    Truck for towing

    No I don’t want a WD hitch. So when the specs of the truck list a WD hitch that’s what they recommend? I didn’t realize I’d that’s the case.

    Draining the block

    Ok I just found a diagram. The blue petcock drains are on the block . The brass plugs are the manifold drains. I’ll need to go back and drain the manifolds. I filled all the hoses with pink antifreeze.

    Draining the block

    On a Volvo Penta 5.7 L I take the hoses off the thermostat housing and drain them. I also open the blue petcock valves on the manifold. Is it necessary to open the brass plugs on the ends of the manifolds as well?

    Hello, I have a 2001 5.7 L Volvo Penta with a leaking steering actuator. Very common problem I hear. I got the actuator removed today. 5-star marine in Florida offers a rebuild service for $ 450.00 plus parts. Or I can order the new seal kit for $ 75.00 and do it myself. Has anyone bought...

    Snap in carpet

    I want to replace my snap in carpet. What type of carpet is used for this? Any sources I can check? I’m thinking of buying the material and making them myself. I know you can get a special tool that attaches to a sewing machine to sew on the banding on the boarders.

    Won’t stay running

    Ok. So I exposed the 1st diode coming from the alternator going to the fuel pump relay. What do I do? Just expose both end and do a continuity test? And where can I get diodes? I think the guy in the video said 12 volt 3 ohms

    If I find that diode how do I test it? Scott said there is a diode test on a multimeter. Mine doe not have that. Can’t I do a resistance test on it? Is this a common problem? Would this cause me to lose power at the helm back in June? And what about the melted relay socket?
