    Distributor alternatives

    Thank you folks, i wanted to upgrade little by little since it will be and investment. Either way the boat will be out of use for a while for other issues so might as well toss that into the mix.

    5.7gs low oil pressure

    As a follow up to this post. I checked with a manual gauge and it tested great. It looks like the sender i had changed was either faulty or innacurate. I purchased another sender and installed. The current reading is 50 to 60 psi at idle.

    Gurgling coming from exhaust

    That is the issue..boat is not pulling water on muffs. I have put 3 types of muffs and minimal water makes to the lower hose on the impeller housing. I even taped the last set of muffs and that is the only way to get a steady stream out of the impeller. When engine overheated i was about 200 to...

    no speed then back to full speed

    5.7GS with puzzling issue. Took the boat to the water and tested and of course all goes south. The issue that i seem to have that i cannot track down is the boat will not go past 10mph. Trim down or up and still no change in speed. Also used the stabilizers and nothing. Once i shut the engine...

    5.7gs temp gauge wiring

    Does anyone have a dash gauges wiring diagram for a Volvo penta 5.7GS carbed? That might help me track down where the tan w/black and tan w/blue go at the dash.

The question would be...what is the best or preferred caulk to seal the seams in the head compartment between vinyl panels? Currently some of the seems have lost their caulk and i want to re seal...

    Bilge blower question.

    Thank you everyone. The issue has been found. I checked as advised indivially, ground and switched power. Ground checked out fine. The power feed was the issue...to a degree. I was getting a weak 11v but never 12v. I traced the wire back towards the helm where the relays reside. Before the...

The wiring was spliced and connected to the old connector and all connected back.... Not working. Checked 12v at the plug with the switch...
