    Turning a glove box into a flat surface for Flushmount... HOW?

    Re: Turning a glove box into a flat surface for Flushmount... HOW? I would look at cutting the box out, make a panel similar to the glove box door and mount the electronics to the panel and screw it to the dash. Then you have access to the back of the electronics. They don't look like the...

    5.7L with no ignition. Dead as a door nail.

    Re: 5.7L with no ignition. Dead as a door nail. You have a 2000 model engine there, 12 years old, not 6. On the engine, you should have a fuel pump relay, and an ignition relay that you need to check. Since this was a rebuild from a box of parts, I would make sure all those ground wires on...

    5.7 gi-b loss of power wont go over 3000 rpms

    Re: 5.7 gi-b loss of power wont go over 3000 rpms Do you mean the fuel pump pressure is over 100? If so, follow the procedures starting at 11. There is also a warning in the manual that anything over 75 psi can damage the fuel pump pressure regulator.

    Is there a cross-reference for engine and / or outdrive serial numbers?

    Re: Is there a cross-reference for engine and / or outdrive serial numbers? No, they didn't. BUT, if it was registered correctly, you should be able to go to your Volvo dealer and they can plug the serial number of the drive, or even the HIN in and find what was installed originally in the...

    New Holley Carburetor 4160 NO START ?????

    Re: New Holley Carburetor 4160 NO START ????? Merc did use a Holley on that engine. If you didn't buy the carb specific for your 400TRS, then it's probably not set up to factory specs inside the carb. But it will be close enough to start with no problem.

    Re: intro and where to post??? joint venture four winns The T in the serial number (T0786994) indicates it's the OMC version of the joint venture. The Volvo version would have been 10 numbers long and no T. Not really much you can do with the product number, or the serial number for OMC. The...

    Where is places I can drain the water for winterize?

    Re: Where is places I can drain the water for winterize? Now you know why I go by Model or Serial number, and not boat year. You indicate the boat is a 2009-10, yet your engine is a 5.7GXi-H model (using your serial number of 4012222586) They were manufactured between 2006 and 2007, so there...
