    Alternator and fuel pump on Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D

    Thank you for the useful info. Whether I have a mechanical pump or not, not sure, I can only see a single fuel line coming from what I suppose is the electric fuel pump. Unless the mechanical pump is the one I use to "prime" the cold engine. Could not see any fuel coming through the disconnected...

    Alternator and fuel pump on Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D

    After doing some fixes to my cooling system, I took the boat for a test ride. One of the first out-of-ordinary issues I noticed straight after launching and starting engine was that my dash voltmeter was indicating 12 V, while it usually indicates 14 V.

    Original Poster here with a new account, due to a lost and unrecoverable password. Just a follow up on this issue for others who might be experiencing similar symptoms. I have cleaned the exhaust riser extension and exhaust elbow, as well as the marine wet exhaust rubber tube connecting to...

If I read the below diagram correctly, this J hose (#9) should always be...

    Exhaust riser restrictor plate - Volvo Penta sterndrive 3.0 GLP-D 4-cylinder petrol

My riser elbow does not have any additional hoses attached. Can only see the temperature sensor, and an Allen bolt. If this is...

    Hi all, looking for answers to the below issue affecting my first ever boat, recent owner. Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D, 4-cylinder, sterndrive, petrol engine on a Glastron 5.2 m fiberglass boat. Engine runs OK, warming up to ~175 F in ~10 minutes, and will run at this temperature. Top J-hose, from...

    Volvo Penta 3.0GS Restrictor Plate position on Riser

    Hi, I trust this post is not to old. Trying to diagnose the reason for occasional splitting of the J hose between the engine circulation pump and thermostat housing, (shown with number 9 on the color diagram) on a Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D engine. If I read this diagram correctly, this J hose (#9)...
