A couple or so volvo-penta 5.0G questions.

[KenPickle]

I have a 1999 Crownline boat w/ 5.0 (Chevy) engine and TBI injection. First,how long can I run the engine out of the water before water pump damage occurs? Also,what are the correct fuel pump pressures for both of the fuel pumps?Lastly,is there a "Set timing" connector I need to disconnect to set the timing as there is on my truck? Thank-you!

As long as you have the muffs and hose hooked up you could probably run it until you were bored or out of gas. Without that setup maybe a few seconds before the impeller is toast. As for the timing,
http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=271407 all in the adults only section at the top of the forum (contains a wealth of info, a must read so to speak). As for the pressures, 6-8 on the low pressure and 29-31 on the high pressure if memory serves.

About 5 seconds.

,is there a "Set timing" connector I need to disconnect to set the timing as there is on my truck?

First, don't try to set timing in the link given by gbeltran, that is for carbed engines only, not TBI.

For your system, if you don't have a diagnostic computer to put the engine into service mode, you can use this method.
