    AQ125 Oil pan

    If I could not separate it at the flywheel housing all I ever did was pull the upper gear box like you said. I always pulled the upper if it was a V8 but always took a shot with separating at the flywheel housing on the 4 bangers. Quite often I encountered a situation where the heads of some...

    AQ125 Oil pan

    Actually the Volvo AQ models do not need the drive removed to separate the engine from the flywheel housing. Hopefully the PDF shaft is not rusted to the flex plate coupler.

    OMC Bayliner Trophy ignition q’s

    Bayliner used a generic harness and it is not shielded. Follow the color of the wire from the ignition switch which should be purple in color To the rear of the boat. Inspect the condition fo the large pins in the main cannon plug where it plugs into the engine side of the harness.

    AQ125 Oil pan

    It depends on how much clearance there is below the engine, you might be able to do it by removing the oil pump suction screen Once the pan is dropped. The engine is not too heavy and is easily separated from the flywheel housing and rigging a 4”x6” across the top of the gunnels with a chain...

    Trim / tilt broke. Both up and down relays showing voltage.

    As far as the pump not working and the fact that you have had this boat for the last 20 years I am pretty sure that the brushes are probably worn down to the tension springs. As far as the fluid overflowing I do find that somewhat strange, and have to agree with Scott.

    Surge brake

    I always check the fluid and replace it periodically since brake fluid tends to absorb moisture. One day one of the brake drums started smoking so I stopped and bled off the fluid. After getting home I pulled the drums and every thing looked good. I stated actuating the master cylinder and...

    Problem with getting to the advice setting

    I must have done something wrong. The person’s picture signature is on the right side of my screen and I have to go to boats forum on Google to be able to go to the OMC, Volvo or Mercruiser sites. In other words I have to back out each time. Needless to say I am not very good with these type...

    “Major” Nut Case

    My last job was with the local Police Department as a civilian employee. My job was maintaining the special equipment. We had a 26’ Boston Whaler Sentry with a pair of 225 Mercurys. The Major comes and says to get the boat ready to go rescue a disabled boat in the lake. He is barking orders at...

    Propeller question

    My Donzi has a 14-1/4” X 22” stainless propeller that works perfectly. The only place the pitch is embossed is on the front under the thrust collar. I was trying to figure what series the propeller is. The boat runs 70 @ 5000 on GPS.

    My rating

    I was in the Navy 65-69 as a 2nd class Engineman. Just curious, how can I be a 1st Class Petty Officer and a Officer at the same time? Am I supposed to eat in the crew’s mess or the Ward Room? I know the Ward Room has better chow.

    Blue plastic drain plugs.

    Yesterday I finished installing the 6.2 MPI after having the transom replaced on my DONZI. While looking for any leaks I saw a stream under the large circulating pump hose. I touched the plug and it fell apart. Not a good thing to happen in the water. The broken shell comes out easy with a...

    Power trim 2008 140 suzuki 4 stroke.

    A friend asked me if I had any knowledge about the trim electrical system. I have no experience with these outboards. The trim goes down and the only for it to go up is to by-pass the up relay to the blue wire that goes to the motor. Is there a trim limit switch on the engine that may be...

    6.2 fuel injection problem

    I recently purchased a 18' Donzi 6.2 MPI that will not go over 3k RPM. The sea water pump impeller is new, the fuel injectors have been flow tested, the 93 gas is ethanol free and the tank was drained. The Cool fuel pump was removed and the screen was inspected and was clean. The fuel filters...
