I just recently picked up an 85 Bayliner with 225 horse 5.0 chevy power and what appears to be a Volvo 270 outdrive. I had it at the lake this weekend and it ran good. When I pulled the boat out of the water, there was a small amount of oil leaking from under the cover on the outdrive. I removed the cover and while poking around in there found the bolt/plug at in the middle of linkage to be loose. This is a small hex head bolt approx 1/2 to 9/16 inch in size. How tight is this supposed to be? What kind of oil do you recommend?
Another thing I noticed is the boat had decals for having a 2.1liter as apposed to the 5.0 v8 that is in it.
Also I am not a big fan of the Rochester Quadrajet carburetor on a motor this small. Anyone put different carbs on these engines? I have a 600 cfm edelbrock in my garage. Also for just smooth running I would think a 2 bbl carb would be better.
