    Volvo penta 5.0 gl not sucking water

    Started to winterize the boat yesterday. On the muffs it was not exhausting water. Got up to normal temp, still nothing so I shut it down. Changed impeller(the old one looked fine to me). Still nothing. Pulled hoses and there is no water even getting to the pump. Filled a trough with water...

    Cannot match trim motor. Clearly I am missing something. Help please!

    I am trying without any luck to replace the trim motor on my 5.0 GL PEFS, SX-M outdrive. The motor burned up, so the outdrive won't go up or down.

    First boat.... probably a dumb question

    Hello all: This is probably a dumb question that I am sure has been covered ad nauseam elsewhere, but I kind of just want some reassurance from anyone that has more knowledge than me. I appreciate any input, and if I'm doing something stupid go right ahead and tell me! I have a 2001 Larson 210...

    Tilt/Trim won't work. Boat is stuck in my driveway. Help!

    Hello All: Long story short, my tilt/trim quit working. It sort of seemed to fade out and slow down when I was raising the outdrive after I changed the gear oil. Now it won't budge. I'm trying like crazy to trouble shoot, but I just don;t have the knowledge. Please help! Here's what i...
