2005 SX drive, on the dipstick on the top of the drive, how much fluid is represented from the bottom of the flat to the top of the flat...ie if I wanted to "top it off" from near the bottom to the top of the flat, how much would I add...I am assuming it isn't much...and I don't want to overfill...
I don't know, that is a pretty steady "racket" and very consistent at the engine RPM just to be some clatter, but one thing is for sure, either it will stay the same and not mater, or if it is a worn joint or bearing, it is going to get worse...
anyone else have an SX drive that makes noise in...
So, I did some investigating today…the noise is NOT coming from the engine…I am 99% sure of that…used a stethoscope all over the place. The noise is in the back of the boat, drive shaft, U-joint, gimbal bearing or something in the drive…sound recordings are attached, if I can figure out how to...
yes, it is a rhythmic 10 hz, 600 rpm noise, sometimes a little click like, but mostly a fast thumping, like you would think of with out of balance machines. I will try to get a recording...
So this weekend, when it warms up a little outside, I am going to do the following...
1 check the engine mounts and what they are bolted to...both front and back
2. check the drive shaft where it goes into the coupler, see if it is spinning true. I can see it from the top back of the motor
3...
Never say never, but I am pretty sure this noise is somewhere behind the motor...in the drive shaft for drive...I will double check though. As for the motor itself, it is running really smooth...no missfires...probably going to replace all of the rotating parts...unless someone can point me in...
So it is on a lift, any testing is easy... this morning I ran it in the water , it is a louder thump thump thump when NOT in gear, doesn’t seem to mater much with steering angle or trim angle, maybe when the steering is hard over it is a little more... IN gear, it is less noticeable, but there...
ALSO, and I will just mention it here, it might deserve its own post, Maybe it is related, maybe not. WHEN IN FWD DRIVE in the water, I get a vibration (shaking) at "fast Idle. from about 800 to 1200 RPM, the whole boat kind of vibrates (shakes), almost like I am hitting a natural...
Alright, so, the bar was much easier to push in once I "aligned" the motor, based on what you are saying, I might not have done it completely right, but I think it is closer than it was...I will have to try again next time...before I lifted the front, it was very difficult to even get the bar...
So to walk down the questions ...
Noise was there before the alignment/drive removal. I greased the gimbal bearing and checked the u-joints...looking for the reason for the noise.
Alignment...checked it as part of pulling the drive for service, the alignment bar would not turn easy, raised...
2005 5.0GXI with SX drive, hard to describe, I am getting a light thumping or chugging sound from what I think is the outdrive. Stays the same in or out of gear - forward or reverse, and doesn't seem to change with trim position or steering angle. Only really notice it at idle speed, off idle...
2005 SX and 5.0 GXI, Which Grease should I use when reinstalling the outdrive? I was expecting a THICK sealing grease, but the shop manual said "Apply a light coat of Volvo Penta Grease P/N 828250 to tapered end of pinion bearing carrier." I have 21347121, which is the same grease in a larger...
2005 fourwinns 190H, 5.0 GXI with SX drive. Can the front of the engine be raised 2-3 inches without unbolting the transom? Next service I need to fix the engine mount and if I could slide the mount out I could probably fix it, or replace it, but I don't want to pull the whole motor...the...
Fun Times,
Thanks for the suggestion, however, I already do that for a cold start, somewhere I read that one cycle on the Volvo Penta was not enough so I have always done two for a cold start...
I am thinking I may have a marginal IAC or MAP sensor...
Hello again, so I have a question about how my 2005 5.0 GXI is starting. On the first start of a cold motor, it instantly turns over (starts), but then in about a second, stumbles, almost stalls and then catches itself and revs up to about 2K rpms and then settles down to 600ish rpm idle speed...
So, 2005 5.0GXI-e, I think the valve cover gaskets are weeping a little, when I changed the plugs, there was oil down each side. I haven't looked too closely, but can I remove the covers without removing a bunch of other "stuff", ie risers, fuel lines etc? how involved is it? Any particular...
Four Winns with a 5.0GXI-e, SX drive, So, boat was FINE just a couple of days ago, all around the lake...but tonight, start it up and after a minute I get a little bit of what sounds like a belt squeak. Don't think much of it and figure it will go away in a minute...It has a similar noise every...
So how much free play is ok for a boat, 2005, fourwinns 190h, with the Volvo Penta SX. Seems like there is a lot, with the boat OFF, I can move the top of the wheel through 4 inches of dead band... is that right? Cable? Helm, or just the way it is?
So what would cause a pulse in the steering wheel, only at idle speed, and only when turning the wheel, not when holding a turn or straight, so only when MOVING the stealing wheel At idle. 2005 four winns, 190h with Volvo 5.0 gxi. Steering is good and smooth at speed, and no vibration or...
