    Drain Seals Change on DPs?

    Previous versions of the DPs included an o ring on the gear drain bolt. Now instead of the the o ring I see a series of washers and magnets on the diagram on Volvo Penta store. Anybody have any input on the change? My unit is the DP-S1. Thanks.

    Boat lift advice

    Alright, good pics and now I have a better idea of what were looking at. I can't take credit for the attached as a friend worked it up. Based on what you stated the boat weighs 10K lbs and assuming there are 4 supports, the 5/8" bolts are A307 or better, and the lumber is southern pine or...

    Pinion Bearing Carrier disassembly - DP-SM

    All, A year ago, I paid a mechanic to replace the seal along with the crush sleeve and torx. Pretty sure that didn't get done correctly as I can easily turn the input shaft with little resistance (understand that I need 9-14 in lb rolling torque). Question is can anyone give me a heads up on...

    AGM Battery Charging?

    Gents, I have a Schumacher SE-5212A charger and recently purchased 2 smart start 31 AGM marine batteries. I have looked through the manual and it does not appear that it specifically calls out that it can be used to charge AGM batteries. Also, I have done a little web searching and some say...

    Onboard 2 Bank Battery Charger

    All, I currently looking at adding a 2 bank charger to my boat. My concern is do these chargers cause any backfeed due to the connections on each battery. To better illustrate, I am currently using a battery switch with off, 1, 2, and both selections. With the charger installed and my battery...

    Sea Water Pump - Normal Wear

    Just changing out the impeller and making sure this looks like normal wear and I noticed that one of the cam fingers is bent back a little. Is this of great concern, should I try and bend it back? It also looks like the PO used the screwdriver method do get the old impellers out. Thanks!

    Is it worth it? '98 Larson 5.7GS DP Lower Transom Rot

    Re: Is it worth it? '98 Larson 5.7GS DP Lower Transom Rot Guys I'm currently considering moving the boat. When I say move, I mean 160 miles worth. Is this a really bad idea considering that I have not put the stringers back in? The boat sits on bunks, not rollers, on the trailer.

    Re: Is it worth it? '98 Larson 5.7GS DP Lower Transom Rot Transom installed!!! I must admit I thought I would use much less PB. I saw frisco's post of 3 qrts and thought I would use the same. Well that was way off as I mixed up 12 qrts and used close to 11 qrts. All in all, I mixed it up...
