Do you have a picture of the wiring for the alternator. That can you share. I. Just build. A 350. Engine. I got it running today. But. I not sure if i got the wires right for the alternator. 😅
I have a volvo penta 290 and on the bottom of the reverse lock mechanism there is the lock guide washer. Mine have all been screwed down. but when we have looked it up online no one else's has. we were wondering if you know if you need them or not????
I have recently just purchased a boat with this locking mechanism. I belive the shift cable has been replace a few years ago. The problem I have is that when you shift into forward the cable PULLS the linkage. This causes the latch to be locked in forward position and realesed in reverse. If I switch the linkage to the other side the the linkage works properly but my shifter is the backwards.... I am stumped on what to do to fix this please help
The cable must push while in forward and pull while in reverse otherwise the reverse locking mechanism cannot work properly. If that is not the case, please check the gear lever at the control panel. Probably something set not correctly.
Grazie per questi filmati, sono importanti e necessari per il "fai da te". Sarebbe interessante anche un filmato su come cambiare le guarnizioni paraolio dei pistoni trim del 290A.
I have used a engine picker and small straps choked under ujoint collar. It's a lot. Guiding the ujoint bellow, water hose and shift cable in place. But I love the AQ drives, every few years change bellows and every season the unit lube. As long as you don't hit anything they'll run for many years. Wish they still made them. The last 10 years I've bought many 275 and 280. I probably have 7 or more ready to go. To convert to outboard is just stupid expensive.
I know you posted this 4 years ago, but I just came across your video due to some work on my 270 outdrive. The mechanism for the reverse lock looks identical to what you show in your video. What I'd like to know is what adjustment keeps the pawl lock from grabbing the trim rod when it's in forward? The way mine is now working (I think I messed something up trying to get the reverse lock to work properly) when I pull back on the outdrive (simulating hitting something moving forward) the pawls grab the trim rod due to the spring pulling the locks upward and engaging the trim rod. Seems that it shouldn't do that.
Hi. It is correct that the pawl lock grabs the trim rod when in forward. It is kept in this position by springs but, if the outdrive hits an obstacle, the spring will allow, above a certain impact force, the disengagement of the locking mechanism and the lifting of the outdrive. While in reverse, a cam actuated by the shift lever will move and prevent the locking mechanism to disengage whatever the pulling force might be.
So I'm getting into old man territory now that I'm in my mid 50s, but I have loved this song since it came out. The 1st time I heard it, I was like, whoa, RUSH just did a fuckin rap! Having witnessed the birth of rap, I was happy that they didn't mind trying something that they were listening to. As an aside, how the hell did no one mention War Paint as women applying make up? Christ I must be getting old.
The water is sucked and discharged through the outdrive as shown in the video. Inside the motor compartment, the water suction hose is connected to the outdrive through the transom shield as shown in my video about boat winterization.
Hola buenas tardes . Tengo una pata volvo 270 y se me rompio los dos ganchitos de traba de marcha atras ustedes me podrian ayudar ,quiero saber si la puedo dejar fija
Hola buenas tardes. No lo se pero creo que seria mejor restaurar las condiciones originales. Puede incontrar las esquemas de montaje en el sito www.marinepartsexpress.com.
My steering pin has the two allen head bolts but, not the the two 1/4 inch threads two the sides. Just the two allen bolts. Is there another way to get that pin out?
Yes of course. Just disconnect the water intake hose at transom shield just for safe, to prevent any siphon effect, since the water pump level is lower than the floating line.
Nice job that looks like a beautifully restored older boat. Love the simple Chevrolet small block. Only thing I might do different is use ear muffs for water supply instead of the bucket because the water has to travel up and forward quite a ways to reach the engine mounted impeller. A pressurized flow will reduce the risk of dry starts. When the boat is on the water it’s a non issue because hydrostatic pressure fills that hose leading to the impeller. On my 1988 OMC/Chevrolet 4.3 I use the Mercruiser round muffs with the metal clamp that goes through the water intake holes, these are the best fitting ones I have found. Usually my engine will fire up after cranking it over 3 times after it’s 6 month rest
I don't think you can. You have to remove the trim cylinder pins. If you use the tilt the pins are always under pressure and you cannot remove them. Use a rope ad I did in the video. Pretty simple procedure.
Ciao Stefano. Love ure vids. Was planning on checking this on my sterndrive but couldnt locate. I dont have rod nor reversse locking thing. I have a vp duoprop dp-e 1.95 from 2000. Does some stern drives dont have this or is it hidden somewhere insiden the drive?
Hello and thank you for this very informative video. I appreciate you taking the time to show us all. I have a 2010 Stingray 195 LX and every time I take it out to the lake and I haven't started it for a few weeks I have to do this. I also push throttle down to prime it pump it 5-7 times then I crank it and it'll start after maybe second time but then when it does start, as soon as I put it on Neutral it shuts off. How long do I have to heat the boat up until I can actually place the throttle back on neutral? This is embarrassing to me because I have to start all over and I'm already in the water in people's way lol. Do i leave it this way until it warms up pretty good then take it back to the neutral position?
One or two minutes are enough for the engine to be able to idle with throttle lever in neutral position. You can also adjust the fast idle cam o be able to idle immediately with throttle lever in neutral position. This is what the fast idle cam us for. In my carburetor I have excluded it because I do not need it but remember that, just in case, you can use it.
Hello hoping you see this, I'm a 69 year old gal doing all my own work and as always I've hit a bump. When putting in helmet what keeps it up there? Mine keeps falling out I've tried block of wood etc. What am I doing wrong?
Who in the fuck is giving your info on petroleum jelly. Always use bio degradeable dish soap never use petroleum jelly. Please stop making videos or at least giving people bad advise...
I noticed that you replaced the plastic screw that holds the trim gear rack to the helmet with a stainless steel screw. I will be doing that too. Thanks Steve for the idea. Mine kept coming loose probably stripped. Why plastic VP?
Perfect video. I just bought my first boat and it’s carbureted the guy I got it from didn’t speak to much English and I didn’t wanna sound like a choch. You’re the man
Great video.. new boater here... is it safe to say I should expect to do this process anytime the boat needs to be started after its been sitting a couple hours? Mainly curious to the amount of time that indicates a cold start... sitting over the winter, only sitting a few days, or anytime the engine has cooled down to ambient air temperature.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I have a VP 290DP and I have done a digital indicator with Arduino. I see that for the adjustment you follow the volvo manual. Can you tell me min and max value that your display show at the min and max stern position (cruise + beach mode) (example -7 ...... +16). Thank you so much, my trim gauge is miss and I don't have this information :)
