    Help with lower unit u-joint (part number) for a V/P

    Ok, met with tech today. I think we are confident that the part number for the whole new shaft will work and based on the V/P tech article you sent the part number for the spider only is wrong and prob shouldn't be R&R'd anyways. I'll confirm the new sleeve and bolt mentioned in the article...

    Help with lower unit u-joint (part number) for a V/P

    Thanks for the late night help. I"m going to stop at his shop this AM and get his temp on the matter and share this intel. If you thinking this might a part change over issue would you be a betting man that it just had todo with the spider? My question is...do you thinking buying the whole...

    He just also sent me images of the snap rings of the old vs. new and his calipers on the new bearing.

    Help with lower unit u-joint (part number) for a V/P

    additionally, he sent me photos of what I ordered (again looks just like the ones I see in the retail photos) but you can see the one he's pulled out!

    Help with lower unit u-joint (part number) for a V/P

    Thanks. I did mean "12"...to many numbers tonight. I've included a photo of my outdrive just to confirm it's a plain DP-S. I know a photo doesn't answer all the variations but this photo of it when I first bought the boat is the only other evidence I got that so that I believe with all my...

    Help with lower unit u-joint (part number) for a V/P

    I have a DP-S (1997 vintage) on my boat. There were no tags on the engine or outdrive but with the help of some great people online we found the tag on the Transom Shield (411156762) that shows it to be a TSK SX-C1 which with a duo prop shows to be a DP-S 4112029783. When we run that DP-S...

    DP-S drive...same as DP-S A or DP-S B?

    Thx. Since posting this I did look up a lot of tansom shields to see they are mostly the same and figured mine out. Looks like even some makes we’re same between Merc and VP.

    DP-S drive...same as DP-S A or DP-S B?

    DIY parts identification is a really chore on boats...hell I've had dealers crew up. With the help of many people smarter than me we deterred that my drive is a DP-S although another identification on it says it was a SX-C1. Looking for a OEM V/P gimbal bearing and I think the number I need is...

    older FI engine work with modern electronics in any way with conversion kits?

    I have a 1997 Pursuit 2460 with same era Volvo Penta engine (rebuilt). Don't have my specs handy right now but as I search for new electronics I'm curious if there is a world with a fuel injected engine that old has enough electronics and a way to interface with the modern dash electronics...

    Default V-Drive water in oil? (ZF 45 IV)

    Gang...I'm helping a friend from the wakeboard world. He acquired his boat last year and is still shaking things down. First change on the ZF v-drive fluids and he noted in the aft (Vee) he it seems milky to him. I've told him to pump it out and let it settle for the night and we'll have a look...

    volvo penta static fuel pressure questions

    I know most injectors list flow rates at 3 bar but I know late model GM's can use 4 bar thus impacting an injectors listed flow rate. I have a 1997 Gi engine and I want to confirm it's VP own FI system and the static pressure of the rail is in fact set to 3 bar like 97.4% of the FI word. I...

    Often stalls when coming off plane

    Small score...I found this document for the 5.7...not sure what year but there is an IAC control function test at the bottom I can try.

    Often stalls when coming off plane

    1996 V/P 454ci with a DP-S1 with OEM fuel inject system. All injectors were tested about 1 year ago. We had this long block put in by a friend a couple years ago and we average 25 hours a season here on Lake Erie. If I come off plane and don't feather down the throttle it tends to stall and...

    help with sticky throttle

    1997 vintage duo pro I/O I noted the last few times up on the lake that if I put the throttle into N (push in the button on throttle) and rev it forward or reverse the button never come out/back to allow it to lock back into gear. I usually have to resort to a few Fozie taps on the housing for...

    I think I need to adjust my throttle...

    So late last summer we finally got my 1997 Pursuit 2460 in the water with a new long block. After chasing down a few pesky injectors I think we have a good running engine, but... I run out of throttle. This boat won't go over 3200RPM and about 30-31MPH and I've been scratching my head...
