    In some to usual case's if it continuous to get a bit on the hotter side of what you know is normal under load then they are causing a blockage issue in the cooling system… I know you know that, just figured it might be Re-worth mentioning it while in here to say I hope the impeller was your...

    What have Volvo Penta done to their web site, it is a disaster.

    Oh wow, just seen that… For now then I’d recommend using iboats parts look up as they still seem to use a parts diagram with photos and part numbers below… Example, here should be the quoted engine model...

    What have Volvo Penta done to their web site, it is a disaster.

    At quick glance the VP parts website does seem to have changed a bit… I recall the VP websites out there had a few ways of searching for parts either by serial number, product number or model number type example 5.7 GXI-J, etc.. So in order to find parts it always best to input some sort of...

    I Just Bought My First Boat. 1997 Sea Ray 175 3.0LX A1 G2. WHERE TO START PLEASE HELP!!

    Alrighty fellow boaters, this thread has been “reported” and seemingly kind of gotten a few degrees off course. At this time I’m thinking it may be best to just batten down the hatches on this one and hopefully go see if someone else is in need of additional help too. As always, Thank you to...

    Anyone want to rent their prop puller?

    Sorry Mike, as a general rule, any type of solicitation questions aren’t permitted here on iboats… Keep adding Penetrating oil and let it sit a few days if possible and keep tapping on the prop her and there with a soft hammer over the course of adding oil.. it should eventually start to come...

    Vapor Lock?

    In reading these situations it would also seem as you may have unknowingly cranked the engine over several times over the course of the year while the boat is lifted out of the water and in possibly doing that has heightened the concern of compromising the rubber sea water inlet “Impeller”...

    2001 Mercruiser 5.7 TBI Won't Keep Running

    Do you happen to know if the 2 engines are connected together via a data cable running between them for communicating purposes.. Most aren’t connected but some engines are… If connected, one could be bringing the other down with it… Rare though but just in case. Aftermarket MAP sensors have...

    2008 5.7 mpi running rich and low idle, under 600rpm

    Starting right around 2007 model year Merc lowered the neutral gear idle speed to 540 rpm and some engines may bump itself up to 600 RPM when put in gear under load according to what the scan tool should mention... Somewhere in the scan tool either it was when first powering up (communicating)...

    4.3L MPI 2007 Searay Sport 185. Single Alarm at 20 RPMs and higher

    Just to double check the trim fault, on the outside of the boat on the gimbal ring of the transom assembly, how many trim sensor pucks are mounted on the ring… 1 or 2? 1 on Starboard side and 1 on port side? Both have 2 wires? Or is there 1 puck and if so, how many wires are showing? Rev...

    Slight hesitation off idle 5.7

    Being you have a backfire type event and not going over 3600 RPM and knowing water entered the inside engine, you may unfortunately have a tuliped valve or similar issue inside the engine... That and/or water in the fuel. More testing is needed to know for sure. Hoping for an easy fix, good luck.

    Underlying fault reset. Mpi

    This is normal... The plug in scan tool systems will still "show" a passed "history fault" like that until they're cleared... so as long as the fault is not active, the engine will resume normal operation all the while let's call it the live data active fault watchers keep remaining trouble free...
