    trim rams on volvo sx

    I have a 99 volvo penta sx. I removed the pin that holds the back side of the hydraulic rams on so I can tilt the trim cylinders up and tie them out of my way to remove the outdrive. When I removed the pin I looked into the hole that it just came out of and noticed a spring hanging down from the...

    Gimble bearing replacement

    Hello All, I have a 99 volvo 4.3 with the sx drive. I have been trying to pull the outdrive which is no big deal but getting the tilt rams off is a different story.

    one more question and that should do it

    99 crownline 4.3 volvo i/o. My question is on the throttle control there is a small push button. It's not for the trim, gas or gear. To tell you the truth it may not be anything but it is a button that you can push in. Does anyone have an idea what it is? I'm hoping it's not a button from he**...

    4.3 volvo gl to fuel injection

    Is it possible to convert my carb over to fuel injection? And would it be worth it. I'm not sure what kinda hp gains I would see or would it be better to later on swap it for a 305 and would a v-8 swap all match up to my volvo sx outdrive? Are the engine blocks identical to thier auto brother?

    I have a 99 crownline with a volvo 4.3 and volvo outdrive. The ehaust bellows is in half and I was wondering if the exhaust dumping in front of the prop could be causing a vibration at certain rpm's since I am probably churning a mixture of air and water?

    Exhaust fumes

    On the 4.3Gl Volvo Penta there is a large 3 or 4" flexible hose coming from the engine to the lower unit that carries exhaust gas and water from the engine. It is broke in half and the water and exhaust are leaving thru it. How important is this to be repaired and how difficult of a job would it...

    spark arrester filter

    This may sound stupid but here goes. I just had bought a crownline with a 4.3 gl and had noticed that the spark arrester had no filter unit with it. The boat would flood out easily and I was wondering if the arrester should have a foam or paper element around it. The arrester is nothing more...
