    adjusting trim position sender

    Hey guys. I am trying to adjust the trim position sender on my Volvo-Penta SX-M outdrive. I cant seem to locate the three wire connector where it attaches to the main harness. Boat is a 2002 Four Winns 210 Horizon. I have both batteries out and have been trying to cram my head to look but...

    New motor mounts

    Well, finally got my new Volvo upper engine mounts installed. Used the specs from Don S. to have the alignment tool made. To say the right parts worked well is an understatement. Cant wait to get the boat in the water tonight or tomorrow. I noticed in a post that Don said a 1.66 ratio was...

    engine alignment?

    Hey guys. I just installed the gimbal bearing and was working on aligning the engine but ran into a problem. I slid the alignment tool in with a little coaxing (i figured i would adjust the front motor mounts to the point where it would slide out easily). Then the problem, there is no...

    Volvo SX-M u joint bellows?

    Hey guys. I took the boat out for the first time yesterday and noticed a lot of water in the bilge. I did not have the drive off for winterization due to having the clutch serviced at the end of last year. Mistake. I did some checking here and found a puncture/tear in the u joint bellows...

    still not shiftting correctly

    I just installed new throttle and shift cables. Adjusted them out and the SX-M seems to have the same problems as before. It will shift into reverse no problem but most of the time (about 60%) when shifting into forward, it will just stay in neutral. It stays there until i continue to move...

    Volvo SX shift cable?

    Hi guys, after help from you and and several adjustments of the shift cable on my 2002 Volvo SX-M drive, I think the best course of action is to replace the control cables. I have the thottle cable out of the boat and the shift cable disconnected from both ends (brass nuts etc. removed). I...

    clutch slipping?

    Hi, I was just trying to figure out what is going on. I have been on vac with the boat for about a week and the other day it started (i think) slipping as it was put into forward. The trans/clutch? delays after being put into forward before engaging the drive. Not reverse. We have been using...

    Pulling FW Horizon dash?

    I was going to try and pull the dash (guage cluster) out of a '02 Four Winns Horizon 210. The tach and depth guage are not working correctly. I pulled the two screws on the top edge but it does not seem to want to move and I really dont want to force/break anything. Anyone with experience or...

    out of winterization, no tach?

    Just brought the boat out of winterization. Don S., can't say thanks enough. I used your directions and the outdrive manual as guide/bible and it was extremely helpful. Had to do it at night, so I'm still working on the pics. The accessories are run by v-belt, which is puzzling. When I got...

    Driveline questions

    Hi everyone, I've been a lurker for quite awhile but waited til I got my new (to me) boat to register. I am just trying to get a baseline on what exactly the drivetrain is. The boat is a 2002 FourWinns Horizon that was repowered in 2003-04 (no winterization). I was told the new engine is a...
