    1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto And one more picture which is the most current as of today. The mid-seat bases in progress: I haven't foamed the deck yet. I will probably wait until I have everything else ready and do it all at once so I don't waste any.

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto Ok, now for the engine. I'm getting tired of posting for the night so I'll give a brief overview.

    1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto Continuing with the hull and structure... I cut new stringers and coated them in epoxy: Ok, so now I have a question. How important is it to "bed" the stringers? I could see on a large boat, but it doesn't seem to me that contact with...

    1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capr 1950i, Volvo Penta AQ125A Resto I'll start with the hull and structure. Like I said, the floor was caved in almost entirely. The boat has been sitting for around 20 years, and, at least within the past several years, without a cover. Not surprisingly I found waterlogged...

    My 2007 V/P SX just exploded... any ideas of what to do?

    Re: My 2007 V/P SX just exploded... any ideas of what to do? Here is a diagram of that shaft there that shot through the top of your drive. #15 on there is called a "locking clip". Would that normally retain that shaft from moving vertically? I have no idea. It's a small part though, and it...

    Timing belt broke, some questions...AQ125A

    Re: Timing belt broke, some questions...AQ125A How are the pulleys getting rusted? Do you store your boat outside in the winter? What kind of failure? Catastrophic? Teeth ripped off? You get some cold temps overnight in Baltimore during the winter. I don't think having the exposed timing belt...

    Re: Aquamatic 270, do I need this part? ....really Here is a picture of the flapper on my outdrive, which is currently off the boat, for reference. Anyway, it seems like a lot of people think you don't need it. I'm not going to argue since I don't have any experience with a missing flapper...
