    exhaust manifold removal issue

    Hi there folks, I am in the process of removing a cracked exhaust manifold and sure enough it's not as easy as I hoped for. As shown in the attached pictures the black exhaust pipe is blocking the rear manifold bolt, I know I read about doubling up the nuts tight enough to loosen the bolt from...

    Volvo Penta SX prop lock?

    Hi I wonder if someone could tell me what Propellor Lock is compatible with my Volvo-Penta SX (single prop) stern? I am looking at the McGard Propellor Lock #74039 but McGard says they don't have one for the SX. But I have read elsewehere that the lock does fit.

    throttle lever position @ idle

    In this pic the throttle lever position and the engine still running idle? I have nothing to compare it to but is this normal. Seems to me the throttle should kick in sooner. Does this indicate cable stretch?

    Volvo Penta tilt/trim pump rebuild options?

    Guys - I have a 2003 Glastron 175 SX (180hrs) with this Volvo Penta tilt/trim pump. The pump sometimes hesitates going up or down. Also the fluid container is "wet" on the outside just below the pump seals. Otherwise the pump and container are in great condition and there surely must be an...

    New starter motor bolts torque requirement?

    Wondering if someone here knows the specs on the torque requirements for the two bolts that holds the starter motor in place. I have replaced the two broken bolts with the correct new ones. Right now I went as hand tight as I could go. This is on a 2003 3.0 motor. Thanks in advance. Hans

    Outdrive trim drops when running the boat.

    Hi, I have one new and a rebuilt trim cylinder and cleaned the tilt/trim pump/reservoir. All fresh fluid and the trim cylinders are primed and go up and down no problem and stay up when stored.

    rebuilding trim cylinder SX-M

    Re: rebuilding trim cylinder SX-M Hi - I was wondering how the water would get into the system but obviously if a cylinder is leaking fluid it can also suck the water in. In the meantime I have removed the outdrive plus cylinders. I also removed the pump and reservoir and cleaned it thoroughly...

    Impeller on an SX-M drive?

    Re: Impeller on an SX-M drive? Thanks guys for the responses. I am starting to understand the system. One other question I have - I see the line going into the heat exchanger from the transom, and a line going out as shown on the picture - this line goes into the manifold but then where does it...

    Impeller on an SX-M drive?

    Hi I wonder if anyone could tell me where the impeller is on a Volvo Penta SX-M? The 3.0 engine has it's own fresh water cooling. Is it possible the impeller is mounted on the engine? Thanks

    rebuilding trim cylinder SX-M

    New here and first project, I am planning to rebuild the trim cylinders on my Volvo Penta SX-M stern drive. Been reading a few threads on the forum and there was talk about the OMC Seal Kit 985060 for around $30. One of my cylinders is leaking and water gets in thus the fluid is milky. I also...
