    New style volvo bellows

    Checked the part number I had and it's the same as OP had. But yea, really rigid and thin. One other thing thats different that it doesn't have the inner steel wire/spring anymore. Even the installation manual mentions that. Given how rigid and thin it is I have hard time to imagine how it can...

    Fuel cell project gone bad

    Tried still one more paint stripper but no luck there. So wire brush on a cordkess drill did the job finally. Anyway, assembled it all back together but havent tested it still. A bit worried on the O-ribgs ability to avoid water and fuel from mixing in the reservoir/cooler due to pitting on both...

    Low Oil Pressure

    I would say the oil viscosity is the culprit here. Thats a typical behaviour when coming down from plane the pressure drops. Like said before me - start from changing the oil to a higher vis one....

    Fuel cell project gone bad

    Thats the "beauty" of these fuel cells, the paint peeling happens only after the fuel filters. Regarding seals - ordinary O-rings.

    Fuel cell project gone bad

    Fuel pump on my 4.3 gxi started to whine already a while ago. Checked the fuel pressure regulator, there black dots visible so diagnosis on the paint problem was put. Ordered myself new pumps and opened up the fuel cell. The filter side was really good condition Ok, so I thought must be...

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Made a written inquiry to local VP along with serial numbers etc. Long story short - for this item there's no callback no goodwill no nothing.... eat s***.

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Thats a good bit of information, I should contact the local rep. But just to confirm, it's a direct swap between gen 1 and gen 2 and the new set they provided with hydraulic lines? (2 of the new lines have 90 degree fittings).

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    That might be the case in US but in EU I doubt anyone will replace a 15 years old pump cover? I understand you got gen 2 cover as a replacement?

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Actually did the ram seals last year because of leaks and foamy oil. Now it's again foamy. Either it's the cap O-ring which is visibly bad shape or it is because of the remains of bad oil from last year. Either way I will flush it out.

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Thanks. That sounds logical if you think from where to where the pump is pumping the oil 👍

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    By saying aft connections you mean the ends close to transom/shield? Sry english is not my native 😀

    How to drain tilt-trim system

    Noticed that my trim oil is a bit milky or foamy. Seems the cap O-ring on the reservoir has failed. So how to get it out from the system before you fill it with new? It's a DPS-A, gen 1 pump.

    New style volvo bellows

    Noticed this also. Can't say the part number I used but it's really thin, definitely not like solid rubber boot anymore. Come to think about it, there's this 0.000somehing chance I got fake part (advertized as oem but not from dealership)

    Check for play in VP SX-A outdrive?

    I have DPS-A and the play is exactly the same, and has been like that for years.

    Tracing the trim problem

    Got to the boat during the weekend and what I have is 7746477 for the drive and 7744933 as VP book. Either of those doesn't help out with my trim problem. What would be the correct manual to chase? Or any tips that I could check with multimeter? What about my hypothesis on shorting the trim...

    Tracing the trim problem

    The manual I have says only couple of words ...the same old 11 ohm story and that's it. But sender itself is ok (both old and new) so that's not the issue. Any other manual in my region is only possible to order on paper with lead time of approx 4 weeks...something that is beyond my mind. Hence...

    Tracing the trim problem

    It is a 4.3gxi-j coupled with DPS-A, both from 2008. For a while already I have had the problem that irrespective what is the outdrive actual position the little screen in the gauge still shows 56...as if the drive would be lifted up. Just bought a new trim trim sender and nothing changed. Given...

    Trim sinder or gauge issue with 2007 chaparral 276

    I'm interested in how did you verified that the gauge is not the culprit? Do you have an analog gauge or digital or both? I'm having hard time to believe two senders are bad...but not impossible. I'm stuck with this myself, ohmmeter on sender indicates the senders is good when you rotate it by...

    What type of oil and lube to use

    Started to search again. Can it really be so that now they are suggesting you to go with 5w30 https://marinepartseurope.com/Part/23211288?type=search Seems everything else for the gas engines is discontinued.
