

    Replacing the fuel filter and not priming the filter and bleeding air normally causes the motor to stall in short order. Afterwards, it needs to be bleed to get it to start again. Your motors running so that's not the issue As before, if you check the motor oil level and its not changing...

    UNBURNT FUEL DIESEL

    Compression and injection pump is DIY, but does take some special tools. Compression is much higher pressures, so the fuel injectors are removed and test fitting is inserted in its place. Injection pump is easy enough to remove and reinstall but just need to set timing on motor and pump before...

    UNBURNT FUEL DIESEL

    Assuming, oil level is good and doesn't change. If a diesel gets more fuel then it can burn it can come out as white smoke. Might not notice white with exhaust in the water Also assuming the turbo to super charger leak was fixed I would consider a compression test.

    Co-Ownership Question . . .

    Knowing how your sibs would respond is most important. Getting into things with money IMO is hardly ever good unless you really, really, REALLY know how folks deal with money, including your self. If everyone is in similar financial position Don't need to get into the current cost of boating...

    UNBURNT FUEL DIESEL

    That doesn't look like diesel it looks like oil. Diesel is kind of clear unless that also includes carbon from the exhaust. The motor has a smoke limiter which limits the length of stroke of the injection pump until the turbo has time to build pressure. If this is not working correctly it...

    Getting the water out of the block after a sea trial?

    I would not crank the motor at all. If the motor is drained per the owners manual (did you download or one come with the boat?) then you should be good. If your in a hurry, place a 60 watt bulb under the motor when you get home.
