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

    What do you mean? Most threads that I have read just use marine 4000ev or 4200 FC apply it into the screw hole then seal around the item you are installing. Both have bonding and sealing properties.

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

    Yea I was going to reseal everything with Marine 4000 / 4200. However need to wait later this week for the temps to warm up again. In the Meantime I am going to see if I have the transom inspected. I don't understand how to inspect the transom. Is that from outside of the boat or inside of the boat?

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

    Here is what my plan is for today. I am going to remove the screws from the swim platform support bar and aftermarket LED lights next to them to see if any water comes from there. I don't feel comfortable drilling any holes into my boat as I don't know where I am suppose to do that. I'll consult...

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

    Nevermind I said screw it and made the drive. Here are the results, I was able to weigh the trailer and boat. Boat is full of gas with 79 gallons. Total gross weight was 8240lbs minus the 79 gallons of fuel. (474lbs). So about 7766lb. Now I need to subtract the trailer weight not sure what that...

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

    Yea I think taller Riser is the next move. I saw that same kit with the Y Pipe it's a great price however it doesn't work with my GXI-E based on their description. I'll call a few Volvo shops on Monday and see if I can get the part numbers that I need for the kit. Or just buy the taller risers...

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

    The engine was purchased threw a distributor in MA, Marine Engine Inc and came from Eagle Engine Sales. Here are their specs on their website. When I spoke to Eagle Engine they said that it all done to spec from GM. However my understanding with my Original OEM Volvo Penta 320hp motor is that...

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

    Agree it's just frustrating and need to figure out what to do next. I appreciate everyone's input tho. I guess getting the hull inspected would be next. The only other thing different here is the engine. So if the ECM is causing something weird issue under a certain load because this a generic...

    Looking at the pics from Chapparal it seems like the swim platform is all OEM as well

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

    What parts do I need for the flapper, I am assuming this would be a custom job? Same questions for adding the higher risers? Do i just replace to higher risers or can I add an extension? The swim platform I believe is from the factory, I can't believe that this issue would be been happening...

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

    Here are all the videos and photos from today. I rechecked were the water line was this time once I put the boat in the water today at the ramp and those drain holes were above the water this time. So maybe it was just the windy conditions on Monday which made it seem that they were slightly...

    Here at esome videos, we didn't get the two times it stalled but maybe this might give some people an idea of what's happening back there when slowing down. https://photos.app.goo.gl/crvF5Z2ppMUx4GBL7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/ynnyNiwE8ptxU69y7

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

    Nice info. So wonder if my boat is setting lower now because the hull could be water logged, which would explain why my water static line isn't to spec. Got some more testing to do. My Volvo tech thinks I am being paranoid about the risers as he already confirmed that the ones installed are the...

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

    Oh man... I hope not. So if my boat is sitting lower then that could be the reason why the static line is out of spec. I guess I should weigh first before spending money on higher riser. Also if going with a higher riser option can I just purchase the extension? Do I need to get the higher riser...
