Its probably a BY or an LK. Either one of those will use the same water pump. More than likely a BY. I don;t think they used the GM engine in LK model. Volvo part number 3857794...

If that's the case, you my possibly want to replace the risers at least. I believe in only buying OEM manifolds/risers. When DonS was still here(RIP) he also only used OEM.

Your manifolds and risers look fine. I assume this a freashwater only boat? I would not bother with a flapper at all. My boat sits just as deep as yours in the back and I have had very large waves hit the stern and never had the same problem as you are having.

My friend, who is an ME, does product liability investigations. He represents the manufacturers. One of his cases was doing expert testimony on a Sears air compressor. The tank that exploded was due to rust damage from the owner who never drained his tank. The tank will explode long before a...

I have an auto drain on my compressor. You hear stories of people who never drain their compressor tanks. They are the ones that have problems with their tanks.

You can use pretty much any kind of grease. The grease itself isn't acting as a seal. It just allows the cone of the drive to slide inside the rubber of the bellows easily.

Exactly....want to know if it's the new engine introduced in 2016 or not.

My bet...he stripped it and this was his hack fix.

Would be nice to know which engine he has before we start troubleshooting.

If the holes didn't align right, there would be no grease going in past the ring...he is getting grease past the ring.

If grease is coming out on the inner ring, you installed it correctly. I agree you need to rotate while greasing.

Do you hear the solenoid click when you depress your switch?

Absolutely positive. The 290 and older drives are completely different Starting with the joint venture with OMC on, always from the bottom.

Yep...filled from the bottom. I would be worried though if you were down 1/4 of a qt though.

0.035 Check dwell and timing as well. Replace the points if you don't know how old they are. Dwell is 36° ±2° Timing 10° BTDC

I have the exact same boat and trailer. It is not with me right now but I am pretty sure its a 175/80/13 Even the load ranges C or D have a ton of margin. No need to do a load range E. That boat often sits on a single axle trailer with the same tires.

You are going to need to specify which 6.2 you have. The newer Merc 6.2 or the older GM 6.2.

Those numbers are lower than mine are with a 7.4L engine. You do need to see what they are after running under load. BTW, with an IR thermometer, you want to be really close to the thing you are measuring the temp of. They have quite a wide angle so if you are too far away, you are getting an...

You likely have a BY or WT model . If you look at your model number, it will tell you. I actually have a set of PDFs for an LK which is before the BY.
