    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    Here is a new video from yesterday after installing new belt. Looks like things are better aligned and isn't rubbing on that belt tensioner as much. The only thing I notice is that the power steering pulley has a slight wobble and the idle puller is flush on one side and has a lip on the other...

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    Yea I thought so too. So not sure what could be causing that problem? Maybe I might have not have the belt aligned correctly?

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    What do you mean by putting a straight edge across them? Here is a video of the belt running from a few weeks ago as well - https://photos.app.goo.gl/dj86wtwfczTG9bxy8

    Volvo Penta Drive Belt - Lots of dust and quickly wearing??

    Hey Guys, I have new Pulley, new water pump, new circulation pump pulley, new belt tensioner, new power steering pulley and for some reason my belt is melting away pretty quickly (It's making a squeaking noise already). There is so much belt dust in my engine bay. I have about 60-75 hours since...

    Waste Tank Level Indicator - Options?

    I have flushed out the system serval times and emptied it. It has never turned on since I purchased the boat last year, so I don't think it was working just another project to add to the list on this boat :/

    Waste Tank Level Indicator - Options?

    Not Obvious to me. Could you be so kind to circle where in the picture I would have to clean or what I need to repair? Also How do I remove this ? Do I need a special tool or is there a trick or something?

    Waste Tank Level Indicator - Options?

    I have a 2004 Chaparral 260 SSI which has a waste tank and waste tank level indicator. I believe the display took a dump (no pun intended) and I'm see what I can do to replace it? Anyone know of any good opitions that I might have? A quick search online kept taking me to this DTM-04...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Yea I agree. I might try that flapper again just wanted to make sure we got the issue resolved. Ill do some testing with a hose and see what happens with the temps outside the water. Then do some runs in the water and see if it starts to overheat again. Might have just been an initial thing when...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Wasn't the kill switch we checked this serval times. The ignition would just shut off randomly while cruising slowly. Never would die when moving fast 3k-4.5krpms and taking sharp turns etc. Yea I didn't think so either but I think my boat is still sitting low which would make it much easier...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Yea so 4 days of back to back testing and it has been running solid no engine dying out. So I guess it was an electrical issue. Combination of lose distributor cap and ground wires. Replacing that old ignition coil definitely helped as well I believe. I just didn't think that just cruising at...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Put another 2 hours on it yesterday with no issues and plan on going out for 5 hours or so today. Here are some pics of the Old Ignition Coil that I replaced. Pics here https://photos.app.goo.gl/Hk2cAa7DyRo3vur87 Only Thing I noticed was that my Starboard Side riser was warmer then my Port...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Remember those flappers were at the top of the y pipe by the risers. This flapper that i installed replaced the exhuast tube where the outdrive is. Pics here https://photos.app.goo.gl/woZRc8XnfDJxJnBi6 I think maybe when putting the boat into the water from the boat ramp water pushed up against...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    The engine doesn't shut down right after coming off plane if that was the case then water coming in from the exhaust makes sense. This happens a few mins after coming off from plane NOT immediately. Sometimes it's a minute after, sometimes 5 mins after sometimes nothing happens.

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Installed flapper and it started over heating. We rev'ed it past 1k rpms and the engine started to cool down a little bit but didn't want to risk it over heating out in the water. Took the flapper back off and put the exhuast tube back on. I went out with a new mechanic that I hired and couldn't...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Yea i think that's the plan. I ordered ordered the flapper it's coming in on Tuesday. I need to call the Volvo Penta dealer and see about those valves to see how long it would take to get those parts just so I have them ready to go incase i need them. I rather have them and return them if I...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    This is making sense now. So the back flow when slowing down is filling up the Y pipe with water pretty high and I could be having some reversion at lower RPMS which could be sucking some of that water from the Y pipe into the engine which is why it's happening a few minutes after getting off...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    how the hell is all that water then getting up into my engine from such a small diameter hole. that is crazy. I think a flapper there would definitely help. Something like this would be perfect. Link here. It can go inside the tube so I won't have to remove that and it would add additional...
