    Time For A New Fuel Pump?

    I was getting really bad pump whine the other day. Pulled the regulator out, cleaned off the gunk and it seemed to fix the problem for about 2 hours. Got back to the dock and the pump started whining pretty hard at low rpm and idle. Replace the whole assembly or just the high/low pressure pump?

    Volvo Penta Year/Model Identification And Flushing

    So I located where the riveted badge on the back of the block is supposed to be. Looks like somebody removed the badge from the block, seems sketchy to me. Any clue why someone would remove the badge from the block, other than theft? The story is this engine was in a harbor patrol boat...

    Volvo Penta Year/Model Identification And Flushing

    I took a picture of the badge from the outdrive before it went back in the water. Using your lookup, seems like it is a 2006-present part. Not sure if this came with the Volvo Penta that was put into the boat a few years ago, or if the outdrive was a separate purchase. Good notes on flushing...

    I saw that link a couple weeks back, hopped in the engine bay, looked everywhere and couldn't find anything.

    Volvo Penta Year/Model Identification And Flushing

    I know on this engine the block is cooled via heat exchanger and coolant, the raw water I believe only cools the exhaust system. Not sure what Degas bottle/HX mean?

    This engine does have a heat exchanger, and there is a flush port like the image below (little blue connector).

    Power Steering "Wobble" And Noise

    If anybody is visiting this thread looking for an answer, see below. The fix was to circulate the power steering system to release all air, top off the power steering tank with fresh fluid, repeat multiple times until all air was out of the system, and the system was full of fluid.

    Volvo Penta Year/Model Identification And Flushing

    Hello everyone, Currently running my brothers boat and trying to get an ID on the engine. I have searched the block high and low for a badge, but can't find any ID on the year/model. I know it is a Volvo Penta, thinking an early 2000's 5.0 or 5.7 maybe? Anyone have any pointers to find a...

    Power Steering "Wobble" And Noise

    Hi all, Got a hold of my brothers boat that has been sitting on a trailer for a couple years. Had the engine serviced and exhaust manifold and risers replaced. Took it out for a sea test the other day and noticed a "buzzing" noise that didn't sit right with me. This morning, I went down and...

    Active Corrosion Protection System Questions

    Hello, I was wondering what the indicator in the below picture was for. After some brief research, I've found out it is the Active Corrosion Protection System. When my boat was out of the water, I noticed there were some finned metal units under my outdrive, which I now recognize as part of...
