    290 DP pivot pin retaining bolt thread repair

    Thank you for your replies. Pulled the boat out of storage today and blew the debris out of the holes. It may not be as bad as I thought, now that I can see in there. It appears there are some threads left. If I can find a thread chaser long enough that might be good enough.

    290 DP pivot pin retaining bolt thread repair

    Dang, never got notifications of any replies. Decided I'd better check. Not necessarily questioning if the heli-coil will be a good repair. Moreso of how do I get it in there. I will have to look again at the boat, but I'm pretty sure that is not a spanner slot you're seeing in the picture...

    I thought I had read that somewhere. But the mechanic I spoke with (I believe him to very knowledgeable) said they are also needed for electronic ignition. This would explain why all the wiring looks factory and unmolested, yet the resistor is missing. So...13 volts is fine at the ignition coil?

    1991 Volvo Penta 570A - high voltage on pos terminal of ignition coil

    I have a 1991 Cruisers with Volvo Penta 570DP (570A). My ignition coil seemed to be working fine, but I recently noticed there was a crack in the top. So I figured I better replace it before it leaves me stranded. In doing this I learned there is supposed to be a "ballast resistor" inline to the...

    Looking for info on Lucas engine speed limiters

    I have a 1993 Cruisers Rogue 2530 with a a Volvo Penta 570 DP. I'm unsure of the year of the motor/drive. It has a Lucas speed limiter installed on it. I'm looking for information on how this device works or more importantly what exactly it does. I'm questioning my WOT rpm and wondering if...
