Just bought a 1984 Bayliner with a 4 cylinder 2.1 Volvo Penta. I've heard good things about those engines. The guy said he had not taken her out in a couple of years but she fires right up. The Engine Runs great at idle but when you put it into gear a give her gas she sometimes dies out. Start it right back up and the same thing happens. It only happens sometimes and other times it works. Be at cruzing speed and you can feel it bogging down just a little hear and there. What could it be? Any suggestions would be great.

Re: Volvo Penta Boggs Out

Looks like I need to change my name. The Seaswirl had to go the boat grave yard. One of the hardest things in my life to do. But I guess the 1986 OMC had real problems with the outdrive blowing up. Was the last year before the new better disigned OMC Cobra's. So I had to junk her. But I like what I got for the price. Anyways man, any help with this problem with the Volvo Penta would be cool. Thanks OB1 of boats.
