    VP 3.0 stalling

    I have a 1995 VP 3.0gl that just started choking & stalling out today. This happens only when in gear and I try to accelerate. It fires right back up and rev's just fine if in neutral but when i put it back in gear it starts sputtering and will die if i give it too much gas. Any ideas what the...

    Replacing alternator belt

    Thanks for the help! I ran a 4x4 across the gunnels and used rachet strap through the lifting eye and over a floor jack (which fit perfectly over the 4x4). A few pumps on the jack and voila!

    Replacing alternator belt

    1995 Volvo Penta 3.0gl mmda. I had the misfortune of having the alternator belt break this morning and for the life of me i cannot figure out to replace it. It appears that the motor mount must be removed. Surely there is a better way??? I hope...

    Trim ram maxium extension

    I finally got around to rebuilding the trim rams and sure enough there were 2.75 in spacers in each one! Now i get 10 inches of extension, more than enough for my outdrive to clear the driveway approach! Thanks for all of the input.

    Trim ram maxium extension

    Trim ram maxium extension

    I found out that there is max extension of 10.5 inches for my rams. Since i get only 7.5 I'm thinking there are trim limiters installed. Which means I should probably reseal them when i open up the caps.

    Trim ram maxium extension

    Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the prev owner had terminated the wires from the tilt button under the dash. And as i understand it the trim limit sensor should be on the port side and the trim sender on starboard. However my out drive doesn't have anything in the port side opening nor does...

    Trim ram maxium extension

    I've recently purchased a 1995 Crestliner with a Volvo Penta SX outdrive. Question is what is the max extension of the trim rams. If i measure the exposed ram im at 7.5 inches. This doesn't seem very high for trailering. Thanks in advance.
