AQ125B engine replacement

[ckretjr]

I just aquired a 1985 Bayliner from my brother as a project. It needs a new motor. What's in this boat is an AQ125B Volvo motor. Where can I find a good used one. I am in South Texas! Thanks to all who help!

Thats a B23 Block, 2.3 ltr. Mid 80's volvo's used them...But save all the parts from the original motor, you'll need all part from it. If you don't have the old motor, than you'll need a complete marine motor of the same vintage.

Paperklip did it, here is his thread: http://forums.iboats.com/volvo-pent...d-b230-auto-engine-92-volvo-240-a-503981.html

You are probably looking to pull a b23 motor from a mid 80s volvo (just about every model used the b23) at a wrecking yard and rebuilding that. I think the cam is marine specific and marked with a "k" so use the old one if you can, IIRC.
