Hello All,
Among the other winter projects going on with my Glastron 175, i have an old 4 channel Alpine amplifier that i was thinking of installing in her. Mostly because even and slow(ish) cruising speeds around 25mph i have to have the radio cranked just to hear it.
Anyway - my question...
Hi,
I've got a Volvo Penta 3.0 l connected to an SX-M outdrive that was run in salt water before i bought it, and I'm having trouble getting the stern drive apart.
So as part of winterizing, i was following the shop manual instructions to remove the stern drive to inspect everything...
Hi all,
Okay - i've been trying to chase down a cooling issue for a while now and was recently putting things back together when i realized that i'm puzzled by the configuration of the plumbing on my boat.
I've got a Volvo Penta 3.0L GS PEFS engine (1999). According to the schematic (attached...
Re: Can't Identify mystery hose
Okay - here is a photo of the manifold with the fitting. Unfortunately it isn't on the engine right now, but the hose just hung down and into the bilge off of this fitting, with a bolt in the opposite end. While i'm at it - i noticed that in the diagram, there...
Hi,
I've got a Volvo Penta GS-PEFS 3.0l engine. There is a small water hose (maybe 1/4 in. I.D.) that comes off of a brass fitting on the manifold right near the carb. On my boat the hose just hangs into the bilge and has a bolt stuck into the other end. I know its a water hose as water came...
Hi all,
I just picked up a used 2001 Glastron SX 175 with a volvo 3.0l. This is my first boat and i've made some dumb rookie mistakes that we'll have to chalk up as learning experiences. We didn't water test the boat,:facepalm: only ran it on the previous owners driveway and didn't realize...
Hi,
I've got a Glastron 175 with a Volvo 3.0l and SX sterndrive. My trim gauge always reads in the full up position. The needle moves down a tiny bit (1/8th of an inch) when the ignition key is turned on, so i know it's getting power. Is there a way to calibrate the gauge? I have no idea...
Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone would know what colour wires are supposed to go to both the volt meter and trim gauge in a 2001 Glastron Sx175? My voltmeter doesn't seem to work but there is an orange wire behind the dash thats been cut and doesn't seem to go anywhere. Also, my trim gauge...
Hi All,
I just did a pressure test on the intake section of my 1999 Volvo SX-M stern drive. I am getting water coming out of two small holes on both sides of the drive up near where it attaches to the upper unit (see photo). I'm pretty sure i shouldn't be getting water coming out here and...
Hi,
I'm new to most of this but learning my way around the engine quickly. I'm chasing a cooling problem on a 2001 Glastron with a 3.0l Volvo penta GS with an SX stern drive. I know that i need to install a clear hose to check for bubbles coming out of the impeller, but where does the hose...
Hi All,
I just purchased my first boat, a 2001 Glastron SX 175 and it appears i've made every mistake possible :facepalm:. The boat was used in salt water for the first 8 years, but has been brought up to Canada and run in fresh water ever since. The previous owner put about 30 hours on in...
