    DP-D1 Vertical Shaft upper nylok nut

    I left my manual on the boat (60 miles away) and am in the last stages of final assembly. Pinion nut in and torqued. Proper shims under the ball bearing. Spacers and roller bearing installed. Spanner nut spun down and snugged. But I cannot seem to find the torque specification for this top...

    Volvo Penta DP-D1 lower unit case

    I have an empty case that is in quite good shape with no corrosion. The paint is very sad though. I would like to take this to a high-tech local shop called Advanced Powder Coating. I have had them do other components such as intermediate case and suspension fork in years past with extremely...

    Volvo 8.1L Gi-A misc connectors

    What I've wanted to do for some time now was to connect this engine to my NMEA2000 network. Unfortunately, I've not found a source that shows how to do so. Could be this engine is just a bit too early (circa 2000) and the harness is not so equipped. I've hear of Deutsch-type connectors being a...

    Engine and helm warning horn

    I own a 1995 Carolina Classic that I bought early in 2013. I have now put two seasons of charter-boat fishing on her since then without any engine-related problems other than this topic. She was re-powered in 2006 by the previous owner with an 8.1L Volvo MPI engine. The issue I would like to...

    Flo-Torq hub kits for Yamaha

    This is cross-posted from the Prop section because it is pertinent to Yamaha engines. Moderaters, please forgive it this breaks a rule. I've been exploring the use of the FT IV hub for my 2005 F150 yam to solve a vibration problem at idle. I've found a source for the parts but they are not...

    Flo-Torq IV and III

    This is a follow-on to the Enertia thread I started, where somewhere in the posting I mentioned an occassional rattling vibration at idle that does not occur with aluminim props. The "chugga-chugga-chagga" sound with noticable increase in vibration. Nicking up the idle immediately cancels the...

    Storage - main fuel tank

    In my diesel days the process was to add some biocide, fill the tank completely and put her away. Michigan winters are long...but they don't hold much on those in Montana. Now it's gasoline...and a 54 gallon tank. I reckon there's no need to worry about fungus growning in the fuel, but I...

    Enertia Trials

    Mercury was not kidding when they said their new X-7 alloy prop rewrites the laws of physics. I played with a number of props in my new rig this year, but the Enertia 14.82x16p beat them all. Here's some numbers. In my case, the Merc prop selector was right on. However it took me a month...
