    Mercruiser 6.2L 4 injectors not working

    Good morning, I was having problems with the engine running rough so I took it to a mechanic a few weeks ago. He found water in the oil and has replaced the head gasket on the port side and both exhaust manifolds and elbows. He now has the engine back together but it won't start. When he runs...

    Mercruiser 6.2L seized up??

    Good morning guys. We had the boat out yesterday and on the way back in the alarm went off because it was overheating. I put it in neutral and let it idle for 30-60 seconds, then it went from 217 degrees down to about 167 degrees in like 10 seconds like somebody flipped a switch. So we idled...

    Sandbars and ramps in Savannah GA area

    I've just relocated to the Savannah area and am anxious to get the boat out on the water. We have a 24' Crownline I/O and like to do a little cruising around and mostly hang out on a nice sandbar for the day. Any recommendations for a good sandbar? I also need a good ramp to launch the boat...

    Volvo 5.7Gi-E running rich

    Hello everyone, I've got a new problem that just started a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the engine is running rich. Here is what I know so far. 1) The transom has black soot on it after a day on the water. 2) The engine idles smooth, but has a shake when on the earmuffs at 1500-2000 rpms. 3)...

The story is that his boat was at the dock and he pulled up in the Denali to load some stuff onto the boat. While he was sitting in the driver seat one of the kids...

    5.7l Volvo overheating/hydro-locked again

    Well, I thought I had this problem fixed but I guess not. I replaced the riser gaskets, thermostat and raw water impeller. I did a compression check and all looked good. I changed the oil and saw no signs of water. I've used the boat a few times since then with no problems. So yesterday I...

    Volvo 5.7Gi-E Overheated, are risers bad? Pics included.

    Hi folks, I pulled a stupid human trick yesterday. Launched the boat and got about 1/2 from the ramp when the alarm went off because the engine was overheating. I left the cap off of the engine flushing tube on the motor, so the raw water pump was sucking air. I put the cap back on and tried to...
