    Mary Island - 1000 Islands

    Hello Mary Island is only accessible by boat. The website for the island says to launch from Keewaydin, Grass Point, or Dewolf Point State Park. I talked with Keewaydin and it's true you can launch from there, but you can't store a car & trailer there overnight...

    SP-C Exhaust Bellows Saga

    Hello Everyone I'm having a problem I can't believe I'm having. It's tough to explain and I hope you can follow it. Here's the summary first: The problem is I need exhaust bellows that have the same size ends, but when I order the correct part number for the drive, I receive bellows that...

    SP-C Gimbal Grease Question

    Hello Everyone I have a SP-C drive and a 4.3 engine. I've tried to read everything I can on the forum about Gimbal bearings and yet I still have questions. The boat is a 1993 with 268 hours on it. There's no indication that the Gimbal is bad, I just thought I would check it out while I was...

    SP-C drive tilt not working

    Re: SP-C drive tilt not working Hi There is apparently a black box under the dash that is wired to the trim gauge. The number on it is 7938450-9. There is also a relay that's wired to the black box. I took pictures of everything I could think of, even though you may not need them...

    SP-C drive tilt not working

    Hello everyone Someday I hope to post when I don't have a problem . . . . . I have a SP-C drive that only tilts up about 1/8 the of the way from the bottom and then stops. It does this consistently (of course, goes down no problem). The gauge shows that it is up 3/4 of the way. I've looked...

    SP-C Upper Gear Housing O-rings

    Hello everyone . . . . I have a SP-C drive and I removed the upper gear housing to replace the bellows. I want to replace the o-rings when putting it back, but I can't seem to find a parts diagram for this model (been on the Volvo site, iBoats and several others), so of course I have no...

    430B Low Pressure P/S Hose

    Hi Wanted to replace the leaking low pressure power steering hoses and the one that goes from the cooler to the steering gear has a fitting on it. Any idea how I can get around this without buying the genuine Volvo hose? Is there a way to use a barbed fitting? Thanks . . . Brian

    4.3 Dies at WOT - otherwise fine

    Hi Had the boat out for the first time today since buying it and doing repairs. Didn't go well, but a little background first: Replaced the ignition system (new distributor, cap, rotor, coil, wires and plugs) Rebuilt the carb and took the fuel system apart and cleaned/checked everything. Put...

    4.3 Tach Problems

    Hello I have a tach that is possessed. When I turn the ignition on, sometimes it climbs from 0 (if it was at zero to start with) to 1000 or so, without the engine being started. When the engine is running, who knows what it will read - sometimes it shows what appears to be the right rpm and...

    4.3 Power Steering Cooler Line Type

    Hi I need to replace the low pressure lines going to the power steering cooler and was wondering if there was anything special about them? Will regular fuel-line type hose work? There is also a type for transmissions that is stronger. Also, any idea what diameter the hose is? Thanks . . ...

    430B Holley 2010 - Carb Mixture Screws

    Hi The ends of the mixture screws are not perfect (that's an understatement) because I think someone torqued them down to 100 ft.lbs, rather than screwing them in gently until they stop. Anyhow, I need new ones and even though I have the parts list for the carb, it does not list part numbers...

    430B Picture of timing marks

    Hi One of the problems I mentioned in another post was that I couldn't read the timing marks. It looked like the whole area was corroded, but in fact it was just the paint that was a mess. I used some paint stripper and a wire brush and voila - I have timing marks. In case anyone has the...

    SPC - Forget the prop, can't even get the cone off !

    Hi I have a 430B engine with a SPC drive. In all likelihood, the prop was put on at the factory in 1993 and never removed. The second owner had the boat since 1994 and he hasn't removed it. So I took the Allen screw out of the cone, thinking I will have a huge problem getting the prop off...

    430B - How to hookup a tach for timing

    Hello The last time I used a tach (dwell/tach) was when I had a Pinto in the 1980's (yes, I admit I had a Pinto). I have to do the timing and I understand the instructions, but have no idea how to hook a tach up to get the correct rpm's. Also, the only thing I have that resembles a tach is the...

    1993 430b Spark Plug Wires Discontinued

    Hi Went to the local Volvo dealer today and after quite a search, he told me the wires were discontinued from Volvo and were no longer available. He also had no aftermarket equivalent. Does anyone have any idea where I could get a set? Also, I've read there are different distributors for this...
