    AQ225 Engine Mounts

    A few days ago I pull the engine on my 1986 Bayliner capri 1950, VP AQ225E/275 Drive to change the connecting shaft bearings.

    AQ225E Engine/Drive Noise

    I recently purchased a used boat as a project. It is a 1986 Bayliner Capri 1950, with a 305GM and 275 Drive (Volvo Penta AQ225E). When purchased the boat had not run for about 1 1/2 years. The previous owner had flooded the engine and kept cranking until he burnt out the starter and melted the...
