    Volvo SX Gimble grease tube...

    I got on the water for the first time this year. It was 83 deg Saturday! The boat ran great, so I guess it survived another rough winter here in Virginia. After I pulled the boat out of the water and began to strap her down, I noticed my gimble bearing grease tube was not where it was supposed...

    Is it a VEC hull?

    I have a 2000 Glastron GX 205. The engine is a 2001 model. Did Glastron make VEC hulls in 2000? I can't find wood in the floors. Maybe it's just fiberglass encapsulated wood? Any guesses? Thanks

    Reolacing Manifolds & Risers

    I am replacing my manifolds and risers on my 5.0GL PEFS Volvo. The manual only says "Install Gasket". Does this require any type of gasket sealant, or does it just go on dry? I assume it doesn't require any sealant, but I really don't want to find out the hard way! :mad: Thanks

    Which Octane To Use?

    I have a 2000 Glastron GX 205 with a Volvo Penta 5.0 GL in it. My manual doesn't specify an octane for the fuel. I was just curious as to which octane is best for this engine? I have used both 87 and 93 (at different fill ups) It seems to do fine with either one. I just don't want to hurt my...
