    Volvo Penta stiff steering

    I disconnected the steering cable from the cylinder. I can move the drive from side to side slowly, any sudden push or pull locks it in place. Will move once more to the oposite way and back, but only alowly. I assume that is normal due to the movement of the fluid, which you can hear in the...

    Volvo Penta stiff steering

    Yes air was bled out when the new pump was installed early this year. Stiffness present randomly in both directions. No leak on cylinder or pump. Plenty of Ps fluid on the reservoir. Not sure if it helps but i tried moving the drive by hand from side to side and it moves then locks in place...

    Volvo Penta stiff steering

    Good morning all, i have noted after dring the boat around and comparing to my previous boats of the same type, that the steering feels off. As the boat steers it suddenly feels stiff. 5.7 VP with new PS pump trans fluid. I checked all the lines and no leaks present. I also checked the steering...

    5.7 Switched 12v

    If anyone can advise what the correct idle rpms should be? Right now i have set at 800 when fully warm, i have a feeling its not right, as in too high. Not liking the loud clunk when going into gear. Any input?

    5.7 Switched 12v

    Here is the breakdown, 1. Key-On Prime With the key turned ON but engine not cranking, the Sniper ECU closes its internal “prime” circuit for about 2 seconds. This drives the fuel-pump relay just long enough to pressurize the rail. 2. RPM-Dependent Run Once you crank and the ECU sees a...

    5.7 Switched 12v

    Good question, the engine stalled several times due to low voltage from the battery. I had connected the sniper to the secondary battery while i had the switch on the primary. Every time that the engine stalled (due to low voltage from secondary battery) the pump shut off with the engine. Not...

    Thank Scott, Would it be ok to tie both wires to the purple? Or just one and hunt for a secondary ignition wire?

    5.7 Switched 12v

    This question might seem crazy to some but i admit i am not a electrical guy. I ditched the carb after much suffering and installed a Holley Sniper 2. The wiring diagram requieres a "switched 12v red and a pink" to be run to the key. That is unreasonable on a 30ft boat. The question is, what...

    Volvo 5.7 rough idle

    Hey folks, i have a 5.7 with a 1409 Edelbrok carb that has a rough idle/shake. Engine evens out once i give it the slightest throttle. The engine has new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. I am not really a carb fan or much knowledge about them. What could i start looking at?

    Volvo Penta Dpsm prop play

    Can anyone advise if this play in the props is "normal"? I do not recall this from my prior prop removal and installs but i could be wrong. Rear prop was re-hubbed about 3 months ago. I just got the props back from balancing and repairs. No leak from seals or water in gear oil. Either i took my...

    Lewmar v700

    I inspected the shaft and it was slightly bent. Ordered and replaced. Being the first time with a windlass and really not too savy on them the question is, what would be the correct position to keep the red fall safe lever? When the fall safe lever is fully engaged, the clutch does not go down...

    Lewmar v700

    Hey guys maybe someone can shine some light into my issue. I purchased a used lewmar v700 in good condition. I did the wiring and so far all good. The issue is the v700 will come up but when i click for down it grinds and does not let the rode or anchor loose. Prior to install i changed the fail...
