    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...

    Water in Bilge Coming from Transom?

    Hello Captains! I’d like to share my headache with you. Last Tuesday, I returned to the marina and noticed that the bilge pump was discharging water. About 10 minutes later, it happened again, so I went to check the bilge. I saw that water was coming from somewhere behind the port engine...

    Difficulty starting engines

    Good day, Captains! I have 2 petrol Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E on board. Maybe someone can advise which parts are responsible for the second and subsequent engine starts. When the engines are cold, they start well, but once they’re warm, the next starts are not as smooth. I need to add a little...

    Hello Captains! I just started upgrading my stereo to a modern unit. While disconnecting my existing Kenwood KDC-2025, I noticed a plain blue wire.

    Changing Oil in a Hydraulic Bridge System

    Good day! I cannot find any information on how to change the oil in a hydraulic system. I have a bridge with a hydraulic system, and I don’t know when the oil was last changed.

    Steering wheel has become harder to operate

    Good day! I'm the owner of a Monterey 282 with two Volvo Penta 4.3 engines and XDP-S drives. After winter, the steering wheel has become harder to turn. Perhaps something needs to be lubricated? The power steering actuator was replaced two years ago, and the fluid level is good. What else should...

    The engines can't reach more then 3000 rpm

    Two Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E engines. The issue is that the boat can't reach more than 3000 rpm with both engines under load, preventing it from jumping out of the water.

    Volvo Penta 4.3 OSI-E exhaust smell of petrol

    Good day, everybody! I can't find the issue with the port engine. It began when I detected a lot of water in the petrol. Then, a decision was made to drain the fuel, refuel with fresh petrol, and change the filter and filter separator. However, the smell of petrol doesn't disappear. The boat...
