    DP-SM prop shaft seals replacement

    I need to change the seals because of a slight contact I had last year with the bottom of the lake. Props are not bent but only small dents that got repaired. But since then, I have water intrusion in the outdrive. Not a lot, the level remains constant on the gauge, but the oil turns yellow. I...

    anyone have luck with aftermarket v/p fuel pump assy?

    I do. When my HP fuel pump died, I ordered a Carter one using the number on this forum, but the hose fitting was different. So I ordered a chinese Volvo complete assy for like $200 and it is bolt on and has been running fine the whole season.

    Efi flooding

    Here is what I think, I may be wrong... A V8 will start well with only 7 cylinders working. If one injector is leaking and the engine is hot, fuel won't stay in that specific runner, in liquid form. It will evaporate and remain in the intake manifold plenum (throttle closed). When the engine is...

    Volvo fuel pump cross reference required.

    I got the new assembly from Amazon. Looks good, works fine. I did a 5 hrs ride yesterday and it was fine. I just find it more noisy than the Volvo part. Does anyone with that unit can confirm it is normal? Other than that it's working fine.

    Volvo fuel pump cross reference required.

    Hi. Volvo 5.7GiD My high pressure fuel pump is defective. It makes noise and has low pressure. I found on internet that a Carter number P61171 should fit as a replacement. I ordered one from Amazon. The one I received is almost the same except for the double oring nipple at the bottom. Does...

    Raw water pum

    Is the replacement RWP brand new or used? On my 5.7Gi-D, the rubber seal behing the RWP bearing was dry and the RWP was sucking air from there. Engine was overheating even at idle on the muff and on the lake. I tested the RWP by blocking one port, and applying vacuum on the other port. It...

    Navionics vs Naval Operational Training Area

    I thought that all the squares were the OTA?? Do you know what are the numbers in parenthesis? Those numbers are there only in the squares.

    Navionics vs Naval Operational Training Area

    I'm plotting a route with Navionics from Naples FL to the Keys. The route crosses a delimited area that is defined as Naval Operational Training Area. So, that means pleasure boats cannot enter that area? Navionics doesn't take that into account? In this case, I would have to follow the coast?

    Paper maps required?

    My plan is to start at Fort Pierce, doing the ICW down to Hollywood, some outing offshore if weather is good, then another trip across Lake Okeechobee to Naples, then trailer the boat to the Keys to spend a week there. (3 months total vacation). Okeechobee, some people reported to hit a rock in...

    Paper maps required?

    Thanks for the links. At least, if I don't find a used book, I won't be illegal with my electronic devices.

    Paper maps required?

    Yes if I find a book on EBay, at a reasonnable price, but I have 2 phones working on their own electric supply. So chances are low that they fail at the same time.

    Paper maps required?

    I'm planning to go boating in Florida. I was wondering if coast guards check for paper maps onboard. I have my Garmin GPS, plus 2 phones with Navionics. So, 3 independant navigation systems. Would that be accepted in our modern days?

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Your throttle opening shows 0.00%. But, when the ignition is ON without starting, is it 0% or another value? On mine, IGN ON = 0.39% and then when the engine fires, there is an offset added to show 0%. I have a video of when I was troubleshooting a hard start:

    Engine doesn't start without throttle opening

    I will update that thread to help those that may have the same problem. I finally found my problem. It was a leaking injector. Why I didn't see the problem before? One of my first test a couple of years ago, has been to remove all injectors, and test them one by one on a DIY jig that I was...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Maybe worth a try to remove it and shake it to see if it moves freely (not clogged). At idle, there is some combustion air coming from the PCV in addition to the throttle body. And may be the IAC is at its maximum opening and can't compensate. In the past, I bought a IAC from Amazon, and it...

    Volvo 5.0 gxi Stalls at idle. Hard start.

    Is your PCV valve working? Is it a new problem? Any work done on the engine before that?
