    Another winterization question

    Pretty much what is said above. At a minimum, drain all the water out. A cheap time investment given the cost of a new motor.

    Sx gear oil change shouldn’t be this hard

    Purchase a drag link socket. Google it, it fits the grove perfectly and does not mar. It can also be adapted to an impact driver if a little force is needed.

    Volvo penta 2008 leaking water on left side of engine

    It`s kinda hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there is some sort of plug in there, perhaps broken off as I do not see a lot of threads visible. That is a manifold drain plug hole. Can you stick a finger up a ways into it? If it not leaking badly, you might be able to get through the...

    First time pulling an engine questions

    This appears to be pretty normal as mine has the same thing. I just remember to not to torque them down hard when installing.

    Battery connections

    Also, looks like your positive battery charger cable is wired to the negative terminal. You need to double check everything on those batteries.

    how does one flush out rust from block?

    Has anyone ever tried a product such as Evapo-Rust and let it sit in the block for a few days? I`ve used it on other items and have been fairly pleased with how it converts rust. It`s very fluid, not a thick paste and would flush easily without clogging small passages.

    Replacing my brake lines with rubber lines

    Replace the hard lines with flexible ones and just zip tie to frame or you could screw mount them in. If you dip in salt, any newly drilled holes could speed up the corrosion rate.

    how does one flush out rust from block?

    It will immediately start rusting again as soon as you de-rust it. Unless you plan on doing it frequently, you may not be gaining a whole lot. I am not aware of any coating that you can put in there that would last.

    Whine sound coming from the fuel pumps?

    What engine? How many hours? Fuel pumps may be getting clogged from internal peeling paint but need a little more information to properly help.

    Where do you guys buy your Volvo Penta outdrive oil?

    You can find it on Amazon or Ebay if you do not have a dealer nearby. I use Amsoil bought directly from them. The oil pump is also available on Amazon. Get the one with the screw in filler plug, not the plastic cone shaped one.

    Outdrive Oil Leak

    Based on the location I would guess a shifter seal is bad. Remove that plastic cover and you should be able to get a better view and confirm.
