    Outdrive Paint & Prep

    I spoke with paint guy and he advise to only go with the 2k rattle clear. He did mix up my paint rattle can as well, from a sample. Bell housing and trim rams are done. Its not work of art but as long as its protected i am good with it. Moving on to the outdrive and the transom shield.

    Trim switch wiring review

    I see... let me track down the wiring to see where this mess ends up at. Clearly someone just spliced and jerry rigged without proper info.

    Trim switch wiring review

    As i was replacing my shift/throttle control i came across something that seems odd to me. New to me boat and the shift control had seen better days so i decided to replace. Also the trim up/down was not working. Upon dissasembly i noticed wires crimped together and others broken. What i found...

    Volvo Penta shift cables substitutions

    The color is not a concern for me. The cc23017 has a black barrel looking thing at the commander side. So i figuered i would ask since that one needs changing for sure. Its fun and pleasant where its located. Might as well knock it out before i have to go back there again.

    Volvo Penta shift cables substitutions

    Can someone possibly advise. I changed the throttle command on my 2001 wellcraft martinique 2600 5.7GS. The old throttle lever was stuck and in poor conditions. I managed to get a hold of a newer Volvo Penta throttle without kill switch as i it had it already just not on the command. The old...

    New to me boat with VP 5.7GS

    Yes, the carb is not looking the best to say the least. Working to get my hands on a 1409. Currently has a 2 barrel Holley and cranky indeed on startup. Oil psi states 25-30 psi which did not sit right even with new sensors and senders. I hooked a gauge to it and its reading 45 idle, something...

    New to me boat with VP 5.7GS

    Hey folks, i will like some input as to what to go over in a new to me VP 5.7GS engine to help it last longer. So far i have done a compression check on all 8 cyls and came back with 175-180 across the board. From what i can gather the boat 2001 Wellcraft 2600 Martinique has been sitting...

    5.7gs coolant temp sensor

    Correct, and yet somehow i have in the thermostat housing a spade switch and connector. I found the wiring diagram for 5.7GS and indeed does show only 1 wire connection. #15 on the pic

    5.7gs coolant temp sensor

    The one for the manifold is correct already installed. What i dont understand is why 1 wire only from factory and on the diagrams shows pigtail. That makes buying parts a whole lot of fun. Even if i where to buy with pigtail that would leave 1 wire left without a clue to where it would connect...

    5.7gs coolant temp sensor

    I gotta say, it makes no sense VP putting a part number that an engine does not have. Then again that VP for you.

    5.7gs coolant temp sensor

    New to me 5.7GS PEFS engine. I am looking to replace the coolant temp sensor on the side of the thermostat housing. When i do a parts search from Volvo Penta it gives me 3850397 but that is not the one that i currently have. My sensor is with the flat connector for only one wire and the part...

    New 5.7 issues with old(new) starter

    So far more i measured between flywheel teeth more than 1/8. I only shimmed the side closer to the block. If i shimmed across the starter it would work and when cranking again it would not engage or bind on the teeth. This way i found to to work the best.

    New 5.7 issues with old(new) starter

    Update, shims came in and first installed the .060 and this allowed engagememt but binding then installed .040 and this did allow starter engagement and disingagement. Tomorrow i will remove bell housing to properly meassure.

    New 5.7 issues with old(new) starter

    See pics of findings. First 2 pics is the hole that is closes to the flywheel and last pic is the bolt hole closest to the engine. Looks to me like a repair, Timesert or Heli.
