    Volvo Penta AQ125B WOT issues

    Volvo Penta AQ125B Bogging down at full throttle

    Re: Volvo Penta AQ125B Bogging down at full throttle Sounds good I will look into that. Not sure what to look for when looking if the points are good or not. When it comes to ignition I am clueless... Does anyone know if the OEM Volvo Penta AQ125B's ignition coil is suppose to have an internal...

In neutral I can rev it...

    Switching from a RH to a LH prop

    I have a Volvo Penta AQ125B with a Volvo penta 270. I believe there is a RH prop on there right now which is shot. My boat came with a brand new LH prop. I was wondering if I could use the LH prop without changing the gearing.(use reverse to go forward etc...) If not, how hard is it to change...
