At 66, I don’t think I’m up to diving 35 feet

Anyone know where I can acquire the dip stick bolt for the top of the Volvo DPS lower unit (8.1G)? I dropped mine in the lake . Cobalt charges a fortune for this simple part.

Can anyone tell me what model year Volvo switched to the motor with the enclosed water system not requiring winterization? Thanks!

Selling carpet out of a 2009 276, in very good condition. $500. Prefer to sell local to St. Louis/LOTO area to avoid shipping. PM me if interested.

What diameter size are people using for their umbrellas? Is a 9 footer to big?

I have the support Arm for cocktail table, however I need the base that screws into table. My support arm measures 1 5/8” OD, however, I can not find a base online that will fit 1 5/8”. Anyone have a base that will fit, or know where I can source one?

What oil does everyone use in their 8.1 Volvo?

Where is the shut off valve supplying water to the head on a 276?

Will using an KnN air filter add any increase in performance in a 8.1 ?

Can anyone give me recommendation for someone who can make me a bow cushion for a 2009 276? I’m at LOTO if it makes a difference.

Does any company make an extension for the Bimini on a tower (2009 276). We need more shade.

I have a 2009 276 with the factory tower and attached bimini. Does anyone make a Bimini extension that would work on this boat? We need more shade.

I can’t compare a 276 with a 262, however I love my 2009 276 (200 hours on 8.1 Volvo), purchased a month ago.

Any advise on how to remove safety labels on rear of boat (they are right in the middle of where I need to put my boat name and hailing port)

Just yesterday, on 2009 276, my fuel gauge started acting crazy. At times, it showed more fuel than I new I had, then, while refueling it seemed to work ok when I filled it to half full, then after pulling away from marina, it showed more than full. Any ideas on what might cause this and how to fix?
