I have a 85 Bayliner Capri with a Volvo aq125b motor. I just bough the boat and there is something missing on the motor on the back side of the top of the heat exchange just below the cap. It looks like a water pipe is went there or a thermostat. It is a oval hole with a opening to the heat exchange. Is there anyone that can tell me what gose there and where I can find one?

Im pretty sure a coolant pipe goes there but I can not see a place that the pipe goes to. The Volvo schematics show it going somewhere by the oil filter but there is nothing on my motor like that as seen in the photos.

A copper pipe is supposed to go from there to the underside of the exhaust manifold. The manual only shows the aq145 option with the oil cooler but your motor doesn't have the cooler. I can post a pic of how mine is routed later tonight if it would help.

That might help because im not sure where the pipe would lead to plus I dont have the pipe I think it was stolen or was never on the motor.
