    ignition switch replacement

    Ok I am sure it is obvious but it just isn't obvious to me.....:facepalm: I have a 2003 Stingray 200CS. How do I change out the ignition switch? Do I have to take off the dashboard cover, you know the pretty faceplate that covers the gauges. I looked under the dash and I can not see an ignition...

    P66 transducer and garmin

    I have a Garmin GPSMAP 188 that uses a P66 dual frequency transducer. Can I use that transducer with a Garmin 541s GPS. The 541s does use a dual frequency 50/200 transducer but I am wondering if the transducer plug would connect with the 541s power cord.

    4.3GL-A thermostat

    I have a 2002 Volvo 4.3GL-A. I had my thermostat housing off and it looked like the raw water intake hose dumps into the bottom of the housing where the thermostat spring is and the water flows out through a hose to the engine circulating pump. I was wondering how the water gets to the manifolds...

    getting anti freeze in block

    I have a Volvo Penta 4.3GL_A. I am winterizing it and have drained the block using the drain/flush hose connection. I drained the manifolds and pulled various hoses just to see if any more water would drain out. I know some say air does not freeze but the winters in New England are long and I...

    winterizing question

    I am getting ready to winterize my 4.3GL-A. I have heard that it is a good idea to add water to the anti-freeze. Something about it lowers the freezing point or it does not slush up... or something like that. Any one have any thoughts on this? Also.... I have read that the proper oil for a 4.3...

    RPMs at idle on a VP 4.3GL-A

    Just bought a Stingray 200CS with a 4.3GL-A engine. I had the previous owner start it and it sounded just fine. A few days after getting it home I started it and again it sounds ok but I noticed the RPMs where about 3000. It does not sound like the engine is running at 3000rpms. I sold my Regal...

    fresh water flush

    I have a Volvo Penta 4.3GL-A engine. I was thinking of adding a 'T' connection to the RAW water intake hose so I can attach a water hose and flush the engine. This would be helpful not only to flush the engine after use but to add anti-freeze when winterizing the engine. I had a Regal with a...

    slow boat

    I have a 1994 Regal 233 with a Volvo Penta 5.7GL engine. I had not used my boat for 5-6 weeks when I hauled it the other day. The engine started first turn and idled nicely. Ten minutes into the trip to the boat ramp I opened the throttle and all I could get was 2400-2600 RPM and a speed of...
