Is it the power steering pump or the power steering actuator?
I've got a 2010 4.3Gxi-P with about 200 hours on it. I've owned it for about 4 years. This spring I found that the power steering has failed. Is there a way I can tell if it's the power steering pump vs the power steering actuator? I...
Greetings Collective, I've got a 2012 43.GXi-p with about 150 hours on it. It's been installed for two years. The problem I'm having is the boat will start and run fine for about 3-5 seconds and then turns off. I can restart it again and again it will run for a few seconds and then shut off. The...
But the internet is rather devoid of US production facilities. The only one I can find is in Malta. Has anyone else taken the SS plunge? If you have any experience would you let me know?? I'm rather excited about it.
I've got a 4.3l GXI-P

How important is it to run high octane fuel in volvo penta engines? I seem to be getting some mixed information on the subject and I'd just like to be more clear since I've bought a new 4.3L Gxi motor in this week and I don't want to mess up my new toy :D
What parts of the hydraulic rams, on a volvo DP, are responsible for allowing the outdrive to fall to the drive position over the course of a few day? Also is it something that will get worse over time?
-- This equation: boating(time + experience)/new problems=a trip to iboats.com :D
Anyway to share an experience... Last year I had an over heating problem in direct relation to my exhaust manifolds being totally occluded with rust, as is the result of salt water on cast iron. Fixed that only...
Odd thing. The serial number plate on my 4.3 GS PBYC has some how faded away. The plate is still there and intact, it's just that all the numbers are gone! Any one have any ideas on how I can figure this one out? I need the SS number to insure the boat.
Hey! I live in Ketchikan and have a few good fishing spots for halibut and other bottom fish, but I'm struggling with finding and hooking into King salmon. That being said, anyone care to exchange techniques or go out on the water?
I've never really understood why OEM parts like manifolds and risers are made out of cast iron. They are under constant attack by everything around it from salt water to high heat.
One day I came across a company in Malta that produces really nice looking manifolds and risers and I'm...
Greetings,
I've got a volvo-penta 4.3GS PBYC. The serial number has some how vanished from the plate it used to be on.
My problem is fuel. I started with replacing the relay switch, then the fuel pump. When the motor to turned to the start position there is still no power being sent to the...
I've got a 1989(?) 19' Glasply hardtop. I've been made aware that the fuel tank needs to be replaced. Doesn't anyone know where I can find an after market plastic tank? THE motor is a 4.3 volvo duoprop. Thanks in advance.
Is it okay to use Evinrude gear lube in a volvo penta outdrive? The Evinrude container isn't marked with the viscosity. I know I need to use 75w 90 though. Any thoughts?
I've got a Volvo 4.3GS PBYC. I had to replace the exhaust manifolds and risers. But now I'm not sure how to add or how much anti-freeze to add. Would someone know and be able to answer that for me?
Thanks in advance.
