    Seeking advice regarding Volvo Penta 5.7GXi-HF fuel pump whine

    Does it whine just at certain rpm ? I know my mpi version has a whistle/whine when sitting on plane around 24 mph at about 2200 rpm. The pump noise starts a little before that coming up the rpms perhaps. Heard them all do similar though. Just between low and high pressure pumps perhaps.

    The rpm won’t be as high as 5500. Certain of it.

    260 hp

    It’s more about the torque and being easy on throttle in a state that will see high loads or conditions of strain through these things. Your 260 decaled drive gives reference to the engine behind the drive. Most usually a 5.7 4 barrel carb in particular. As said..almost certainly she’ll be an...

    Suzuki Dt16 Starter

    Hi. Hard to get parts for these days. But I know of a living and breathing example from late 70’s. I’ll have a look at it’s working. I also know that the DT14 and DT18 used the same arrangement too. If it helps

    Looks like one of the old 3.5hp numbers from early 80’s.

    Can’t Figure out Prop ….

    I’d normally agree there. But I actually happen to know. Or did know a 18ft stingray that had a 3.0 and turned a 23” laser 2 and before that a 23” black max ally. Ran well into the 40’s gps. 99% sure it was a 2.1 alpha or there abouts she had. Very slick and fast hull, some of them. Very...

    07 Merc 50hp 4str, learning to service, very boring looking engine decals this model.....

    Likely decent enough thing. Yeah. Can’t beat a 2 stroke Yamaha really. I’ve a collection of the smaller models in the garage. Can’t stop buying them for no good reason of use either !! Even have two 8hp models the same ! Getting to be worth serious money in value over here at least.

    Help Identifying a Boat

    It will be something like a jeanneau or cap camarat. Or similar along those lines. If she’s European. Certainly not a fletcher for sure.

    Help Identifying a Boat

    Hi. It’s not a fletcher. 100% certain of that. I’d look towards something from the continent or the US. I’ll have a wee closer look later on.

    No worries. Sounds like you’ve nave your mind up. Fill your boots. Was just an opinion, with the thinking that you were asking for one. I’m a 2 stroke man. Smears have been. But was lucky enough to get a bost with a newer merc from 2016 on the back. 4 stroke. What a machine it is, compared to...

    No data to vessel view mobile module

    Also. Make sure the Speedo harness from junction box to the gauge is connected the right way. It only works one way. Should be a label at each end saying junction box one end and gauge the other.

    Suspected it may be something like this. Think I may have mentioned something similar. Anyway. Good find. Can I ask if you maybe tried the speedometer plugged into a different port on the junction box ?

    07 Merc 50hp 4str, learning to service, very boring looking engine decals this model.....

    It will probably be better on fuel rpm for rpm comparison. But it won’t come close to the performance of a 60 yam 2 stroke. The yam may even match it for consumption at cruising speeds, with it likely not working as hard. Who knows. Also need to watch out for timing belt failure. They also like...

    60 efi Bigfoot won’t idle.

    If you mean pushing the key in to choke…it’s likely you might not be doing anything there…if she’s an efi. Anyway… Things I’d check, if she was my own… I’d quickly check the voltage measured at the battery, just before and up to she starts to run poorly or not at all, when lower in the rpms...

    Sure. I’d think if you prop her well…you’ll be pushing late 20’s as a given, you’d think.

    Unfortunately…many are of the thinking that this era of 4 stroke…are quite disappointing in general. In performance, appearance, appeal and loads else. Very dull and heavy things back then.

    Amazed to read that a “mechanic” has seemingly gone to all that chargeable (to you) trouble and effort…but failed to remove and properly clean the carbs. Sounds like he’s danced everywhere around about them though. The thinking that seafoam is an alternative to a good and proper carb strip down...

    Testing Starter Relay on No Start

    Take the relay off. Then test it properly across it. Should likely show about 80ohms give or take…if it’s the type I’m thinking of. What you’re testing there likely isn’t conclusive. Without knowing more details perhaps
