    Aq125a 270od 21ft trophy 1985. Once I hit about mid way thru the rpm range. The speed of the boat no longer gets faster as the Rpms go up? In fact it seems as I go up in rpms it might even decrease speed? This boat is slow anyway. Topping off at about twenty miles an hour. But now she...

    Lower unit

    Aq125a/270. By boat will not go backwards? It shifts into reverse,sounds like everything is spinning. But dose not move. Is that probably the lower unit not working? It also seems like the top speed is less than it was before. And even thou it increases in rpm ,it dose not increase in speed...

    Wrong impeller

    On the a q125 a. Be sure you have the right impeller. Some people are using one that is slightly too big. It can cause you boat to jump time. It can also interfere with the timing advance and cause low rpm problems. Some parts places will give you the wrong one,make sure they double check the...

    Clymer manual

    Be careful using this manual. Rebuilt a carb,didn't seem right. But followed the diagram in the book. They show the accelerator pump spring in the wrong spot? Makes me wonder what else they have wrong. How many years have they printed manuals? Just double check anything that dose not seem...

    Aq125a on muffs

    With the muffs on ,how much water should I expect to see exiting the engine? What is the operating temp for this engine 180 ? Would a ocean water temp of 90 make a difference ? With the muffs on,if I don't have good flow should I expect an obstruction ? The impeller is new. Thanks Eddie

    Can prop limit rpms?

    Can the wrong prop drastically lower rpm? Aq125a 270od only reaching 3000rpms. Can the prop cause the low rpm? The max should be about 5000rpm. Out of the water she goes easily to 5000 ,under load in the water. She won't get over 3000,even with plenty of throttle travel left. Thanks Eddie
