    Hey, I'm looking at buying a used boat and wanted to know if there is any info I should know about before pulling the trigger. It is a 1994 Seaswirl 201 LE bowrider with an OMC V8 and Cobra outdrive. The seller says the V8 is a chevy with fuel injection. I don't have any other numbers or...

    Re: im going to make homemade live well I'm not sure where you would fit it in the back of the boat if you already have 2 batteries and a gas tank? I have a 14' Valco, I enclosed the back area, and added my livewell inside the center bench. Sorry, I don't have any good pics here to show...

    Can't get the steering arm tight on the helmet.

    I think this is the opposite problem of what most people have with the steering arm, mine won't tighten down. When I pulled the outdrive for maintenance, the helmet just fell out! Sure I had to disconnect it from the leg first but I didn't have to loosen the steering arm. I put it all back...

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto :lol: That's crazy you found my pics like that. I'm told that the original owner of my boat was an avid skier and had the swim-platform custom made along with the custom rope tie many years ago. I did see that these guys make one for...

    AQ125A overheating, but only above 2500rpm

    I just got back from a weekend on the colorado river. Had a good time and all but my boat was overheating anytime I got the rpms over 2500. Once over 2500 the temps would just climb and climb, no difference if I was at 3000 or redlined at 5000 rpm. Then I'd back it off to 2000 and it would...

    Re: 1986 Bayliner Capri Volvo Circulation pump problem B230 with 270 outdirve Ah yes, look at that, I totally didn't catch that. My 125a is a 2.1L the 125b is a 2.3L, I guess there should be some differences. 125b pump: It is so close to making the auto version fit. The hole on the...

    I have an '85 capri with the aq125a/270 setup. Went to take it out today and noticed the rubber flapper on the exhaust outlet was being held on by just a thread. I pulled it off and now the exhaust outlet is just wide open. Is there anything wrong with this? Here is the part: #4...

    Is it a failing fuel pump issue? aq125a

    Whenever I start my bayliner cold I have a lot of problems keeping it running until it warms up. It often will die and require more throttle pumping for more gas to start again. Letting it down to idle before it is warm will result in it dead too. Is my fuel pump not pumping right? I pump...

    Re: AQ125B Engine Swap with a Marinized B230 Auto Engine from 92 Volvo 240 Thanks for the info, but unfortunately I am too anxious to get back on the water and ordered up the marine water pump. I just know that I'll be kicking myself in a year when my heat exchanger develops a leak! :P Oh...

    Help with prop selection

    I have a new to me bayliner and would like to get a little better performance out of it, namely it is a bit slow and bogs down a bit when towing a heavy tube or a boarder is pulling hard on the rope. It came with 2 props (a 14" 19P and a 14" 17P 3-blades) I live and play at 6750ft elevation...

    Volvo aq125a stuttering and stalling out.

    I have a '85 bayliner capri with a volvo aq125a /270 penta. Sometimes when at idle and I hit the throttle, the motor will sputter and not rev up, and often even die completely. I can usually manage to either feather the throttle or just punch it and go to get the rpms up. Over 2000 rpms there...

    85 volvo penta aq125a with many problems

    I have a (new to me) 85 bayliner with an AQ125A volvo penta and it has a couple problems. 1. Motor dies at about 2000 rpms. It idles great, it revs high and runs high rpm great, but if I throttle in between 1000-2000 rpms slowly, it dies. It starts right back up no problem. When it dies it...
