    Outdrive Bolt brace or plate

    I have an 83 bayliner with a penta 270 outdrive. I noticed recently I was taking on water through one of the bolts that holds the outdrive to the transform. Tightening the bolt seemed to fix the leak for now, but I noticed the plywood around the bolt is damaged. The bolt has a large 1 1/2" or so...

    aq125a stalls at 1400 rpm when under load

    I have a 83 Bayliner Capri with an AQ125a and 270 out drive. This is my first boat and I bought it last year. It has always had an issue where it seems to have a dead spot between 1400-2000 RPM where if I accelerate slowly it will bog down and die. If I punch it the engine revs right up and I...

    AQ125a, Bad Starter?

    I have an '83 AQ125a that has been having some starter issues this year. When I turn the key I just hear the "click" of the solenoid but the motor doesn't turn over. If I keep trying it will eventually turn over, and then it starts and runs fine. Here is a typical scenario: If the boat has been...

    Oil Leak Stop Additives

    I can't believe I am considering this, but I am out of options. I have a 83' Bayliner with an AQ125A. The main seal is leaking to the point where I didn't have to change the oil at the end of the season because I just kept adding it throughout the year (~20hours runtime). I bought the boat for...

    Carb Rebuild Advice

    I'm going to tackle rebuilding the carb on my aq125A. I ordered a rebuild kit and yesterday I tore down the carb to inspect it. From the looks of it, it has either never been rebuilt or it was rebuilt when you could still get volvo parts (or NOS parts were used). Anyway, I am rebuilding it...

    Help! Water Leaking into Boat. Torn Bellows, Rusted U-Joints

    Hello- I recently acquired a 1983 Bayliner with an AQ125A and 270 Outdrive. The boat has been taking on water and when I did some looking water is coming into the boat where the engine meets up with the outdrive (see yellow circled area in first photo). I pulled the U-joint bellows and it has...

    AQ125a with 270 Outdrive Questions

    I recently aquired an 83' bayliner with an AQ125a and 270 outdrive. We got it in the water this weekend for the first time and all in all the boat performed very well. I have two questions though: 1. When the drive is in gear and throttle is slowly applied it will start to accelerate and then...

    270 Outdrive Seawater intake leaking

    I have a '83 270 outdrive paired with an aq125A that isn't pulling in fresh seawater (when hooked up to a hose. I haven't tried in the water yet). I replaced the impeller but the new impeller didn't fix the issue. I wanted to see if there was a blockage in the outdrive so I removed the short...
