    DP-SM zirc fitting

    Zirc fitting on my outdrive snapped off. Looks like it attaches to a tube lubing the bearing. Does anyone know how this is attached to the tube? Is it screwed in or pressed... I cant see it well enough and would like to know before i just start ripping it out.

    Hydrolocked... now what?

    I had a Volvo penta 5.0gi which I got a new long block 2 years ago. Went with a Holley carb and swapped all my Volvo parts over. So for all intents and purposes I have a 5.7 gl now. Winterizing last year I had milky engine oil. I thought I narrowed it down to the manifolds and risers. I put new...

    What are these?

    Just ordered OEM manifolds. I know the one is a plug and the other elbow is for the water hose. Which is the same as the barr manifolds I am replacing. On the new manifold there is also a drain hole in the middle of the manifold right on the bottom. I would assume one of those other goes into...

    Manifold/riser installation question

    I needed new manifold and risers. I purchased the tall 11.3" risers and found OEM for those. I went with barr manifolds. The manifolds came in today and the mounting surfaces of the manifolds are painted. Some of the paint has come off already... looks like it was just chipped off or flaked off...

    Tall riser conversion

    I had a 1998 Volvo penta 5.0gipbycce. I replaced that with a gm 5.7 but all the exhaust system is the same including manifolds, risers, y pipe, etc. I'm thinking of going to the taller risers as recommended but I'm having a hard time understanding the bulletin explaining exactly what I need. I...

    Riser question.

    Putting new risers on and I'm trying to decide if I should go with the taller riser. It was recommended by Volvo to take the flappers out of the exhaust which I did but then to put on the taller risers. Which I didn't. I cant say that I've had water intrusion but I'd like to do what is...

    Underwater lights wiring question

    Hi all! Just got a pair of Seablaze x underwater lights. I have just a basic wiring question which I'm sure there is an easy explanation. I'm running both lights off of one switch. I went with 12/2 marine wire which is probably overkill but given the length (15 feet switch to light) I figured...

They are the replacement for the "d" series and have a 4 blade front prop and 3 blade rear. Just curious if anyone has...

    1998 Volvo penta 5.0gipbycce with a dp-sm outdrive. I put the boat in the water last week and it ran ok... I gave it some juice on the way to the marina and it really struggled. I limped to the marina and looked at a few things and noticed that after changing the spark plugs I mixed 2 of the...

    Dp-sm out drive won't spin when I put props on.

    Dp-sm out drive. I installed it today without issue as per the manual. Prop shafts both spin freely when in neutral. I put the front prop on and both shafts spin easily in neutral. When I put the rear prop on they will spin normally. When I tighten the rear nut to just snug the shafts seize up...

    1998 5.0 gi fuel pressure regulator

    Hello. 1998 5.0gipbycce. I was changing the diaphragm on the fuel pressure regulator. While taking the cover off I didn't use the long screws provided and the spring pushed up against the cover and bent the tab. I can now not get the pressure regulator cover to fit flush so it is leaking fuEl...

    Correct pressure/vacuum test procedure

    Dp-sm outdrive. I had some water in the oil at the end of the season. I did a pressure/vacuum test according to the manual. Held pressure overnight. On the vacuum test I pumped to 15 inches and left it for a couple hours. After reading the manual I found that I shouldn't have left it for that...

    Dp-sm outdrive... why won't my oil drain?

    1998 dp-sm 1.95:1 outdrive. I'm not too familiar with outdrives but I guess I'm going to learn just like I did with the motor. Long story short the boat sat for over 10 years. On the outdrive I changed the oil at the beginning of the season. It flowed out slow. Yes... I removed the drain bolt...

    Vacuum test 5.0gi

    Where do I connect the vacuum gauge on a 1998 5.0gipbycce tbi. I can't figure out which hose goes to the pcc valve. There is a large hose from the valve cover to the flame arrestor. There is a smaller 3/8 hose on the other valve cover going to the throttle body just below the throttle cable. See...
