Re: R5 350 VOLVO PROP CHANGE

2.32 with FH6 with 2018 R5 with 350. Jumps out of the hole and has fantastic midrange acceleration. I'd guess that you'd lose 2 to 3 mph top end with FH5s. I have been wondering how FH7s would work on my boat. I average 3.14 mpg at 32 mph now.

Re: V8-350-CE-K 2018 coolant change every 200 hours

I'll take a look. I imagine that the drain plugs are also knock sensors. Perhaps it will be somewhat obvious which cooling lines to the heat exchanger come from the block. While I'm doing this, it would be great to tie a heater core in to use to warm the cockpit on cool days, with a valve to prevent ...

V8-350-CE-K 2018 coolant change every 200 hours

How do you replace the coolant (antifreeze) on the 2016 and newer Volvo penta engines that have closed cooling and the EZ drain system? The service protocol says to replace the coolant every 200 hours. Thanks.

Hi Herb, are these still for sale, the F6 prop set? Have you investigated shipping costs? I'm in Webster NY 14580.
