    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    I understand, I have a set up already to run engines out of water. I'm asking in regards to having that set up having a control box with gauges hooked to it so I can check temperatures and pressures. I have a rigged ignition and key to run engines all day.

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    Do you have the milwaukee one? If you can share what you use that would be great. I primarily work on cars but have had no need on them since I work on only a specific few makes and models and the issues are all the same on them. Boats I have worked on for a few years but as far as water in oil...

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    Do you know if they sell any kits to run engines out of the boat by chance? Oil pressure, temp, water temp gauges and perhaps a control box to increase rpms? Would it work if I increased the rpms on it with a throttle cable and shifter to get it up to temp?

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    I did not change it myself, the previous owner changed it. I'll change it out one time to make sure. It's out of the boat so a bit difficult to get it to run up to temp on a pallet since I don't have gauges installed. It's fresh water. I have not inspected anything as of yet. I was looking at...

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    Any suggestions on what to check and how to check where the water is coming in from? Oil is not milky at all aside from a small streak of white on the dipstick which is hardly noticeable. I'm not sure if its condensation or what it was. Should I start with pulling the risers to see if there's...

    Kohler 5e generator standalone starting

    Can anyone point me to videos/instructions on how to start a Kohler generator on a table? Where power should be to keep it running? Aside from the starter motor and ground. If there is any machinery/equipment recommended as well to be able to put loads on it that would be great. I have several...

    Yamaha F300 Cylinder Head Pressure Testing

    For pressurizing the cylinder head to check for cracks and leaks. Same way as you would check with any other cylinder head. I just have not found any where that sells them and/or can make them. One shop I have found had one custom made but they do not recall what shop it was since it was years ago.

    Looking to buy 1x Used 2016+ Yamaha 300XCA

    I'm looking for one Yamaha 300XCA with under 700 hours. Preferably counter rotating as I just bought a standard rotation 300. I've looked on Boat Trader, eBay, and Facebook marketplace and so far not much luck other than higher hour engines. I'm looking for recommendations on where else to...

    Where to Find Kohler 5E Generator Motor Mount / Fuel Pump bracket

    Generator is pulled already, really the worst worst was that bracket being disintegrated and the drip pan as well. The rest of the boat was in solid condition. The engine hardly had any rust. These pans are known for rusting. I have had 6/7 Boats with them. Only one purely freshwater boat had...

    Where to Find Kohler 5E Generator Motor Mount / Fuel Pump bracket

    It’s a different bracket on yours, mine is welded to the generator and that is where the engine mounts screw to.

    Where to Find Kohler 5E Generator Motor Mount / Fuel Pump bracket

    This bracket is welded on, Kohler apparently has never had a replacement for it. I’m looking for a suggestion as far as where I can get one as mine is essentially rusted out in between where it was parallel to the generator pan. I haven’t been able to find any pictures or places selling one...

    VP Volvo Penta Duo Prop Installation Problems

    I have a customer who bought a set of props, he sent me these photos of his installation… Props were pulled off one of my boats and did not have these issues that he’s showing me. I’m trying to help him figure out how the hub has somehow shifted from the point of props being removed to being...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 GL Water In Cylinders After Running

    He turned off the boat when the alarm sounded and got towed to the dock by another boat. The impeller was completely shredded so it would have climbed fairly quickly in temperature. He's had it out on the water before from what he told me and had no issues. Then a few months ago he took it out...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 GL Water In Cylinders After Running

    It was winterized by a shop and all the water was drained out, I don't see how that could be possible but I will do so. I did remove the risers and you can see that the gasket was leaking water in. It's one of those paper gaskets not the metal ones.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 GL Water In Cylinders After Running

    Hi everyone, just looking for some insight as to what could cause water in cylinders after running an engine. I ran the engine on the hose for about 4/5 minutes and turned it off, then turned off the water. I went to go start it again and this time it didn't start and pulled all the plugs and...
