    Port motor out!

    Update on my Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi-E issue (2004 Four Winns Vista 288): After checking all the fuses and relays, I moved on to a fuel pressure test. I started with the starboard motor to establish a baseline, and the readings matched VP specs — about 10 PSI on the low-pressure side and 60 PSI on...

    Port motor out!

    At this time, I have switched over all relays and fuses to the other engine to confirm that they are not bad. Everything is working I feel I have done everything somebody can do with the fuel management system and fuse box and relay, etc. and at this time, I have to assume bad wiring or part...

    Port motor out!

    It turns. It won’t actually start. update it is now 12 hours from the last time it ran and will not start at all. Starboard motor starts and runs perfectly fine. One thing I did notice is that when the fuel pump primes because it does prime it is significantly louder than the starboard engine...

    OK, so that center valve is allowing each engine to pull from both tanks? So basically at the moment with how the valves are my tanks are not consolidated per engine?

    2004 fourwinns vista 288 port gas going fast!

    I have a 2004 four wins Vista 288 with dual Volvo penta 5.0. Picture attached. I have dual 60 gallon fuel tanks that are controlled by shut off valves in the event you want to direct one tank to both engines, etc.. I have questioned whether or not these gauges are accurate or in sync. I learned...

    Fridge shuts off when not on shore power

    Thank you for the info. My assumption was that whatever dictates the transfer from AC to DC or otherwise was parked out. Until further inspection I’m gonna go ahead and roll with that. I will try to locate the inverter.

    Fridge shuts off when not on shore power

    I have a 2004 Vista 288. Up until recently, the fridge has been perfectly fine and worked both on and off shore power. I started to notice things melting or spoiling, which led me to pay more attention. I have since figured out that the fridge shuts off when shore power is unplugged. I have...

    NEED A VP PROS OPPINION!

    Rule of thumb, no aftermarket parts… However, I am looking at a nice boat with what seems to be the only downside being Carter aftermarket fuel pumps. These seem to be considerably more money than Chinese jobs on Amazon. Nearly $800 everywhere I see them. Any opinions. MANUFACTURER CARTER...
