    MARINER 2.2 questions

    This is a 1989 I believe. S/N OA857648. Are there aftermarket companies that make the fuel tanks (built in on this model)? What is the number of the points and condensor? I assume Sierra makes them but can't find a listing. What is the point gap? Sierra water pump impeller number? Sierra...

    Honda Generator on Swim Platform

    Hello, I have a 25' Four Winns Vista Cruiser with central air in the cabin. I've seen people strap a Honda super quiet generator on the swim platform so they can run the a/c at night. I am seriously considering this as a great option to stay cool in a cove on the water at night. Question...

    2000 Kawasaki Exhaust manifold hole

    I have a 3 seater 1100 DPI and there is water leaking (when running) out of a hole on the under side of the exhaust manifold. It is hard to see and feels like a hole (not a crack)? Anyone ever hear of this? Any ideas?

    Anyone out there have any ideas on how to remove/install a gimble bearing. I believe I can remove it with a GM axle bearing slide hammer puller once I get to work.....but I am searching for ideas/input on installing the new one. I can't find VP tools online. Are they the same as Mercruiser...

    2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSI w/DP-S drive

    Simple question..... I change the engine oil and filter using a 1 qt (OEM) filter. 5 qts fills it to the full mark on the dipstick. The factory Volvo manual and the Seloc aftermarket manual say 6 qts with filter. 6 qts overfills it on the stick by 1 qt. Who/what is corect? Manual...

    Fiberglass water line question

    Hello, I am a fresh water trailer boat guy. In the past, I have always purchased new boats, and they are never in the water more than a long weekend at a time. My last boat, a 1995 Bayliner 2252 cuddy would always wash up with car wash soap and look like new (even after 13 years). I wax it...

    Volvo Penta DP-S Noise in Neutral

    I have a 2000 5.7GSI with the above drive. It is an "EF" charcoal engine if that matters. It is in perfect condition, works fine, and it has 130 hours. My question (because I am picky and hear everything) is..when in neutral, you can hear a "slight rattle" or "clickity clickity" from the...

    2000 VP DP-S trim sender info requested

    OK....simple thing gone bad. Mine has 3 wires, why? Is it hooked to a module to monitor over trim? If so, will the engine run if the signal fails and reads up when the drive is down? Here's what happened this weekend. On left turns, the gage went open and the gage went to "up"...straighten...

    Eng Management System-2000 Volvo5.7GSI

    Goodmorning, On the above (with the DPS drive), how would an operator know if there is an issue with the engine system? The Seloc manual I have mentions a MIL (multifunction illumination lamp). I don't see this on my dash (boat is 4 winns horizion 248). The book also mentions diagnosing with...

    A few specs on Volvo 5.7L 280hp GSI-DPS

    I am working on a 1998 model and a 2000 model. What is the timing spec for each and is there any special detail in setting it...ie ground a jumper wire, or unplugging a plug or anything like that? On the tag(s) on the engines it says "see manual" which I don't have. What is the spark plug #...

    2000 Volvo Penta GSi 5.7L DP

    I just bought one of these and I have 2 questions. I pulled the drive to lube the U joints. There was a little water in the drive shaft cavity. The bellows are fine. With no gasket, what keeps the water out? I am only familiar with the Merc alpha and the older Cobras (which had the 6 hole...

    2004 Volvo DP outdrive removal/service

    Couple simple questions for someone familiar with these. I need to winterize one with a fuel injected 5.7L (I believe 280hp). Do the U joints need lubed or they sealed? Can you lube the driveshaft splines from inside the boat (like Mercruiser)? Where can I obtain instructions to R and R the...

    Merc 4.3LX Reverse when partially tilted

    My 1995 Merc 4.3 LX will grind and not engage in reverse properly when it is 1/2 way tilted (or more). Down or in any trim mode it is fine. It has 600 hours on it and has been trouble free. There is never any metal on the magnet when I service it, so I don't think anything is worn out. My...
