    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    Another thing...are you sure you have the two hoses going to the pump in the proper orientation which means the inlet is the inlet hose and the outlet is the outlet hose and they aren't swapped?

    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    There is no way I would do that. If the drive is sitting in the water and idling the part could be completely cracked and it would never overheat.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    I looked back at one of your posts and see you have done this. Have you tested your thermostat yet?

    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    Personally, what I would do is, put the boat in the water, start the engine and pull the hose going to the thermostat and see if you are getting any water out of it. There is no way I would be dissembling your stern drive. You can buy alignment bars on ebay. Its the same alignmnet bar used for...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    If your boat is overheating just sitting in the water, nothing that is broken on your drive would cause you an issue since everything is under water. When you are on plane, the water is forced up the drive so still unlikley that a crack in anything would be a problem either.

    Volvo Penta 5.7 gxi overheating

    I have been doing it for years although I have a drive stand so you will need two people to do it yourself. Remove the 6 nuts holding the drive remove where the rams attach to the drive, disconnect the shift cable linkage, disconnect the hold down bolt for the shift cable and it pulls right off...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 OSI-C not staying running

    The diagram I posted is for a carb'd motor which is what I thought you had. Fuel injection is completely different. One of the relays is for the injectors and one is for the pumps. The ECU supplies the ground to energize the relay. You do not want to use a jumper to supply 12V to the incorrect...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 OSI-C not staying running

    With a carb'd motor, turning the key on should't turn the pump on. Did you actually hear it go on? What I would do is pull the fuel pump relay and jumper it to start the fuel pump and then try starting the engine. The fuel pump only runs while cranking or while the alternator is outputting...

    Whats the best hydrofoil

    I had a Doel Fin on an I/O once. It would cause me to almost spin out in a high speed turn and reduced my speed by a couple MPH. I took it off and would never put another fin on a boat.

    Ford F150 w/10 spd transmission

    Not sure what you are talking about. I am talking about Mercedes built for the entire US. My friend purchased his in Arizona. He was stranded because of an electrical issue with a sensor in his emission system that sent him into limp mode.

    DPS-b drive lifts in reverse

    He has a DPS-B drive. No idea what part you are showing. Possibly a 270 drive from 40 years earlier. http://www.volvopentastore.com/Transmissions/dm/cart_id.492644847--session_id.234054670--store_id.366--view_id.775527

    No...in reverse, the drive pulls itself up.

    Ford F150 w/10 spd transmission

    Diesel emissions have changed a LOT in the last few years. I would never buy a diesel now in any vehicle. It's one of the reasons people are moving away from the Mercedes Sprinter diesels and going to the Ford Transit with the 3.5 Ecoboost engine. People are tired of having Mercedes diesel...

    Bow of boat hits winch when loading onto trailer

    This is how my winch and roller is configured. Strap goes under the roller. You might be able to get yours modified like mine. I also wonder if it would be possible to redrill the holes holding on the winch portion to the post so it's tilted up to allow the strap to travel under the roller.

    Ford F150 w/10 spd transmission

    Kinda interesting you think the diesel was that much better pulling. Torque for the Ecoboost is 470lb-ft @ 2,500 RPM. Torque for the EcoDiesel is 420 @ 2000 RPM. Maybe it reaching the peak at 500RPM makes a ittle difference but the Ecoboost has 50 more lb-ft of torque overall. They cancelled...
