    2004 Volvo Penta 5.0GL-E with SX-M outdrive leaking through exhaust into bilge

    Is there anything that I should do to this while it’s out like a “stupid if you don’t do it while the motors out” kind of thing?

    I am normally a 1 man band, when it comes to this kind of thing, that’s ok, if I really need help my wife will come out and help when I ask her but I tell you what, the many trips up and down out of the boat to the tractor and back and forth, don’t seem to be as easy as they were a few years...

    2004 Volvo Penta 5.0GL-E with SX-M outdrive leaking through exhaust into bilge

    This video is the first video I took with the boat in the lake. You can see it looks like it’s coming from behind the transom plate but after some research I am pretty sure that is a v-bracket and with the second video post above, I’m pretty confident it’s coming from the exhaust.

    Mercruiser 3.0 I/O bogging down

    First time to Dale Hollow Lake in TN

    Family and I are going to camp and boat the entire week of the 4th of July at Dale Hollow Lake. It will be our first boating trip (4 hr drive from Indiana) to a big lake. We are staying near Sunset Marina and hopefully will be able to rent a slip so I don’t have to launch the boat every day...
