Hi,
I have a Volvo 4.3 GXi with SX-A drive unit on my Regal 1900. Unfortunately, September is the month where I need to think winterizing my boat...:grumpy::grumpy:
I've done only 24 hrs with my boat this summer and it was for cruising at 3000 rpm max. I'm wondering if I need to change the...
I must say that winterization was a big challenge as info available on the Web, from the manufacturer, Marina...etc was differing a bit depending to who you were talking too.
But nevertheless, I'm almost done but I need a last clarification.
After emptying the water (manifold, engine, water...
Another subject that seems to have different opinions...:)
What should I do with my battery during winter ?
1- Leave it fully charged in the boat where it will freeze
or
2- Remove it and store it in my house (fully charged) at ambient temperature ?
I've completed my winterization process on my Volvo 4.3 GXi-J for the first time in my life as this was the first time I had a boat...:)
After changing Oil and gas filter, I drained the water from Exhaust Manifold and Engine (4 blue plugs overall) + I removed the 2 tubes on the raw water pump...
I have a Volvo 4.3 GXi-J and I was wondering why I don't have a small hydraulic oil tank in the engine compartment ?
Few boats (Mercruser 4.3L and Volvo 5.7L) I've seen had this "overflow" tank.
How could you rapidly check if you're OK on the hydraulic Oil Level ????
I want to change my fuel filter before winter and on the engine itself, it is written part # 3847644
In the operator's manual, they say part # : 3862228
Engine : Volvo Penta 4.3 GXi-J
Serial : 4012251919
What's right ????
Thanks
p.s. : I have to learn so many things for my first...
To make sure I'm doing it right in draining the cooling system on my 2009 Volvo Penta 4.3 GXi-J , I found 3 blue plugs . One on each side (engine drain) + one for exhaust manifold.
Am I right ?
Noooooooooo ....winter is coming !!
In the process of winterizing my Volvo 4.3 GXi / SX , I read that we must add Gas stabilizer and possibly something else like oil since it's an injection (no carb) engine and Fogging cannot be done.
Am I right ?
What would be the mystery additive and what...
Hi,
I made a big booboo this summer by damaging my Volvo Penta SX fin....:facepalm:
I want to know if I can fix that myself and if so, how ?
I'm no expert in metallurgy though !!
