I got my circulating pump (antifreeze) back from rebuild for an AQ125A Volvo Penta. The final cost was $78.00. NAPA sent it to one of their vendors and it cost about 1/3 of a new one. Only took a couple of days. I'll run it in a tank after I install it but it'll be next spring before I can...
I have been told by NAPA that they send pumps to a rebuilder in Portland Oregon and that they can rebuild the recirculating pump (antifreeze) for the Volvo Penta AQ125A for about $60. Since a new one costs around $250 plus shipping, is there any reason that this wouldn't work?
I understand that periodically you're suppose to drain, back flush and put in new antifreeze. I don't have a clue on how to do this so I'd appreciate it if someone could walk me through the process. If I'm opening drains, please give me locations also because the only one I know about is under...
In a recent post I discussed my leaking circulating pump (antifreeze not raw water) in my AQ125A Volvo Penta engine. Someone mentioned that they got a replacement from NAPA and that it was a marine pump. My local NAPA knows nothing about this but in their marine catalog found a repair kit for...
In a past post I mentioned a leak in my circulating pump( the one for closed circuit anti-freeze system) and one suggestion was to replace it with one from NAPA. NAPA asked me if the Volvo Penta AQ125A is the same as the Volvo B21F car engine. I told him that I think so but that I'd check with...
Like m48strat, I took out my back to back seats and replaced them with pedestals. I also had foam under the bases. What I did was take a saw and cut the foam out level with the frame that the seat bases were attatched to. Once they were out, I attached a 3/4 piece of plywood to the frame and...
Volvo Penta AQ125A/270... Antifreeze is leaking from my closed system and I've traced it to the water pump. I don't hear any noise or anything else. I will change the water pump gasket but is there anything else that could be causing this or that I should look for?
I have installed a Minn Kota EM42 engine mount trolling motor that I will use for an emergency motor on the Columbia River. It's on a 16ft 1983 Invader. I need something to get me out of the shipping channel in case something happens to my Volvo Penta AQ125A main engine. <br /><br />Since I...
I opened the drain petcock under the exhast manifold yesterday and about 2 cups of water came out. My question is, was this the normal amount of water that comes out or should I remove the petcock and rod the drain hole out with a screwdriver? If the answer is remove the petcock, exactly how...
I was given a Minn Kota EM42 that attaches directly to the outdrive ventilater plate. It will be used only as a back up motor to get me out of the shipping lane on the Columbia River or back to the dock or shore in case the Volvo Penta on my 16ft boat breaks down. I'm not using a gas outboard...
I'm about to buy a 6 hp Envinrude tomorrow, serial number 6302SJ01192 for $150. <br /><br />The motor starts and runs fine while in the barrel. However, I'm told that under power while on the boat, it will run on both cylinders then one cylinder then the other then both again. Someone has...
I have a Volvo Penta AQ125A motor and 270 outdrive. My current WOT is about 4400rpm. Specs say 4400 - 4800. <br /><br />I am running a 14x19 VP 814633. Propco shows their replacement as a 14 1/2 x 19. Since I'm so close to the low end of WOT, will the extra 1/2" of diameter make any...
I need a Volvo Penta 814633 short shaft 14x19RH prop for my 270 outdrive. When checking for the best price on Google, a company called Propco came up, which costs significantly less than Volvo Penta or Michigan Wheel. Anyone have any positive or negative advice before I buy a replacement prop?
I have a volvo penta 270 outdrive/aq125a engine with a 14x19 aluminum prop pushing a 16ft Invader fish/ski boat. I'm currently running at 4400 rpm and get up on plane really quickly. <br /><br />Would cupping my prop do anything for me<br /><br />How does a person cup their prop and where...
Last week was the first time I had my boat out in the rain (1983 16ft Invader Volvo Penta Aq125A/270)and I had to duck down in order to be behind the windshield when running. I have a bimini but it is really more for shade and to keep the rain out when I'm fishing. Without spending the money...
