    New to Volvo family

    The issue is that idling in the water, the SWL is at least 8" above the crank centerline of the motor and the impeller is flooded On hoses and using muffs, you need more than 30-50 psi to get the water to the impeller. Use duct tape if needed

    You may have to make up a surrogate for the ladder pocket when you move the nest. Then slowly move the surrogate away from the boat Did that when robins made a nest in my extension ladder when I lived in Wisconsin, and again down here in Florida with a cardinal nest

    Hole shot

    Or 15x15p. The issue is getting that large drag load moving. You need a bit of slip to get the RPMs up, and a low enough pitch to pull the load. A single skier is a 400# load. A tube is up to a 2400# load if it submarines Since tubing is a 20mph event vs skiing at 30mph, I would most...

    Vinyl Plank Flooring Installation Decision ???

    Joe, you assume it holds calibration. Ours is over temp one use, and may be under temp the next. We usually set the oven and adjust on the fly for each use

    Sealing the U-Joint Bellows watertight on an OMC Cobra

    FWIW, Volvo uses permatex #3 between casting mating faces that live under water. I use the stuff for sealing gearboxs for work, I use it as a thread sealer and retaining compound. I use permatex #2 or #3 on the outer edge of seals. Either would most likely work. I would be tempted to use 3M...

    Hope you have better luck with the stove/oven than we had. We have the same one. Get an oven thermometer because it will be off. We do love the upper oven for most of the meals

    Water in Oil

    Barr is one of the casting houses for Volvo Penta, Mercruiser, PCM and others aw well as Edelbrock. So they have pretty good stuff. The batwings were a bad idea dreamed up by accounting. Core shift meant the walls were either paper thin or really thick they only lasted a few years in production

    Water in Oil

    any cranking compression way above 150 is either water or oil in the cylinders, or a bad gauge. verify your gauge, however I bet if you pulled all the plugs and turned over, you will find that water comes out cylinders, 2, 4, and 6 all bad on one side would indicated cracked manifold or failed...
