    Rear Engine Mount Stud Loosens When Tightening Top Lock Nut

    Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. I was able to double nut it and get the stud back up. If you are patient you can get a box end wrench on the stud to hold it Does not seem like it but I was just able to get it in there. You can’t turn it but you can hold it. I was also thinking...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GSI PEFS ignition control Module

    Has anyone cross referenced the ICM? my parts guys tells me it is obsolete and hinted that a GM (Auto) one is the same. I am not usually a fan of using automotive ignition parts. Anyone know of a cross reference this Module 3854003 Seems automotive ones are WAY cheaper but i worry about that.

    Rolling torque after prop seals

    Okay work is progressing with DP-SM prop seal replacement. I hired someone to replace them because i don't have the tools. After research I am concerned about the rolling torque. Pretty sure he did not do that. What should I do to set it at this point? I am looking to get the spanner tool now.

    Add fuse to starter?

    I am upgrading my main battery lines. I have seen some that have added a fuse to their Starter feed. it will add some protection to the run between the starter and the battery. Just wondering if anyone has gone down this path as well and what you used. I have the 5.7 Gsi PEFS.

    Fuse or breaker?

    I am upgrading my battery system. after some research I will be adding some main fuses coming off the battery to the ACR charging switch. I am going back and forth between using an actual fuse or adding a breaker like this one for $25. I am worried about the quality of those breakers verses a...

    Break in oil

    I am gathering supplies for the new engine. Volvo Penta break in instructions just says change the break in oil after 20 hours i believe, but no mention of what that break in oil is. I am thinking a good non synthetic SAE 30 or 40 oil would be good for the first 20 hours then switch to the...

    Upside down oil filter change

    I have a local Volvo Penta mechanic that is giving me a remote oil filter setup. The filter does sit on it upside down hole facing down. Does the trick of loosing the filter let it drain the oil out of it? (I do not have a problem waiting a little for that to happen) I have seen people say...

    2000 DP-SM gear oil substitute?

    I am sure this has probably been beaten to death but I could not find it. Does anyone use gear oil other than the Volvo Penta 75w90 in their out drive? I am going to change it for good measure but that gear oil has gone up about $12 a quart since last June. I got it for just under $16 a...

    Remote Oil Filter

    I was wondering if anyone has found an aftermarket oil filter relocation kit for the Volvo Penta 5.7? It seams all i can find are just parts and pieces for the OEM version and most want a pretty penny for those. I am installing a new long block soon and I am just getting to old to be crawling...

    Question about audible alarm

    I have a 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7Gsi. I am finally getting back to some repairs and maintenance. One thing that always bugged me was the audible alarm system on this engine. I have never heard a beep or anything when starting up. I just bought this boat last year and i have never heard...

    Getting a rebuilt 5.7

    I am looking for a rebuilt long block for my 2000 VP 5.7GSi. I found a guy fairly close. He has said that the Volvo Penta 5.7 came as a 2 bolt main with a cast crankshaft. I had a 1972 Chris Craft that had a 350Q in it. That was a 4 bolt main with a forged crank. (I have a block for that in...

    MEFI 3 scan tool

    Is anyone using the MEFIScan tool from ODB Diagnostics? It’s only about $200 and looks like it can record all parameters. Dose it work well? I will use it very rarely so for $200 that’s darn good, unless it doesn’t work. I just want to verify all the sensors are in spec and check for codes...
