The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I am going to replace my fuel high and low pressure fuel pumps on my 5.7GSI FPCBYC. I was searching the internet and found a few different brands at different prices. I was wondering if anyone might have any experience with any of these. I would like to save money but not if it is going to cause...
I have a 1998 5.7 GSI TBI, when I turn the key my fuel pump does not run. I checked to see if there was spark and there was not. I was wondering if there would be something that could control both? I just installed the engine and had spark and fuel before. I looked for pinched wires checked all...
I have a 1998 5.7 Vortec roller cam motor. long story short I need to rebuild and bore cylinder due to scratches. I was wondering if anyone has experience with replacing factory dished pistons with flat tops valve releif. I run premium gas anyways so not too worried about that. My concern is...
I have a 1998 5.7 TBI OMC Cobra 57FCPBYC and I was wondering if anyone would happen to know if this is a roller cam motor and is it a Vortex motor? might need to replace the motor and if so might upgrade...
Well the kids wanted to go fishing so I get the fishing boat out to get it ready. Started to clean it and noticed the transom was not looking right some wood rot coming out. I removed all the screws and opened it up behold the wood between the aluminum was rotten. I cleaned everything up cut a...
Just purchased this boat (99 5.7 Penta TBI) took it out ran good no issues, full throttle over 5000RPM. This weekend took it out and at WOT it bogs cannot get past 4200RPM's. I can run it at 4200RPM's 3/4 throttle with no problems (I ran it 4200 for 30 mins) but soon as I WOT it bogs? The boat...
Anyone know the redline RPM for a 99 Volvo 5.7 TBI? My boat shows 5000RPM as ideal WOT but nothing about redline RPM of the motor. Currently I have a duo prop and the motor will go to 5600RPM WOT. The gauge might be wrong but just trying to understand what RPM I should not exceed?
thanks,
I have a 99 5.7 volvo fuel injected, I think 280hp? anyways I notice my last 5.7 was carb at 260hp. the 20 hp makes since. then I noticed there is a 300hp and 320 hp 5.7. So my question is what are the differences that gave extra gains (MPI, cams)? does my motor have the Vortex heads?
thanks,
I just picked up a 1999 Chris Craft 210 cuddy 5.7 volvo duo prop. runs good and is very clean. when I got it home the engine hatch would not work? I hear it turn on for one second then nothing? wondering if the pump is bad or maybe low on fluid? it was working slow when I looked at the boat...
My grandpa has a 2001 Celebrity 180. A little while back he hit the dock and the engine vent scoop on the side broke. I have looked around and it seems impossible to find a replacement scoop. Any idea where I could find one of these?
thanks,
Hey guys it has been a while. I have been very busy selling the Celebrity and now planning on purchasing another boat. I really prefer to stay under $13,000. I have been looking at the following boats and not sure what?s good or what to stay away from (pro's vs con's). Feel free to let me know...
I am new to boating and have just purchased a Sea Nymph 14R with 1972 Evinrude 9.5hp, 1972 Mercury 7.5hp and Atwood 7.5. they all run but not yet tried on boat in lake. I was assuming that the Evinrude would propably be the best motor since the largest hp but not sure about reliability? I am...
