    I got a new to me 1995 SeaRay220 this year with a 5.7L Alpha1GenII drive SN 0F620818 engine SN 0F598365. After checking the engine alignment, there were very light witness marks on the bottom, but clear on all other sides and it was difficult to get the alignment tool in and out. I gave the...

    Alpha 1 Gen II speedometer attachment missing

    I got a new to me boat this year, and I started winterizing it. It is 1995 SeaRay 220 with 5.7L Alpha 1 Gen II drive SN: 0F620818. When I pulled the drive, I noticed the speedometer connector is missing. There is a place for it to attach to the drive, but nothing was attached to it. Is this...

    Is there a trick to removing the flywheel cover? The drive shaft is still in there. I have the engine removed from the boat, and I'm trying to remove the flywheel cover, so I can mount it to my engine stand in order to replace the oil pan gasket. Additionally, any cautions or other things I...

    AQ150 with AQ270 Oil in drive bellows

    I have a 19' Glasply with an AQ150 engine and AQ270 drive. I'm pulling the engine...again...due to an oil leak that I believe is coming from the oil pan gasket. To the point, I found fresh oil in my drive bellows. I assume this is coming from the outdrive, but would like some more insight...

    To fill or not to fill

    i pulled the engine on my 1969 Glasply with a Volvo AQ150, and the lag bolts holding the heat exchanger tower were rusted to the point of breaking. I've finally dug out the shaft of the bolts that were stuck in what I sssume go be the stringers, but now I'm left with these big holes. Do do I...

    Stainless steel vs zinc plated bolts for kicker mount in salt water

    I'm about to install the kicker mount for my 1979's Honda BF100 (10hp) on my 19' Glasply. It has a thick transom (about 3") so I don't plan on beefing it up any more (the 500+ lb cast iron AQ150 has been hanging on it for almost 50 years without a problem). My my question is what kind of bolts...

    A270 where is the "right" place to position all the hose clamps

    I have a 1969 19' Glasply with an AQ150 and an AQ200 outdrive. I know the title says AQ270, but most people don't recognize the 200 as an outdrive, and for this instance everything should be the same. I'm trying to figure out the "right" way to orient all the hose clamps for everything between...

    Aq270 Where are the tabs on the transom shield for alignment

    I pulled the engine on my AQ150 / 270 to replace the PDS bearing and seals. Now I have the engine back in, and don't see any tabs on the transom shield to align my engine. I imagine they would be at the 12, 3, and 9 o'clock positions, but I don't see anything there. I attached a pic that...

    After a bunch of research, I finally found the Volvo nomenclature for my engine. It's an AQ150B with a 270 drive. The engine is a Buick 225 V6 oddfire.

    270 v6 buick engine with only one bearing on drive shaft?

    I have a buick v6 225 oddfire with a 270 drive. Everything I've read says there should be 2 bearings on this drive, but all evidence points to only one bearing. The first two photos are from the engine side of the flywheel housing. There doesn't appear to be a place for a bearing. The last...
