    Trim ram maxium extension

    New style volvo bellows

    Last bellows I put in were the new style. I was impressed with them and would put them in again if I ever have a Volvo again. I change bellows every 5 years just like DonS always recommended.

    Neighbor that hasn't returned tools

    Pontoons - Growth from being slipped...what is it?

    My pontoon has the identical deposits. I just live with it. I have tried acid and other chemicals. If I ever really want it off, it will have to be with a sander. Mine is moored in Big Bear Lake from April through October, but previously, it was in Havasu which is where it got most of it.

    Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-D Choke/Starting Issue?

    Volvos get the electric choke form the AC output of the alternator which is why you need to measure AC with your meter. Look at post #11

    About to do my first VP SX outdrive service and have a few questions

    You can just put some grease on the lip of the bellows. Make sure you replace the o-rings on all the oil plugs. There are 3 of them including the dipstick.

    Bravo 3 outdrive not draining

    When I drain my Bravo 3 drive, the lube bottle also drains at the same time. When I fill, I fill from the bottom until it reaches the vent. Install drain and vent plugs and then fill the gear oil bottle.
