    Inexpensive Pin Wrench for Volvo Trim Cylinders?

    Last fall I put a swim platform on our boat but still need to take the trim cylinder end caps apart to install some limiters that came with the platform. I'm sure there is a Volvo tool for this but has anyone found an inexpensive pin wrench that will work? Links appreciated.

    Remote Trim - Warning Decal?

    I added a remote trim switch and was wondering if there is anywhere to purchase an operation warning decal for it? Looked at making a custom one but the only online places I could find had a minimum order of 200 or so. Thanks.

    I need a carb kit and power valve for a 2004 Volvo 5.0L with the Holley 2 barrel. Where is the best place to get it and will I need any information from the carb itself, or is the Engine ID number enough?

    My 2004 Volvo SX-M Outdrive Serial-4202054754 has a trim hose that seems to be leaking where the metal tubing meets the threaded nut portion. I have tightened the nut but it hasn't fixed the leak. Are there ferrules on the bottom of these fittings or are they flared? If the hose has to be...

    Stiletto Prop - Mounts to far on Volvo SX Drive

    I have a Stiletto Bay Pro II prop #45420, and I'm installing it on a 2004 Volvo SX Outdrive. It is the old style with the pressed in hub. When you snug the prop nut down, the stepped down area seems to go a bit to far into the lower unit gearcase and there is a bit of rubbing. I have a...

    I'm installing a battery disconnect switch in my Negative battery cable. The original Positive and Negative cable say 4ga on them and are about 3ft long each. Where I'm mounting the switch, will mean the Negative cable will increase in length to about 11-12ft. Should the gauge of wire I use...

    Cheap & Fast Engine Oil Change Pump

    I put this together with a heavy duty drill pump from Harbor Freight and some fittings & hose from Lowes. The output hose is cut so I can dump into either a 5gal bucket or a 5qt jug. Took about 10 seconds or so to get a prime and after that it probably took no more than a minute to empty the...
