    Thank you Scott. I'll try to get a better look. I think it's the raw water pump. It's splashing off the belts

    Can't tell where it's coming ftom. Drips on belts. I found an old thread about this issue and changing a shaft seal. Fresh water use only, carb engine.

    Water pump dripping 5.0 GL

    I think its the water pump, hard to tell. All hoses are tight. Anyway, it's about 1 drop per second. Can I run it once this weekend, or is this a high risk?

    Starter options for 2000 5.0 GL?

    I finally took it apart. Looks like it was submerged at one time. Amazing that it still worked. Commutator has chunks missing.

    Starter options for 2000 5.0 GL?

    I ordered the DB Electrical. On my boat the starter is not too hard to remove, so if it fails in a year I'll survive.

    Thanks to all who replied. I also have a reputable rebuild shop that quoted 80 for a marine rebuild unless major parts are needed.

    Starter options for 2000 5.0 GL?

    I opened the starter cover, it's full of rust by the brushes. Looks like it got submerged by previous owner. Guess I'll replace it.

    Starter options for 2000 5.0 GL?

    I think starter is bad, clicks but won't crank. Battery 12.5 volts, all cables cleaned, tried new ignition switch. Can I use the insides of a Chevy automotive starter and install in my sealed marine case? Price is $400 for a marine starter.

    5.0 GL Cranks slow at times, sometimes it's fine. All cables in engine area clean and tight. Battery at 12.8, 14 volts while running. Ignition switch? Starter? Solenoid? How do I narrow it down?

    Just winterized my 2001 Volvo 5.0 GL 305 Chevy. Did 2 block drains, 2 exhaust manifold drains, and 2 sea water pump hoses.. A video said to drain the intake manifold. Didn't see this in the manual.
