    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    I’ve been following along and trying to craft a reply, but every time I start typing something comes up. Here are a couple of thoughts. As near as I can tell the helm has two power supplies running up to it. I don’t have access to the complete wiring diagram so it’s tough to be sure. But the...

    New to me Colbalt, Overheating only while pulling tube or ski

    I suggest that you remove the flush cap and inspect the oring and rubber washer. Tight only matters if the seals are in good shape. Notice that Volvo made this cap with wrench flats, this is their clue to you. A lot like why battery connections are now regular nuts instead of wing nuts. People...

    New to me Colbalt, Overheating only while pulling tube or ski

    Do you have “silent choice“ or some other switchable exhaust? Do you have a depth transducer and where is it installed? When you replaced the thermostat did you make sure the bypass passage was clear, poke a coat hanger or some stiff mechanics wire thru? Your engine has a flush fitting, have you...

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    EVC is an incredibly expensive upgrade. Last time I checked for a customer was years age and while I don't remember the exact price it was over $10,000 Ask your dealer about "Easy Connect" it's pretty reasonably priced. https://www.volvopenta.com/marine/accessories/easy-connect/

    Volvo Penta starter issues

    Maybe check with your service provider. Some offer mobile service calls. Ask for pricing and also what happens if the tech shows up but isn't able to fix the boat and it has to go back to the shop. I belive in customers being able to make an informed decision.

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    Something is wrong here, If the engine computer triggers RPM reduction it will also turn on the MIL light. If the problem goes away, RPM reduction ends immediately or at the next key cycle but the MIL will stay on for three trips. So if you have reduced RPM and no MIL light it's not the computer...

    DTC 113: IAT voltage high ( please help )

    Your right, it is crazy that the low pressure fuel pump would cause an engine to die and not restart. Does your engine have a misfire? Easy to test the low pressure pump.

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    @gerryvz has an engine package with EVC, that includes the engine monitor screen. @showar01 doesn't have an EVC equipped engine so they won't have the engine monitor. Sorry but no way to clear codes without a scan tool. Remember that if this engine goes into RPM reduction mode the next time you...

    DTC 113: IAT voltage high ( please help )

    What was the part number of the new sensor you installed? The link you posted has many different MAP/MAT sensors on it. You want Volvo p/n 3859020. If you bought something cheaper then $300, save the original one. You will probably need it. But wait, there's more! The DTC 0113 is telling you...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    I recommend that you repair the trim sender. Especially with Axius a lot of these systems are inter connected and a fault in one system can have cascading effects in other systems. Like disconnecting the warning horn, the PCM know this and will do all sorts of things to try and protect the...

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    I think you have made a good decision to have the engine scanned, It should provide you with some peace of mind. I recommend that you ask your service provider to give you a print out of the scan that includes any codes found and the freeze frame data associated with them. Also ask for a print...

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    Sorry to take so long to reply. It is possible the excessive trim could cause this problem. If the ECM interpreted the knocking U-joints as massive misfire then that could set a code and trigger RPM reduction. If that was the case, RPMs would come back to normal with a key off and restart. The...

    VP 350 V8 Warning Light (Regal 28 Express)

    I would need to know what engine you have. Engine serial number is best. What software package is in the computer determines warning horn, light and RPM reduction. Volvo built more than a few V8-350 models. Probably not due to trim. But will need serial number to be sure. Software and severity...

    2016 Mercruiser 6.2 ECT - long beep every few minutes???

    A few random thoughts on these engines: The trim sender can be important on these packages, suggest you repair it. Don't disconnect the warning horn on these engines, it will open a whole new can of worms. This engine has three 5v ref circuits. A, B and C trim sender is on circuit C. This...

    Axius Gen1 boat personality file

    I’m guessing on what is happening here. Cobalt was purchased by Malibu boats a few years ago. Sometimes when this happens, the new owner takes this opportunity to destroy a lot of the documentation of models that they will no longer build. This gives them an easy answer when owners who purchased...
