AQ125A heat exchanger question. The actual exchager itself,which side is the anti-freeze side of the exchange.Does it go thru the inside(tube side)or the outside(shell side)?
On the dipstick at the bottom there is a flat section(about an inch).Should I fill until the level goes past that or what? 2nd.Question--- The Orings on the drain and dipstick seem to be as good as new.Can I still use them without worry?I keep the boat in the water all summer.THANKS
I have noticed posts about lower unit water pumps.I was wondering if the outdrive I have has a pump inside as well.I only have delt with the impeller on the motor.I cant find anything in shop manual.
The guy at the marine store wants $9.98 a quart for my outdrive oil.That seems high to me.My book says sae 10w-30 or 10w-40.Can I get that at any automotive store?what would be better for me?The 30 or 40.Thanks
I have an AQ125A volvo motor.It has an internal cooling system.I would like to change the anti-freeze and check the thermostat.I see a plug under the exchanger and with a mirror I found a plug on the lower half of the block.Is that a plug for the cooling?Is there any other places to drain? Thanks.
I need some information on what is to be done before the winter.The motor is a 3.0 merc.I know to change the oil in both the outdrive and block.Next I will fog the motor.Then I will need to drain the cooling water.I'm thinking that I should only have to open all the drain plugs.Does anyone know...

AQ125A seawater pump impeller needs replaced.I cant seem to get it out.I didn't try too hard because I didn't want to force it until finding out how I should go about pulling it out.I'm thinking it should slide right out off the shaft and is held in place with a shaft key.Any help would be great!
I was out the other day and boat was struggling a little.I stopped to check and I had huge amount of vegatation wraped up around the prop and outdrive.I cleaned her off but it wasn't easy.It was wrapped up pretty tight.After I took off again The motor was wanting to rev out.I have read some...
I just read another post about vacuum advance.I have an AQ125A and wanted to check the timing.I have never done any of this but after some reading and some advice I went to give it a try.1.The book says 10 degrees btdc.I see numbers on the block but I can't find any mark on the pulley to line up...
If I had a motor and outdrive that came from another boat would I be able to install the complete unit on another boat?If so has anyone on this site done this kind of job? Just curious,thanks.
Well I was going for a test ride and everything was perfect.I was feeling like things were going great.I stopped out on the lake and shut the motor down to check the stainer for weeds.When I went to start back up just a "click".Thank goodness I got a tow back because my single oar was not...
I was wondering when I should change the condenser and what would happen if it goes bad?My motor is AQ125A.It sits outside the distributer cap.Looks as if all I need is a screwdriver to replace.Is it really that easy to change? thanks.
