    Volvo SX-M shift cable problem (BruceB58 please RE- thanks!)

    Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Alright so I pulled my remote control out today to see if I could adjust my shift cable. I noticed that both the throttle cable and the shift cable were both mounted on "top" of the remote. The throttle cable barrel is in...

    Volvo Penta SX clunk only in reverse (seperate from shift cable issue)

    At the end of last year, I started a thread under the same title. After a lengthy description, I received several suggestions of which all I followed during winterization this past winter (verify gear lube was/is not overfilled and ruled out shift cable issue). I figured instead of reviving an...

    Volvo SX-M shift cable problem (BruceB58 please RE- thanks!)

    Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem If I could figure out how to remove the coaming bolster (or whatever the upholstered panel the remote is mounted to is called) that'd be a lot easier, but I can't figure out how to remove it. Once the remote is off I don't...

    Volvo SX-M shift cable problem (BruceB58 please RE- thanks!)

    Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Ok, I think I understand the concept. So more than likely my barrel is currently installed in the inner slot (as pictured). If I were to move the barrel to the outer slot, that would effectively pull the cable towards the...

    Volvo SX-M shift cable problem (BruceB58 please RE- thanks!)

    Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Re: Volvo SX-M shift cable problem Thanks guys - the cable connected to the throttle control with a pin and cotter pin, like below...(photos not of my actual components but I recall that's what they look like) I believe the picture illustrates my...

    Volvo SX-M shift cable problem (BruceB58 please RE- thanks!)

    I've got a '99 VP with the SX-M and a OMC side mount throttle control. A while back I had to replace my shift cable because I accidentally crimped it while removing the outdrive. I pulled the cable, recorded the number stamped on it, and purchased an OMC replacement. I thought I installed the...

    Dashboard restoration- 1999 Chris Craft

    Re: Dashboard restoration- 1999 Chris Craft Thanks again. Oddly enough the vinyl has seemed to harden now in place. Still feels somewhat removable if I really needed to but I don't see that happening. Took it another step forward and took two of the pieces to a print shop and they were able to...

    Dashboard restoration- 1999 Chris Craft

    So when I purchased my new to me 1999 Chris Craft 200 a few years ago, I eventually noticed that the dashboard panels were made of plastic and had a painted on wood grain. Over the years and due to the PO over-tightening the mounting screws, the edges of the plastic where the screws passed...

    Installation help - boot for neutral warmup button on throttle control

    You'd think this would be easy and I understand the concept, however this little boot cost quite a bit and I don't want to rip it during the install by doing it incorrectly. I believe the throttle control is a 1999-ish OMC side mount throttle control. I know the disc (item #48) screws into...

    Oxidation

    Re: Oxidation I've got to agree - the Vaseline did a great job. I'm usually not a fan of quick and easy jobs over doing something the right way, but in this case it really works. Two years ago I took a glob of Vaseline and ran it with a white cloth down my trim line which was green and about...

    SX drive and hard shifting question

    I've got a '99 Volvo Penta SX and have a question regarding hard shifts. When I shift from neutral to forward, the shift is absolutely smooth with no clunk whatsoever. When I shift from neutral to reverse (even at idle), there is a noticeable clunk- I'd say its about as loud as a mercruiser...

    spring loaded latch for bench seats

    I have a 20' bow rider which has the rear bench configuration. The bench has two separate seats which flip up revealing storage underneath. The seats used to have a two piece plastic spring loaded latch - basically a wheel on one side so that when you close the seat lid, the wheel compresses...

    Thieves on Lake Murray, South Carolina

    I know the person who stole my wakeboard rack will never read this because I'm sure there are only honest, hard working members on this site, but at least putting this thread out there on the web makes me feel better. Between July 4th and July 13th, some dirtbag who had access to the secured...

    Blunders on the water.....what have you done?

    So I consider myself to be fairly experienced boater (30 years plus). I always have my required equipment, DNR inspections go without a hitch, and among my friends who have boats, the wives never worry about their kids on my boat because they know things are always kept under control and safe...

    Premium PowerPro Lower Unit Synthetic Lube color question

    Alright, bought three bottles today and put just over 2 bottles in the lower unit- one was green and the other was tan. I didn't notice it until the bottle was halfway pumped into the lower unit. Anyone know why this would be? Could they have changed colors during manufacturing? Could the tan...

    Volvo Penta outdrive - which gear unit oil to use? Too many options.....

    I've read over all the threads talking about what gear oil to use, how the Mobilube SCH is not available here (nor is the Mobil Delvac Synthetic for that matter, or at least I can't find it locally) and how any GL-5 synthetic is good enough as long as it doesn't contain the additives for limited...

    Shift cable adjustment help

    I've got a 1999 SX-M drive and I recently replaced the shift cable. The throttle assembly is OMC. The boat is a 1999 Chris Craft. The replacement cable is an OMC OEM part and is the same length as the one which came out - 14 ft. My issue is that I ran out of adjustment at the outdrive - in...

    Gear unit oil analysis

    I drained all the fluid from a spare Volvo SX outdrive I picked up. I don't have any information on the history of the drive, what type of gear oil it was last filled with, nor when it was last changed. I also don't know when the last time was that it was in the water. I'm trying to determine...
