patrinif 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Hi everyone, this is my first post; i'm the proud owner (of two months now) of a 2008 270CR it has the 5.7 osxi-g (i believe it was built in 2007). First i want to say i love the boat. Myquestion for everyone is the engine NMEA200 ready? i added a Lowrance HDS-5 gen 2 chartplotter with sirius satellite weather and sonar, and i would like to add information from the engine, in order to get fuel comsumption, oil press and temp. and all the other info that comes with it. a little more info if it helps, when i bought the boat the dealer had pulled the engine readout, from it; i don't know if that makes it nmea 2000 or not. on a different question i wanted to change the gear oil on the lower unit and i saw that volvo has their own prop wrench for the duo prop. is it different or can i get a generic one. i hope i didn't confuse anyone and thank you in advance for your help Francesco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get a piece of 2" steel pipe. 30 seconds with the angle grinder and a couple minutes with a dremel to make the ID a little larger and you will have the special tool! Just use a pipe wrench. All in all it cost me about $4 and maybe 15 minutes and worked great! Or get the VP wrench for $35 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-Penta-D-F-Duo-Prop-Wrench-/110981848116?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&vxp=mtr&hash=item19d7089c34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
