    Bent bracket on raw water pump is $140? Seriously?

    Can anybody tell my why my raw water pump bracket is bent? And more importantly... why the new part costs $140? It's part #8 on this parts list. Rather than holding the pump at the starboard side of the pulley, it's bent back over the top now...

    where to get zincs?

    What's the best type of metal to use on the outdrive in fresh water? I think somebody told me magnesium... Where can I get these for the Volvo SX-A?

    Rust in my carb

    i was surprised to do a search and find that nobody has ever asked about rust in their carb. I have a twin barrel Holley on my Penta 3.0GLP-E and I'm beginning to think it's one of the ones they recalled, seeing as how i have had to rebuild it twice due to corrosion. This year when I pulled it...

    Part number for GLP-E impeller

    Does anybody have an accurate part number for an 07 GLP-E impeller? I think it's been changed twice since I've had my boat. I don't have a Volvo dealer local here, so I'm trying to find it online. P.S. I'm looking for a part number, not a link on where to find it (none of the Volvo sites have...

    3.0 GLP-E water leak... I made a pump tester

    I have a water leak somewhere in the lower area of my serpentine belt (I can tell by the way it flings water off the belt in that area) and I was suspicious that it was my raw water pump, but now I'm not so sure. I took it off and tried to build a tester for it. I basically plugged the outlet...

    Where to get parts for 07 Penta

    So where's the best place to get part numbers and parts for 07 and newer Volvo Penta engines? The sites on the forums here don't have engines that new. I just moved to Houston from Florida. I'm used to having boat parts on every corner, but you simply can't find them in the 4th largest city in...

    3.0 Volvo dead under a load... overfueled?

    Runs, idles and revs just fine on the muffs, but when I pulled it 3 hrs to Lake Travis (Austin, TX) this weekend, it wouldn't do anything more than 2500 RPMs. Idled and shifted in Forward and Reverse just fine. I had 6 Adults on the boat, so it was under quite a load. When I got anywhere above...

    Digital depth finder not working!?

    I have a 2007 Stingray 185LX, 3.0 Penta. It has a Faria digital depth finder in it, and the transducer is stuck down on the stbd floor of the engine compartment. It came from the factory like this. So about the second season of boating, it started throwing out crazy numbers in places where I...

    How to get a stuck prop off?

    Okay... so you may have noticed my other post I just posted about the TRS removal. On the other outdrive I can't get the prop off. Hadn't been greased in quite some time I don't think. How do you budge it loose? I'm going to go grab some penetrating oil and WD-40 and spray them down all day...

    How to get a TRS outdrive off??

    Put it in gear, remove prop, remove hydraulic tubes, loosen 6 nuts... I've gotten this far. Now I just can't get the dang thing to slip off. Seems like there's some corrosion around a few of the 6 bolts. I tried wedging wood in to a few diff places... nothing. How do they get these things off...

    Where to get Volvo 3.0 GLP-E impeller??

    Apparently parts for VOLVOS are a pain to find. It's an 07 3.0 Penta GLP-E motor. 107 hrs, lots of shallow driving in sand where I'm at. Need a new impeller. Anybody know where to get one from? I found a raw water pump rebuild kit that has the impeller but it's like 60 bucks. Doesn't interest...

    1983 Mercruiser 454 High Idle

    Okay so here's the skivvy. The port motor idles at around 1300-1500 when in neutral. Once I put both motors in gear they both idle just under 1000 and nice and even and smooth. But when I pull them both out the port motor revs back up to 13-1500. When I first bought the boat they both idled...

    Grinding outdrive or tranny in gear

    When I put the port side motor in gear there's a terrible grinding sound coming from the back of the boat. Not sure if it's the tranny or the outdrive or something inside the gimball. The old boat mechanic I work with told me it could either be the bearing inside the gimball housing somewhere...

    How hard to pull a 454?

    How hard is it to pull one two 454s in a 1986 30' Scarab? I guess what I'm asking is how involving is it? What all has to be unbolted? Does the tranny come with? Thanks

    Merc 454 tranny bad??

    I bought the '86 a few days ago. I didn't run it in the water before purchase because I know the guy and he's around town here, and honestly he really needed the money and I got it for a ridiculous steal that yall would hate me. So both motors run phenominally. Pretty much your standard 454s...
