I have a Volvo Penta 3.0L (GSP-B) Sterndrive engine.
Rookie boat owner, only had the boat for 2 years so be gentle.
After some troubleshooting of the alarm using muffs I determine that the exhaust overheat sensor is asserting. The asserstions happens after the boat has warmed up and asserts...
In neutral the prop is stationary as it should, but in forward or reverse detent (the first stops from neutral?) the prop is spinning pretty fast. Just got new shift cable install not to long ago, is this normal?
This is my first boat and just barely got it, so be gentle with me.
TIA
I have a couple of questions below, a bit lenghty but hope you can help.
1. Do you have to change the engine and gear oil when winterizing? My understanding is that one of the reason for changing those oil is if water gets into the oil and freezes that would not be a good thing...
I need to replace the shift cable on my Glastron SX 175 with the penta 3.0L. Does anyone know what the part number is on that, also how long is that cable?
Thanks in advance.
