    Adjusting the up travel on VP 270 tilt mechanism?

    Anyone know how to adjust the up travel on AQ125A/VP 270 tilt mechanism? Mine stops about 1/8" from completely up. I'm afraid it won't clear the arm on the drive. Read the little snippet in the manual but really can't see where there is an adjustment.

    AQ125A exhaust bellows?

    Upon inspecting my AQ125 exhaust bellows (Volvo OEM) I noticed a very small hole about 2" in from the end and I was wondering if it was factory. The hole is about 1/16th of a inch and looks factory formed. Is this a factory weep hole ?

    AQ125 front engine support

    I know this has been discussed here before and as many have said - It's lasted 30 years. I am restoring a 1985 Monte Carlo by Ebco which the transom was gone and the entire boat needed a lot of work so I gutted it completely including cutting off the cuddy cabin. Rebuilt the transom and decided...

    AQ125A electrical connector

    This is the main harness connector from my AQ125A/270. I would like to ID the 7 pins used in this connector and what each one goes to. Pins 1-2-3-5-6-7-8 are the only ones used. I pulled back the boot covering the canon plug and I see there are some pins with two wires connected. I'm getting...

    I'm looking at the engine service manual for Intermediate shaft torque value. Manual states 'Intermediate shaft, forward ....50 Nm (5.0 kpm) (35 lbf. ft.)'. My question is the reference to 'forward' meaning the bolts that attach the Intermediate shaft to the engine? Thanks,

    Trim in/down issue

    I'm back at the original issue I have with porpoising. My 1984 Mercruiser 305 powered 20' IMP likes to porpoise above 25mph. Shifting weight doesn't help. It improves when I use the tabs but I feel it would improve more if I could get the trim rams to retract completely. If I disconnect the rams...
