I just bought a 07 Chaparral with a Volvo 8.1 and sx stern drive. I am very happy with the boat but i have a couple of issues. The first is when i start the boat, weather it is cold or warm, at first it sounds like it has a dead battery. It turns once or twice extremely slowly and then turns normal and starts right up. The best comparison i can think of is i remember on some of my older cars that had a conventional distributor, if the timing was too far advanced, this is exactly what it would do. If i would back the timing off 2 or 3 degrees, it would be fine. The boat has all electronics so clearly this is not something i can try. Any suggestions? My second issue is that the boat, when i drive it seems to be getting water in the hull. It stays dry when the boat sits in the water over night but if i take it out for 30 minutes, the pump comes on. Anyone have some thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
