    Great, new starting problem

    Ok I have had my boat out about 5 to 6 times this year and only had the overheating problem that I earlier described, well I think I finally got that done. Now a new problem! The boat doesn't want to start! Not a turning over problem, when the key is turned it gives a click (or a double click)...

    Thermostat

    Will running my boat without a thermostat have any harmful effects on my boat? I think it may be the source of my overheating problem when in motion, so I am thinking about pulling it. Temp is normal in neutral, heats up only when boat is moving. Does this make sense? Its an '86 Bayliner...

    Hell Yeah!! wait, no!

    Ok- so I have posted on here numerous times this summer about my Bayliner Capri (Volvo Penta aq125 with 270 outdrive)and how it overheats when under a load over 3000rpms, but its fine otherwise. In neutral, its great, I can run it as high/hard as I want and never overheats. So I went out last...

    Overheating Issues: New Thought?...

    So I have a 86 bayliner capri with a Volvo Penta aq125A and a VP 270 outdrive. I have explained that under a load, the engine overheats when run over 3000rpms, but never overheats in Neutral- nor will it overheat if just kept slow all day. Well, I know this could be one of about 15 different...

    Still heating up...

    Ok, so my '86 Bayliner capri w a Volvo penta aq125/270 outdrive is still heating up when run over 2700RPM's. I keep a careful eye on it and back it off to cool down once it reaches about 190-200. Runs at a hair below 180 normally. If I put it in neutral I can run it about 3000RPMs and the temp...

    What is this tube?

    Again, I am new to this boating thing and I know it shows. I have a '86 Bayliner Capri with a volvo aq125/270. On the engine, there is a small, about 1" round, black tube that comes up and rests against the carberator housing. There is an indention for this tube there so I know it belongs...

    Outdrive Play?

    Quick question...<br /> How much play (ie. wiggle back and forth) should I be able to feel when shaking the entire outdrive unit back and forth by hand? Should there be any? Is this indicative of another problem? Seals, O-rings? I am talking about a Volvo 270, on a trailer, of course. Thanks
