    Injectors

    Hi all, I'm looking for suitable injector replacements for 2x 5.7L GI-300-J. Volvo Penta part 21141691. Anyone know of a reputable place that sells refurbished that have been tested and cleaned? I want to stay away from ebay. Any suitable non OEM replacements?

    2008 Chaparral 275 SSI 8.1 Volvo Penta GXI-J Soft Alarm Issues

    I've been emailing them and they replied that the J series (even though mine were made in 2007) takes the CAN style as you just found out. In my opinion, we are lucky as that is the upgraded one is my understanding. I think it fits more applications too?

    Tach issues

    Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but figured this issue will primarily be electrical. All, I'm having some tach issues. Port goes between 700-2000. Starboard stays at 200ish. Both are recording hours. Motors: Volvo Penta 5.7L GI-300-J. I believe the tach gets signal from the...

    Tach issues

    All, I'm having some tach issues. Port goes between 700-2000. Starboard stays at 200ish. Both are recording hours. Motors: Volvo Penta 5.7L GI-300-J. I believe the tach gets signal from the ignition coil via the gray wire. My plan was to check the wiring connector at the ignition coil...

    2008 Chaparral 275 SSI 8.1 Volvo Penta GXI-J Soft Alarm Issues

    I was actually just checking these out. There is a different adapter for years 2007 and then 2008 onward. My boat is a 2008, the engines are 5.7L GI-300-J. I'm probably thinking manufactured in 2007. Any way to check this? It isn't on the serial number tag.

    Delrin valves

    Hi all, I have a new to me Westmarine RU260 (circa 2015 I think) which was made by Zodiac. Anyway, it has Delrin valves as you can see in the picture. The problem is that you can't get accurate pressure readings because of the rubber flap valve and I can't find a pump that is suited for this...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 no spark

    What is meant by found and restored small resistances? So they ohm measured at the plug and sensors, then cleaned the terminals?

    Low and high pressure on AC unit

    Hi all, I have pulled the manual ans done some pretty extensive Google searches to find what the low and high pressure readings should be on my Dometic Marine Air Systems VCD12K, 205 31157 circa 2007. From my searches, it appears there is information that low should be 70psi and some other...

    REPLACING SERPENTINE BELT ON VOLVO PENTA 5.7 GI - 300 - J (WITH AUTO TENSIONER)

    I have this motor. If you put a wrench on bolt and pull to the right/down, it will loosen the belt. How is the motor running for you? Any issues?

    Liferail Netting Suggestions

    Hi all, I have two young children and am looking to add an extra layer of protection while on the water. From what I have seen of safety netting, there appears to be a requirement of some sort of loops at the bottom of each stanchion to string a bottom line. As you can see in my pictures, I...

    "Christmas staff fund charge" on my marina bill?

    Honestly, pay the 20 bucks. They will talk about you not paying and I wouldn't give them any reason not to secure a loose line or throw in an extra fender during a storm for being "that guy".

    Excessive fuel during fuel filter change

    Well I went the route of pinching the fuel line, then changing them out. I've never had this issue before, but the boat is on a slight incline now that it is on blocks so that may be the cause. I can't see the anti-siphon being removed, but who knows.. maybe one was never put on..

    Excessive fuel during fuel filter change

    Hi all, I was in the process of changing a fuel filter on a VP 300-gi-J and it felt like fuel was just pouring out with no end in sight. I got about 700ml or so that came out in the process before I panicked and put the filter back on. Now I recently ran the motor to change the oil. Is it...
