    Water Leak at Exhaust Flapper

    My 96 Larson 3.0 VolvoPenta is spraying water from a hole that is at the back of the plastic exhaust tube. The tube that leads from the riser to the bottom of the transom. From drawings I have seen I believe this is the hole where one side of the "flapper" mounts/fits. At first I thought it...

    no throttle in reverse

    My '96 volvo 3.0GS will go into reverse - if you try to throttle up in reverse it will die. Sometimes it will die the second you go to reverse.

    starter removal tips?

    I have a 96 Volvo 3.0 GS. I need to remove the starter to have it tested/reworked. I have not been able to remove the inboard bolt on the starter. The bolt is a 9/16 but because the space is so tight and the bolt head is right up against the housing I have not been able to get a socket or a...

    stalls @ reverse

    I own a '96 17'Larson w/ a 3.0 4cyl Volvo & a Cobra SX outdrive. Last weekend tried to back off the trailer and the engine would shift into reverse but would die. No problem restarting & forward works just fine. We pulled the tube and had a great day - but the reverse problem persisted. I will...
