    Electric Fuel Pump Assembly Replacement For Volvo Penta

    It seems that Airtex manufactures fuel pumps for Volvo Penta engines, but I haven't been able to find any Airtex high-pressure fuel pumps on eBay or Amazon.

    Electric Fuel Pump Assembly Replacement For Volvo Penta

    The price is definitely a good point, but I found several reports about overheating and blown fuses, leaks from the wiring connector, and even fuel leaking from holes in the fuel pump itself. I want to be on the safe side when it comes to something this important. Of course, some of those...

    Electric Fuel Pump Assembly Replacement For Volvo Penta

    Good day, captains! It looks like the high-pressure fuel pump is starting to fail, and I’ve been checking prices for a full replacement assembly. Even the cost of a new OEM fuel pump was honestly shocking. However, I’ve noticed quite a few aftermarket assemblies on Amazon for around $100-+. Has...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E Battery Advice Needed

    Battery Delkor 31-800, 800 CCA, 12V, 105Ah, 190 min (RC). He did not use the boat’s charger, but instead used his own non-smart charger. I’m in Cyprus, and according to the information I found online, this is an acid battery. It does not seem to be the best choice for marine use. AGM batteries...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E Battery Advice Needed

    The batteries are lead-acid. As I mentioned, my boat has been out of the water and in dry dock, with all cables disconnected from the batteries for the past 6 months. When the mechanic recently tried to reconnect the cables, there was no response at all. He then attempted to charge the batteries...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E Battery Advice Needed

    I installed them in 2023 and that’s it I haven’t really checked them since then. To be honest, I never had any issues with them until now. The boat is in the water about 360 days a year and is usually connected to shore power at the marina when docked. The batteries are mainly for the engines...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E Battery Advice Needed

    The batteries are only for the engines one battery for each engine, plus the bow thruster. The generator uses its own battery. The anchor, fridges, etc. use the large battery. What I mean is that if the alternator can charge the battery only up to 95Ah, then there is no sense in installing a...

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E Battery Advice Needed

    Good day, captains! Could you please advise which batteries fit well with the Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E engines? I have two of them, and during the 6 months of maintenance/storage, my batteries completely died. I replaced them back in 2023 with Delkor 105Ah batteries. Now I’m starting to think...

    Water in Bilge Coming from Transom?

    Hi Joseph! Yes, I found the issue. The problem was a leak in the port side transom. Over the past two years, I had noticed some water entering the bilge after going out and returning, but only now, when the leak became so fast and severe, did I start investigating. Unfortunately, in our type of...

    Need Volvo Penta Tools for XDP-B Repair

    Hello Captains, I’m facing an issue finding the necessary tools. On board, I have two Volvo Penta OSI-E 4.3 engines with two XDP-B drives. One of the drives has failed due to a broken gear. To repair the drive, I need specific tools from the Volvo Penta catalogue: PN 3861659 and PN 3861661. I...

    Exhaust Manifold + Exhaust Elbow

    Yes, it seems they definitely need to be replaced. It appears that the STBD engine currently has the same issue, and the manifolds and risers need to be replaced as well.

    Extract the Engines from Monterey 282 CR

    The engine has been removed. I haven’t been to the boatyard yet, so the only thing I know is that the generator was taken out and a special tool to lift the engine was crafted. I’ll provide more details later once I have all the information. A lot of people are curious about how it was possible...

    Exhaust Manifold + Exhaust Elbow

    Good day, captains! Does it make sense to use original Volvo Penta parts for the exhaust manifold and exhaust elbow, or is there a good aftermarket option that would fit? The boat is used in salt water. By the way, based on the photo, do I need to replace them immediately, or can this be done...
