    2012 Seadoo Impeller not turning freely when torqued down

    Hi all, My son has a 2012 Seadoo GTI SE/155. We just bought a new pump as the original one failed when water got into it, when we torque the impeller down it seems to bind onto the hub? It screws down easily, so is not an issue with the wear ring/impeller clearance. I know that if we install it...

    Navigation lights failed on Monterey 194FS

    Hi All, Just finished servicing my boat and seem to have a problem with the nav lights, the switch on the dash is no longer illuminating (all the others are), so I am wondering if the switch is dead? The boat is a 2007. I have used a 12 volt tester on the front nav light and there is...

    Engine alarm going off, but no idea why?

    My alarm is sounding, but the engine is running at normal temperature and oil pressure is where it should be? I checked the oil level and that is OK. Just wondering what else could cause the alarm to sound? Possibly a faulty thermostat? Does anyone know precisely what failure points will...

    Small leak from raw water pump housing

    Hi all, I have just noticed that the raw water pump on my Volvo Penta GL-H has a slight leak coming from the bottom, it is spitting up on the belt with the engine running and this is how I spotted it. I tightened all 4 bolts, so I am confident this is not the issue, not checked the oring yet...

    Ignition barrel suddenly very stiff

    Hi all, Just put my boat back in the water post annual service and she is running wonderfully well, apart from the fact that my ignition barrel has suddenly become really stiff? I gave it a squirt of WD40, but it is still not right. Anyone else had this problem? I am about to remove it from...

    Annoying squeak at low revs

    I seem to have an annoying squeak coming from my engine at low revs, it may well be there at high revs also and I am possibly just not hearing it? I thought it might well be the drive belt, so swapped that out. However the problem persists. It sounds like it is coming from the very bottom...

    Penta 5.0GL-H - Over heating problem

    Firstly just want to say how sorry I was to hear of Don S passing away, he had helped me so much earlier this year and really made a huge difference to me getting to grips with servicing my new engine. I know this forum will not be the same without him :blue: I took the boat out the other day...

    Battery replacement

    The battery in my boat is original from new (2007) and whilst it works great, I am going to replace it with a new one to be on the safe side, it must be close to its life span by now. My current battery is an Interstate 24M 800 CCA (single battery). I read up on deep cycle batteries and it...

    Running engine with a hose attached

    I test fired my engine today having put it all back together, the stern drive dolly I made allowed me to fit it back on very easily, it was priceless - took me all of 10 minutes :) Ran the engine with a hose attached directly to the engine rather than using muffs. My question is should the...

    Engine aligment - Volvo 5.0GL-H

    So I got my alignment tool today finally, stern drive is off on and sat happily on my newly constructed dolly (compliments of the pics I found on here as guide to build it). Read up on every possible thread on here + watched the youtube vidoes and am pretty sure my engine is not aligned...

    Correct spark plug gap - 5.0GL-H

    Hi, I wonder if someone could tell me the correct gap for my new plugs? I have looked in both the owners manual and the Selec manual and cannot find it anywhere, which seems a little odd :grumpy: Mike
