Are replacement engines available for a 1989 I/O? Can a Chevy 350 car engine work?
The I/O has been running great, until today. Today it was running rough and when I got inside the breakwater I opened the compartment cover and saw oil in the bilge. Also when I pulled the dipstick the oil was milky, same with the inside of the fill cap. There was no smoke from the exhaust but...

From my last thread, the volvo bearing carrier was removed without a problem. I now want to re assemble it to the outdrive. Is there a marine sealant I should use in addition to the o rings? Should I bed the bolts in sealant to keep out the corosion or just use a thread lock compound, and which...
I need to replace the shaft seals on a DP-A. The bearing carrier doesn't want to come off using a slide hammer. Is this a part that needs to be sacraficed to get it off? Can I use a puller and pull against the prop shaft? Any sugestions would be appreciated.
I have a 1989 AQ 311 with an outdrive that was converted to a duo-prop. I have no markings on the outdrive. Can you tell me what I have or how to find out?
