Hello all..my 2006 or 2007 GXi-g makes a ringing noise at certain rpms. I suspect it is the power steering pump because the fluid gets really frothy after a while on the water. I have also observed considerable amounts of oil in the discharge water from the bilge and from the drain plug. So far...
Hello all..I recently bought a 2007 Larson with a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI. 80% of the time if fires up as an efi should. The other 20% of the time I have to lay on the key for a few extra seconds before it starts. Not a huge deal but I noticed it was happening more often after a long outing pulling...
Hello all..I recently purchased a 2007 Larson 208LXI with a 2006 Volvo 5.0 liter GXI mated to a SX-A outdrive. The engine purrs like a kitten and has only 200 hours on the clock. The outdrive however makes some disturbing noises. At idle I can barely hear some rattle and possible some gear...

Hello,
I need to change the gear lube on my 1995 OMC cobra lower unit. My service manual specifies an OMC brand lube, but since OMC is no longer in business I was hoping to find an alternate substitution. Does anyone have any information about this? :)
I have a 1995 Four Winns with a 4.3 L OMC cobra and a cobra outdrive. It runs, shifts, and looks outstanding. When I am throttled up past halfway, the outdride creates a rooster tail. It's not a very refined rooster tail but it does throw alot of water into the air. Is this normal for the OMC...
Hello,
I recently purchased a beautiful 1995 Four Winns, Freedom. It has a 1995 OMC 4.3L GL engine with the cobra sterndrive. It runs great, shifts great, and has been well taken care of by it's previous owners. After I got it home, the first thing I did was to change out the impeller and...
