    Fuel injector plastic tip fell into intake hole... now what?

    Hi all, 2005 Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI-E, was doing what I thought was an easy injector change out (was having laggy performance) when one of the plastic tips and the o-ring stayed behind in the hole, I pulled the o-ring out and the plastic tip fell IN... darn it... now what, I can't see it, it is...

    power steering actuator 2004 Volvo Penta SX-M on 5.0 GXI - replacement cost

    Hi all, It has actually been a while since I had an issue... but, I just figured out that my power steering actuator is leaking, I don't want to take the time to "try" to replace it myself, how expensive SHOULD it be to have a boat shop remove and replace? Just wanted to have an idea before I...

    overtemp alarm - constant low "buzz"

    2005 VP 5.0 GXI with SX outdrive, Fourwinns boat, so my over-temp alarm (little red cylinder under the dash) has started "buzzing" when the key is in the "on" position - not loud, but enough to hear it and go looking for it. Still makes the very very loud two beeps when first turning on the...

    2005 5.0 GXI revs up on cold start

    I changed the IAC and cleaned the MAP, but mine only did it in relatively cold weather, so I don’t really know if I got it or not since our cold season last only a couple weeks...I have also read where the temp sensor that is on the thermostat housing that is for the ecm could also cause the...

    Water pump screws

    For my fresh water boat, I have had stainless steel socket head cap screws in that position for about 3 years with no problem... I would defer to some that knows better if you are in saltwater.

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    Aright all, got a chance to run it around the lake today after having added a little gear lube, bringing the level up to the top of the flat part of the dip-stick...the noise is still there, and it is ONLY in neutral, as soon as I put it in gear, the noise is gone...and it is now more of a...

    SX drive Dip stick - how much to add?

    Well if i’m not supposed to screw it in, then it is lower than I thought, hitting the middle when I do screw it all the way in...probably would just touch the bottom if just dropped it in...

    SX drive Dip stick - how much to add?

    2005 SX drive, on the dipstick on the top of the drive, how much fluid is represented from the bottom of the flat to the top of the flat...ie if I wanted to "top it off" from near the bottom to the top of the flat, how much would I add...I am assuming it isn't much...and I don't want to overfill...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    I don't know, that is a pretty steady "racket" and very consistent at the engine RPM just to be some clatter, but one thing is for sure, either it will stay the same and not mater, or if it is a worn joint or bearing, it is going to get worse... anyone else have an SX drive that makes noise in...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    So, I did some investigating today…the noise is NOT coming from the engine…I am 99% sure of that…used a stethoscope all over the place. The noise is in the back of the boat, drive shaft, U-joint, gimbal bearing or something in the drive…sound recordings are attached, if I can figure out how to...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    yes, it is a rhythmic 10 hz, 600 rpm noise, sometimes a little click like, but mostly a fast thumping, like you would think of with out of balance machines. I will try to get a recording...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    So this weekend, when it warms up a little outside, I am going to do the following... 1 check the engine mounts and what they are bolted to...both front and back 2. check the drive shaft where it goes into the coupler, see if it is spinning true. I can see it from the top back of the motor 3...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    Never say never, but I am pretty sure this noise is somewhere behind the motor...in the drive shaft for drive...I will double check though. As for the motor itself, it is running really smooth...no missfires...probably going to replace all of the rotating parts...unless someone can point me in...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    So it is on a lift, any testing is easy... this morning I ran it in the water , it is a louder thump thump thump when NOT in gear, doesn’t seem to mater much with steering angle or trim angle, maybe when the steering is hard over it is a little more... IN gear, it is less noticeable, but there...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    ALSO, and I will just mention it here, it might deserve its own post, Maybe it is related, maybe not. WHEN IN FWD DRIVE in the water, I get a vibration (shaking) at "fast Idle. from about 800 to 1200 RPM, the whole boat kind of vibrates (shakes), almost like I am hitting a natural...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    Alright, so, the bar was much easier to push in once I "aligned" the motor, based on what you are saying, I might not have done it completely right, but I think it is closer than it was...I will have to try again next time...before I lifted the front, it was very difficult to even get the bar...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    So to walk down the questions ... Noise was there before the alignment/drive removal. I greased the gimbal bearing and checked the u-joints...looking for the reason for the noise. Alignment...checked it as part of pulling the drive for service, the alignment bar would not turn easy, raised...

    drive thump thump or chug chug sound

    2005 5.0GXI with SX drive, hard to describe, I am getting a light thumping or chugging sound from what I think is the outdrive. Stays the same in or out of gear - forward or reverse, and doesn't seem to change with trim position or steering angle. Only really notice it at idle speed, off idle...

    Which Grease/Sealant between Outdrive and Bellows?

    2005 SX and 5.0 GXI, Which Grease should I use when reinstalling the outdrive? I was expecting a THICK sealing grease, but the shop manual said "Apply a light coat of Volvo Penta Grease P/N 828250 to tapered end of pinion bearing carrier." I have 21347121, which is the same grease in a larger...
