1984 Volvo Penta aq125a
I believe the timing belt slipped, have removed it and am reinstalling it. I have found all the marks for the crankshaft, distributor and camshaft.

I pulled the 270 drive off my 1984 Bayliner Capri 1950, Volvo Penta AQ125A engine; the goal was to replace the u-joint bellows, exhuast bellows, water pipe and control cable. While I had the drive off I also wanted to give it a fresh coat of paint.
There seems to be many issues and I'm not...
Over the last few months, I have been replacing this and that on the boat to ready it for some summer fun - however, I am having a real tough time identifying what the following part is. Originally thought it was a transom shield anode, but my boat parts store cannot find the part number - a...

My AQ125A engine has been surging on the water and I suspect either the fuel system or ignition system. However, the boat is very old and ignition system problems are preventing me from starting so I can check the fuel line vacuum (according to HOW TO: Testing your boats fuel system).

I have a new-to-me AQ125A which has seen the elements.
The timing belt has slipped, due to my own naivety in not running through a thorough set of checks and adjustments after purchasing; the timing belt tensioner needed adjustment.
I need to familiarize myself with the engine and the boat in...
I have my boat on a 2500 series road runner trailer which is 4" too wide for my garage, the trailer is 8' wide (tire-to-tire) and the opening for my garage door is only 92" wide. :facepalm:
Can I safely use a smaller trailer with this boat, like a 2300 series road runner trailer which is 81...
