    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    Glad it worked out! And i too have used 'automotive' relays which are indeed the same as the 'marine' ones. Which now causes me to wonder about the SAE J1171 certification. I will have to add this to my explore activities revolving around J1171 > I get these relays are sealed but J1171 calls...

    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    I was looking around for a wiring diagram for your 5.0GL and ran across this 2020 post (link) that has one along with some good troubleshooting for a starter issue. Take note that this may not reflect your engine, see the comments about GL A, B, etc. However, the starter and relay should be the...

    1999 Volvo penta 5.7 GSI stuttering/cutting out - temp gage

    As you observed, there are two pumps to this assembly: a low pressure that pulls from the tank and feeds the high pressure that supplies the fuel rail. If this pump is same as on my 5.0 GXi there are 2 Schrader valves that you can tap into one for each pump. But as Scott pointed out the key is...

    Bad Engine Ground?

    If you do decide to cut and crimp, please research this toughly as it takes special tools (like this link). Frankly for me, I am always looking for an excuse to add to my tool collection. So, this could be a good one but probably not used that frequently; I have used my batt cable crimper...

    1999 Volvo penta 5.7 GSI stuttering/cutting out - temp gage

    These pumps do not like to pump air. And only if you have a ‘leak’ on the suction side could you be pulling in air. While possible, I suspect you are hearing cavitation (weak, sloshy) (link). This can result from a partially blocked line (from the tank pick up tube to the inlet of the fuel...

    Bad Engine Ground?

    Glad you had some good runs. Is there anything you have done to address your issue? Please confirm yes or no as it will matter for follow on troubleshooting. You can try to test the resistance between the neg battery post and a good clean (bare metal) part of the engine block. But I suspect it...

    Starter won't turn over. New starter, new battery, fuel pump runs w/ key on 1999 Chaparral 2130 SS

    Just a quick reply to keep this going as I only have a couple of minutes. Are all the battery connections (at battery and at starter and engine block) clean and tight? Do you have a multimeter (MM) or 12VDC test light that you can use? If yes, you can see if you are getting 12VDC to the...

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    It’s unfortunate you are going down this path. There are lots of good and kind folks on this forum who spend many hours every week trying to help people like yourself. Why? Because we love boating and desire to see others enjoy it as well. We understand the high cost of boating so we help each...

    Blowing 20A Fuse

    Reading thru your previous post, comments and looking at the pics I think this captures the situation: This 20A fuse and wire are not factory. It is unknown what it powers. When it blows, the engine quits and you lose “electrical systems.” I assume this means your dash / all electrical items...

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    One of my sayings is “Communication is hard.” Your comments in post 3 “motor & with the water running & propeller turning, there was no water coming up the pipe from the volvo Penta 270 outdrive” and repeated in post 6 imply you are expecting there to be a pump in the sterndrive that would be...

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    Ok so this is a good start. While I am not well familiar with your engine/drive others are and should be able to help with some more info. Let me continue to help by filling in some of it and please confirm or correct. This new to you boat started overheating on your very first ‘run’ on the...

    Starter motor metalic "ting" sound.

    While we currently cannot listen to the ‘ting’ your description does sound like the starter pinion gear striking the flywheel cover or perhaps it’s the flywheel itself ringing upon disengaging due to a misalignment. You are correct to be concerned and I assume it’s a new noise. Thus, please...

    I have a 1986 Bayliner Capri with a 4 cyl volvo engine with a volvo Penta 270 outdrive.

    Motors can overheat for a lot of reasons. This works best if you provide as much info as possible and folks will provide guidance on what to look for etc. Its then up to you to do that checking and report back and we keep going from there until the issue is resolved. Which it absolutely can be...

    Aq271 Tacho issues

    I tried to look up your new tach gauge and only came up with one that also had a digital hour meter read out. Does yours have that feature? I ask because the typical switch setting of 4, 6 or 8 cylinders is not there. Instead, it’s a pushbutton with a seemingly complex set of instructions to...

    Spray of water from exhaust manifold above O2 sensor

    Zaayer, There is some issue with posting videos and pics. One suggestion that works is to post the vid on you tube and then provide the link. With the video, I am sure folks will be able to chime in if still unresolved.

    Bad Engine Ground?

    Yes. Bad connections can cause lots of issues including the symptoms you are seeing. Corrosion can also occur on the POS side as well, so be sure to clean up both, not just the neg. This does mean disconnecting the connection and cleaning to bright / shinny where the matting occurs as Chris and...

    1989 Bayliner Capri 5.0

    While maybe a blown fuse, need year, boat and engine make/model for folks to help. Also “hooked up the battery wrong” means what exactly? I.e. did you take the battery out of the boat to charge and upon reinstalling hooked pos to neg and neg to pos or just what? Provide as much info as possible.

    Depth Finder/ CB Issues

    An intermittent issue that results fm a loose or poor connection can be frustrating to find. The good news is that since they are both effected at the same time it is a common connection between the two. If you are comfortable tracing wires (following them along) see if you can first determine...

    Running new wire to led speakers.

    Depending on what you find you may be faced with a challenge to run the power for the LED lights from the helm directly to the port side under the deck or around the bow. There is another solution: go aft to go forward. Like this: from the helm back to the engine compartment along the starboard...

    Small Oil Leak 23' VP-350-CE

    Don’t beat yourself up too much, we have all been there. One of my philosophies is if I am not making mistakes I am never learning. With a nice new boat and the spotless bilge, in this case I would check to see if it’s one of the clamps that is leaking (as Scott sugggests) and needs tightening...
