Serial number of outdrive 4112057560 Volvo penta SX Cobra
305 GL Engine
I have 1999 Reinell ski boat good little boat low usage, I am looking for anyone that knows these outdrives, or had similar experiences with:
- When shifting into gear its louder than other boats I have owned with mercs.....Just a louder clank into gear is all.
Should I be concerned? I have changed outdrive gear oils...it has always been clean no shavings
- Also It seems when the engine is full bore and I turn sharp to pick up skier...the engine revs up like the prop stops turning...almost like the prop is spinning on itself....like a bad prop....I have changed props and had similar experiences....again anything gear wise to be concerned with...is this a feature that protects the boat from turning to sharp and dumping the captain?
Any tips would be appreciated, Happy boatin'
