    Volvo Penta 3.0 (4 cyl) Alternator Thwarting Vacation Plans

    Hi, My alternator/regulator has failed on my 2000 Reinell 180. We are "remote" with the boat on vacation so I am hoping to find a part quickly. Perhaps on Amazon to pick up remotely, and buys some tools... The alternator has a built in regulator but I think it would be best to replace the whole...

    How does a Penta Actuator work?

    Removing steering cable

    I started pounding the cable out with a hammer and saw lots of powdered corrosion coming out the starboard side. Ended up just cutting the cable with a hacksaw. Leaving the rest of it in the actuator for now because I’m taking the actuator out to work on at home on my bench. Thank you

And I have removed the stainless steel pin at the other end. The end of the cable on the port side is out of...

I’m gonna try again tomorrow when I have more brute force available.😊 By the way, the reason I’m doing this is because my steering was locked up solid which, unfortunately I didn’t know until I launched the boat, doh! It is locked up, locked up, really solid. The cable...

    Hi, I’ve made some progress to get the steering cable out but I seem to be stuck. I have removed the cotter pin, and the pivot pin from the end of the cable and I’ve unscrewed the cable from the starboard side of the actuator. I can only get the cable out about two or 3 inches and it seems to...

    Repair of Old Kayaks

    Hi All, I have a pair of Phoenix Isere Kayaks, circa the seventies. They have been out in the weather for years. The fiberglass cloth on the bottoms (hull) is showing over most of the surface. It is as though the resin evaporated. The surface is still smooth with the cloth still adhered...
