Yes, it’s a Volvo Penta 5.7Gi. I don’t have the model number as it’s at my lake house.

So nobody has any advice? Damn.

I work in the hospital system, needless to say I haven’t had much free time.

I want the least expensive motor to get my boat back up and running. I don’t really wanna pay 12k to get my boat back in the water
