Yes, year 2000 with electronic ignition. I'm looking in the Volva Penta manual but so far can't find the plugs.

Hey, folks, I am doing a tune up for Spring.Just wondering which plugs cap and rotor etc right now I have.NGK BPR6.EFS. Is cap and rotor marine only or does basic Chevy 305 work?

I have a 2001 19ft. Monterey with Volvo 5.0, single axle 15 inch wheels and no brakes, towing with 99 F150. I towed it for the first time and miss having brakes. My previous boat was same size and had surge brakes with drums and worked great, so thinking of same setup, but don't know if my...

Thanks you Scott, I was a little stressed, this is my first winterize.

I also changed fuel filter, added Sta Bil to tank, fogged engine. No water in filter, so that's good news.

Just winterized my 2001 Volvo 5.0 GL 305 Chevy. Did 2 block drains, 2 exhaust manifold drains, and 2 sea water pump hoses.. A video said to drain the intake manifold. Didn't see this in the manual.

Yes, power steering. Guess it's normal, thanks

I have a 2001 5.0 GL SX-M drive with about 1 1/2 inches of left to right steering slop at rear of drive. There is no play in the up/down direction. Is there an adjustment or is something worn out?

Not yet, got home from the lake Sunday night

Thank you Scott

I took out my boat yesterday. It's a 2001 Volvo 5.0 GL Chevy 305 with carb, Monterey 190 LS hull. Overall it ran, but had issues with unpredictable acceleration. Sometimes it did fine, other times it sputtered and hesitated. While at a steady speed it occasionally sputtered and almost died. I...

2001 Monterey LS190 with Volvo 5.0 GL, Chevy 305. Tach has a mind of its own, sometimes reads normal at idle, then goes up to 3,000 RPM by itself. Fuel gauge drops suddenly from Full to 3/4, then right back up. Volt gauge reads a constant 12.8 while running, but I don't trust it.

Thanks everyone, at least no water in the oil.

Not yet, just got the boat and starting all the service checks

Just bought a 2001 Volvo SX-M 5.0 GL and the oil on the dipstick is black. Just wondering if full synthetic is that color or is the oil really old?

I just bought a 2001 190LS Montura bowrider. Below the center windshield is a bifold door that has two plastic latches screwed to the passenger dash. Do they have to be unscrewed to close the door or does it move somehow? I don't want to force it and break something. Seems odd to unscrew these...

Thank you Scott andLou. How can I maintain the exhaust manifolds, is there a way to see if they are wearing out? I assume the water jackets get thin and eventually rust through?

I see a lot of these that are rebuilt, and some with water in the oil. Are these engines reliable long term?

4.3 in a 21 foot is underpowered. 4.3 18 ft, 5.0 minimum in a 21 ft., 350 SBC is better in that size boat.

I recently read that boats with fuel injection may have parts that are not available, specifically control boards/computers for the fuel system. One boat in my area is for sale because the injectors will not spray. Does this mean owners have to switch to carbs or is there a workaround such as...
