    Is the Volvo cannon plug wired in the same configuration as the Merc? As in, are the wires in the same clock position. Looking to simplify the motor harness since I'm converting to carb. Hardin makes a Merc style engine harness that might work...

    5.7 Automotive Intake manifold

    I'm in the process of gathering the parts to change over my '94 5.7Gi from TBI to Carb. The cost of marine specific intake is double the cost of an automotive manifold. I understand the marine has brass water passages, but other than that, why couldn't I use an automotive manifold. The boat is...

    '94 5.7 PHUS TPI No Fuel Pump Power

    Had a selector switch take a dump. Replaced and now I cannot get the fuel pumps to cycle. Breakers are good. Ran fine before the switch went bad. The high and low pressure pumps used to cycle when I turned on the key. Now nothing!

    Wiring a Guest ACR

    I'm in the process of a total rewire on my 24' Albemarle. Volvo Penta 5.7 Gi. I'm confused as to the wiring of the ACR. I currently have a Perko 1/2/Both switch and am adding a Guest ACR.

    VP Tilt/Trim Relays

    I am in the process of cleaning up the motor bay on my '84 24 Express that has the VP 280 DP/PT drive. This drive does not utilize the tilt motor, just twin cylinders for tilt and trim. Unfortunately while servicing the trim pump, both the hydraulic lines at the bottom of the pump were so...

    Gear Ratios - Confused

    In the process of refinishing my AQ280 -DP/PT. I'm confused as to the proper gear ratio of the upper gear unit. The tag is in pretty bad shape, but it appears to be a 1.61:1 ratio. From my reading of this forum, I've been led to believe that the 1.61:1 is for a V-8 application. I am running a...

    I'm going to take a look at a 84 Ablemarle 24 Express this weekend and would like to get a little input. I currently own a '79 formula 233 that is in need of a lot of work. I have always been partial to the Formula/Ablemarle/Bertram 24 degree hulls because of the ability to handle a decent...

    Trailer Rollers?

    I'm in the process of replacing the keel rollers on my '79 EZ Loader trailer. The problem I'm having is all the rollers I've found use a 5/8" axle and my trailer has 3/4" axles. Does anyone know where I can find the right rollers?
