    why is there oil in my bellows but pressure test holds 15psi overnight

    Don't see it being grease, that said the new bearings are sealed but there are thousands of the old style still out there that get greased

    Metal O-Ring appeared on alignment tool

    The seal can be bent up to get it out. Others may have a better idea, but take a long screw drive and smack it

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Guess I'll have to take you word for it. Being 2X the force than I don't see how the Crap --- arrel stays together going from a SSX 30 to a 280 OSX. I have no stringer extra anything inside the boat. Sure my 280 only has a 25.5 ft hull Than we can compare the Formula 310 sterndrive or OB, the...

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    No engineer here I'm seeing the many structural supports built into the OB structure. Don't see how that will ever have a chance of failing. The boat came with twin 6.2's which has max HP rating of 350. All the force was placed on the original holes placed close together and there is no design...

    Alternator and fuel pump on Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D

    A fully charged resting Bat should read 12.7V that is after it has sat for an hour or so off the charger. Once motor has reved above 1500 RPM the ALT should show 14.5V Now the meter being used may be slightly off

    I know what your talking about. Looked at these when running with the Rev 4 props with my buddy watching as RPMs increased to WOT. Will compare with the new props Wanted to take the boat out today and fill the tank with readings, but winds were up around 20 mph so if things work out I'll try...

    Metal O-Ring appeared on alignment tool

    That's the inner spine on a lip type seal. Probably from the grease seal behind the gimbal bearing Edit Bondo was quicker

    why is there oil in my bellows but pressure test holds 15psi overnight

    Try putting 5 to 7 psi in and rotate the drive shaft. Also try to move it up/down/side to side to see if you loose pressure. With a lip seal, the more pressure is applied the tighter the seal is forced against the shaft If all that works without leaks, try a vacuum at 3-5 inHg

    Replaced the plugs and didn't notice any vibrations but also didn't take it out Called dealer and they agreed to take care of the overspray but I have to take it to them.
