    Control Box Removal Volvo Penta

    This is correct. You have to look from the bottom. And you may have to move the throttle forward to access it. These controls are a PITA. They are actually an OMC control so if you change to a Volvo style control, you will have to change both the throttle and shift cable. For the throttle only...

    2002 Volvo Penta 5.0 idles great then dies in gear

    The more I think about it, You should just replace the fuel pump. Even if it isn't the issue, Its pretty much at the end of its lifespan anyway. MIne failed around the ame number of years as yours. Also, I always carried a short jumper to bypass the fuel pump relay. You can use it for testing...

    2002 Volvo Penta 5.0 idles great then dies in gear

    Yes...That's the first thing I would do. After that, checking float level would be my next step. Does the fuel pump make a whining noise at all? That's the first thing they do when they start to fail. On my carb'd Volvo, that's what happened with mine.

    2002 Volvo Penta 5.0 idles great then dies in gear

    He has a carb. There is one pump. The ones that had flakes were the dual pump modules used on fuel injected models. If this was a fuel injection module, you couldn't even use a mechanical pump. Starting in the mid to late 90s, GM blocks didn't even come with a place to put a mechanical pump...

    should I use a support for my outdrive on my H190?

    I used to use the clips. I don't bother anymore. On my current boat, if I lost hydraulics, the sterndrive would still never hit the ground. If your drive would hit the ground if you lost a line or the ram failed, use it as an insurance.

    3.0gs Seized P/S pump

    It's just a paper gasket for the impeller. Comes with the impeller kit. You are replacing it right? Hopefully who ever put on all the gasket sealer didn't work on the rest of the boat much.

    run a ground wire

    I never ran a separate ground. Always used the frame. Of course I drilled a hole, had a crimped on ring connector, used a nut and bolt and painted over the connection.
