    volvo 5.0 Gxi-f loss of cooling water

    Sorry of this is already addressed elsewhere, but I didn't find it. Blew off the main water hose on saturday. Loose clamp (missed from winterizing). The one from the circ pump to the thermo housing (#9 on the parts diagram). All was fine when at I checked it at the dock, guess it popped when...

    2006 5.0 GXI F temperature swings

    I've had the boat for about a year, and never noticed any other reading other than about 155 (3/8 guage). Lately it's been swinging between 155 and 175, up over maybe 10 minutes, then back down again, then up, etc. Normal and I just never noticed ? Sticking thermostat? or RW pump starting...

    DP SM w/o trim/tilt limit - how far up?

    My 2006 DP SM (on a chap sig 240) does not have a trim limit switch. So I don't know how far up it can be tilted - I know there is a limit for full RPM, and I know there is another where you can scoot over sandbars, etc - at 1000RPM, and yet another point beyond which it should not be...

    My 2006 GXI-f alternator has a multi pin plug on the back that doesn't show up in any manual, dealer says it is not in theirs either. Anyone know what it is/goes to ? More importantly, there is an orange wire coming out of the same plastic loom as this plug - with a crimp on splice...

    why change exhaust bellows on DPSM

    my exhaust bellows is original from 06. looks fine, bit muddy. has slots in it (for draining) if it isn't gummy and isn't torn, why change? Volvo says 2 yrs, clearly it has lasted 7. It has slots in it, so I'm guessing it is not watertight like drive bellows. What's the harm in leaving...
