I have a volvo aq125a engine w/ 270 outdrive. is there a larger motor i could put in the boat to run with the 270 outdrive, and what is a good prop to run on the 270 drive with the 125a engine.
The gear ratio in your outdrive is only good for a 4 cylinder engine.
Prop depends on your WOT rpm.
Check your WOT (Wide Open Throttle) rpm and see what you get. Should be 4800 to 5000 rpm.
If not, find out what size prop you have and what rpm you actually have and post your question over in the prop forum at http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=35
