    So I am getting down to the final stages of getting my 1995 Volvo Penta 5.7Gi engine installed and I am not sure how the engine actually connects to the boat......

    Looking for a new motor for my boat, found this deal on CL. Seller claims it had a recent rebuild, it was his farther in laws who passed away. Engine looks decent and has been stored indoors.....What do you guys think? Or what questions should I ask/things should I check...

    Repowering from a AQ260 to a fuel injected 280?????

    I need a new engine for the boat, and found what seems to be a good deal on a newer fuel injected 280. Would this engine drop in? What would be involved in adapting this system to my 1979 SunRunner? Thanks for any advice you can offer. http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/nvn/boa/4705975508.html

    disconnecting Volvo Penta motor from outdrive????

    Got the engine out of the truck in the shed and in the stand. Started the rebuild process. Though now I am just going to go with a new long block crate engine. So not sure what to do with this stuff now....

    What engine is this??

    Hey, I am looking for a new engine to replace my existing Volvo AQ260 5.7 And I stumbled upon this one but Im not sure if its what I need. Im guessing it just has 327 210hp Valve covers, but Id rather be certain. Any ideas? http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/boa/4683827397.html

    Volvo Penta 260???? Help please

    Just picked up this 1979 Sun Runner. It was a quick purchase, with no ability to test the engine etc. It has a Volvo Penta 260 (or at least the valve covers say) - Is that the correct distributor? - Any way to visually tell if this is a proper marine engine and not an auto engine (short of...

    Here are some pics of the boat. I was really really really surprised at the quality of the boat, especially the interior. She definitely needs some cleaning, and engine work, but worth it.
