    Fuel Pump Relay Continues

    I've got the VP 5.0 GL PEFS with the fuel issues. As posted before, I pinpointed the relay by hot wiring plug after boat quit running. I replaced it with an automotive relay and it failed. I blamed moisture since it wasn't sealed around connectors. I've now replaced it with a marine relay that...

    Fuel Pump Relay

    In addressing the fuel delivery issues that I posted a few weeks ago (which should be re-posted right ahead of this one if needed for reference), I pinpointed the fuel pump relay thanks to using the jumper wire diagram that Don S. posted. We put several trouble-free hours on it but are now...

    Fuel Delivery Issues

    Hey Guys! I've got the VP 5.0GL PEFS 4012048045 3869056 in an '01 Glastron GX205. At the lake yesterday, it died and wouldn't restart. After sitting awhile, it would fire on first crank but not run. After that, cranking only. I confirmed no fuel in carb, or TO carb. We've not had the boat long...

    Volvo Penta SX-M bellows

    My exhaust bellow has a split in it so I plan to replace it and the u-joint bellow. Does anyone have the part numbers for these? The production # is 3868891 and the serial # is 4202034104. Where's the best place to order them from? Thanks in advance!

    5.0 Volvo Penta SX-M Overheat

    After receiving some input about using Marine Tex to fix the cracked block, we decided to give it a try. Now we're addressing the overheat issue. It gets up to at least 210 and acts like it could keep going up while on muffs (all times it's ran have been on muffs). We've replaced the impeller...

    Engine Replacement

    I'm ready to tackle the "replace the engine because the block is cracked" project. It's a 2001 5.0 Volvo Penta SX. I have a 5.7 long block ordered from Rapido. This is my first boat repair. I've been working on cars since I was a kid so I feel I have the basic knowledge and tools to do it but...

    Do I have an ECM?

    Our '01 Volvo Penta 5.0 is carbureted. Does it have an ECM or do only injected models have one? I'm wanting to upgrade to a 5.7 so wanting to ensure this isn't an issue. Thanks!

    Reman Recommendation?

    We just bought our first boat at a greatly discounted price knowing it had a cracked block. It has a 2001 Vortec 5.0 Volvo Penta. I'd like to replace it with a 5.7. Any input on that? Also, I'm looking at Rapido for a reman long block. Anyone know of any better bang-for-your-buck? Thanks!
