40pc with volvo penta ips sea water strainer cap leaks


Sea strainers

has anyone witnessed or had this issue? any corrosion? i heard it's very common with volvo's design

They did a retrofit about 3-4 years ago. They didn't publish or issue a recall but the original design was junk. You can buy the replacement tops which are much more like what you see on other boats. Clear top and it's not a screw top. My boat took on major water when the guy who winterized it cross threaded the cap.
