    Cant Get Grease to Go Into Outdrive Pivot Point. What Can i Do?

    I have a Volvo 290 outdrive. During de-winterization I noticed the steering was difficult. I disconnected the linkage and noticed it was definately hard to turn the outdrive manually. So I tried to put grease into the fitting at the pivot point, but the grease wont go in!! I know for sure it...

    How is Starter getting wet on my AQAD41A Volvo?

    I have a chronic problem with my starter motor rusting up. The pinion gear becomes rusted to the armature and my solenoid isnt able to engage it. I took it out 2 times and greased the heck out of it and it still freezes up. Is it possible in any way for salt water to get into the bell...

    Can I Run My Volvo Diesel W/Out Air Filter?

    I have a 1989 AQAD41A Volvo Turbo Diesel. I have noticed that when I remove the air filter, the motor runs so much better and faster. The turbo really winds out the way it is supposed to. It just seems like the air filter is so restrictive. The only concern I have about running it without...

    How do you know if the turbo on diesel is working full force?

    I have been noticing a reduction in performance with my diesel and i suspect a few causes. I think i may have a too high of pitch wheel and im sure there is some growth on the bottom. Also the diesel fuel in my tank is from last season. However, I have also noticed that I dont hear as high as...

    Do Sea Water Pumps Come Pre-Packed With Grease From Volvo?

    I just got a replacement sea water pump for my AQAD41A diesel and I see some grease on the shaft, but I don't see any visible grease on the bearing. I'm just wondering if they put grease on the bearings in the factory. I wouldnt imagine you'd have to take it apart just to put grease in there...

    Volvo Sea Water Pump Question

    I have an AQAD41A volvo diesel and my water pump has sprung a leak. I suspect that it is just the O-ring, but I am not sure how to take the pump apart. Do I need a hydraulic press to get the shaft out? Is there any other special tool needed, or can I just unbolt the pump from the engine and...

    How do you install A5 props on a Volvo 290?

    I have a volvo 290 outdrive and im trying to install A5 props. I know the larger 3 blade goes on first, but when I tighten on the "nut" after the first prop, it makes the prop not spin easy. Am I missing a part or is it that I am tightening it too much? Also, I have one of those "line cutters"...

    How Do You Bleed the Trim Hydraulic System?

    I just replaced my trim motor/pump and it works fine except it seems now that I have some air trapped in the system. As I raise it and lower it, the motor will whine and seem to be pumping air. It does this intermittently. I tried lowering it and raising it a few times, each time removing the...

    Just replaced tilt/trim pump.....something not right

    The trim/tilt pump for my volvo 290 was leaking so I went to a boat yard and found an exact replacement. I installed it and filled it with fluid and it works, but while i'm trimming the outdrive up, it will suddenly stop lifting it up and the tilt motor will change to a more high pitch whine...

    What trim/tilt motor/pump for Volvo 290?

    I have a Volvo 290 and the tilt motor/pump finally went, as far as I can tell. It was in the boat when I bought it 4 years ago and it looked shabby then. There is a serious leak in the system somewhere. Last season i noticed this as I saw a huge slick off my transom. I stopped using the...
