    Options/Tools for CEL/DTC on Volvo Penta EFI

    Well where I live near DE beaches it's as issue where most boat shops service outboards and don't want to work on I/O. So I bought a Diacom. I have lots of tools. I read a lot. Even if I wanted to whip out my credit card it might wait a month at a boat shop.

    Manuals and parts diagrams for VP outdrives

    I think I have found everything. On the VP website you get the best information by using the drive serial number. You get some by the drive model but more by the drive serial. Manualslib appears to have the manuals online but the option to download them brings you to a different website...

    Did you attempt to put some super glue on the tiny stress cracks?

    Manuals and parts diagrams for VP outdrives

    OK - it would not show anything by product number which is different than serial number. But I did find the service manual by entering DPS-A OXI. That needs to be ordered as a printed copy and shipped from Sweden. Which I will do. Still looking for exploded parts diagram like they have for...

    Manuals and parts diagrams for VP outdrives

    Is signing up on the manualslib website legit? They require a CC to activate but say it's free. My bank declined the CC. Signing up to download the manual is not legit. They tried to put two charges on my credit card for a "free" account. Both were declined. Looks like the signing up is...

    Frustrated with shift/throttle

    I cannot waste another summer chasing things. Next will be a test at the dock. Then a run on the water with just wife as passenger. I have Sea Tow.

    Frustrated with shift/throttle

    I talked to the boat shop that installed the new shift conttol at the helm and he said he would use it unless it happens again.

    Outdrive cover for DPS-A outdrive

    I pulled the outdrive cover off today to inspect the shift mechanism. I noticed tiny stress cracks around each of the 5 bolt holes. There is kind of a bushing in each of the holes to spread the load onto the plastic cover. Although one of the sleeves is missing. Are these tiny stress cracks...

    Frustrated with shift/throttle

    The drive was recently rebuilt by a company in Michigan who used all new Volvo Penta factory parts for many thousand dollars. I would believe they used the proper VP gear oil.

    Frustrated with shift/throttle

    Pulled the cover off. Detached shift cable and moved the shift rod at the outdrive and it would go into F or N or R just fine. Move the control lever at the helm and it worked fine. Reattached shift cable and the control lever at the helm worked fine to shift into F or R. What am I to...

    Duoprop hub replacement ?

    You hope there was no internal damage. I bought a boat with a VP DuoProp that ran fine, no damage to props but during winter service was found to have one or two teeth missing from one of the main gears. You never know.

    Options/Tools for CEL/DTC on Volvo Penta EFI

    Buy a Diacom. If you are going to work on your VP engine yourself that has an ECM then I would suggest you get a small laptop and Diacom adapter and software.

    Oil Analysis Poor Sample

    Oil analysis has its uses. In most cases people use it to look for trends. But can also be used to look for coolant or water or fuel in the oil. In an engine with a 5 QT oil sump the oil analysis is around the same cost of a DIY oil change. Not a whole lot of savings trying to figure out...

    Frustrated with shift/throttle

    The outdrive was completely rebuilt in 2021 and has not been used going out in the water yet. It's been started and run at the dock and on muffs.
