I see electric steering coming on new(er) boats (at least outboards. Anyone know of a conversion kit or plans for a conversion kit for the year 2000+ hydraulic power assisted steering actuator in the Volvo Penta stern dives... the ones that leak... just replaced mine 2 years ago, already...
2005 5.0 GXI... steering actuator lasted two years, so now the cooler AND the actuator are leaking...guess I will take the Starboard riser off and change them both at the same time...actuator should have lasted longer than that... and I don't know what about the cooler would ever leak, but it...
Looking to get more top end out of a runabout... because...
Boat is a 2005 Fourwinns, 190H, with VP 5.0 GXI 270. 1.51gear ratio, running on average 3500 lb. It is an aft end heavy boat...
Props that I have and use...
1. Powertech MQS4 16 for pulling/watersports and it is great, boat is on a...
Anyone convert over from the "standard cable and helm and install the Dometic Xtreme parts. did it have a better feel, as good as a boat steering can be?
Thanks

So, my 2005 Four Winns 190H with 5.0 GXI Volvo motor is having some stiff steering issues. I just replace the helm and cable; the steering had a lot of play. Everything is "tight" now, BUT the steering seems kind of stiff. the part I put is Dometic SHT91523, and I replace the cable and helm...
All,
So, removed my SX-M outdrive for a way overdue lube change and gimbal bearing check... drained and pressure checked and put new lube in, then, noticed one of the 4 bolts that hold the shift lever "plate" or whatever it is called (next to the plug for the oil level), was loose, the head of...
Hi all,
2005 Volvo Penta 5.0 GXI-E, was doing what I thought was an easy injector change out (was having laggy performance) when one of the plastic tips and the o-ring stayed behind in the hole, I pulled the o-ring out and the plastic tip fell IN... darn it... now what, I can't see it, it is...
Hi all,
It has actually been a while since I had an issue... but, I just figured out that my power steering actuator is leaking, I don't want to take the time to "try" to replace it myself, how expensive SHOULD it be to have a boat shop remove and replace? Just wanted to have an idea before I...
2005 VP 5.0 GXI with SX outdrive, Fourwinns boat, so my over-temp alarm (little red cylinder under the dash) has started "buzzing" when the key is in the "on" position - not loud, but enough to hear it and go looking for it. Still makes the very very loud two beeps when first turning on the...
2005 SX drive, on the dipstick on the top of the drive, how much fluid is represented from the bottom of the flat to the top of the flat...ie if I wanted to "top it off" from near the bottom to the top of the flat, how much would I add...I am assuming it isn't much...and I don't want to overfill...
2005 5.0GXI with SX drive, hard to describe, I am getting a light thumping or chugging sound from what I think is the outdrive. Stays the same in or out of gear - forward or reverse, and doesn't seem to change with trim position or steering angle. Only really notice it at idle speed, off idle...
2005 SX and 5.0 GXI, Which Grease should I use when reinstalling the outdrive? I was expecting a THICK sealing grease, but the shop manual said "Apply a light coat of Volvo Penta Grease P/N 828250 to tapered end of pinion bearing carrier." I have 21347121, which is the same grease in a larger...
2005 fourwinns 190H, 5.0 GXI with SX drive. Can the front of the engine be raised 2-3 inches without unbolting the transom? Next service I need to fix the engine mount and if I could slide the mount out I could probably fix it, or replace it, but I don't want to pull the whole motor...the...
Hello again, so I have a question about how my 2005 5.0 GXI is starting. On the first start of a cold motor, it instantly turns over (starts), but then in about a second, stumbles, almost stalls and then catches itself and revs up to about 2K rpms and then settles down to 600ish rpm idle speed...
So, 2005 5.0GXI-e, I think the valve cover gaskets are weeping a little, when I changed the plugs, there was oil down each side. I haven't looked too closely, but can I remove the covers without removing a bunch of other "stuff", ie risers, fuel lines etc? how involved is it? Any particular...
Four Winns with a 5.0GXI-e, SX drive, So, boat was FINE just a couple of days ago, all around the lake...but tonight, start it up and after a minute I get a little bit of what sounds like a belt squeak. Don't think much of it and figure it will go away in a minute...It has a similar noise every...
So how much free play is ok for a boat, 2005, fourwinns 190h, with the Volvo Penta SX. Seems like there is a lot, with the boat OFF, I can move the top of the wheel through 4 inches of dead band... is that right? Cable? Helm, or just the way it is?
So what would cause a pulse in the steering wheel, only at idle speed, and only when turning the wheel, not when holding a turn or straight, so only when MOVING the stealing wheel At idle. 2005 four winns, 190h with Volvo 5.0 gxi. Steering is good and smooth at speed, and no vibration or...
So, what would cause the gas fill to “back up” into the fill neck. Here is what happened, gas gauge says boat is empty, I buy 25 gal of gas in 5 gal cans, start to fill…boat is in the water…get 3 gallons in and the pump I am using shuts off…gas is at the top of the fill neck. Check gauge...
Hi all,
Does anyone make a "performance" manifolds and risers for the 5.0 GXI? really I am looking to get some of the weight out of the back of the boat, so "lightweight" manifold and risers may be a better description. I see places like Eddie Marine and all make aluminum SBC manifolds and...
