    Hello everyone, I'm in the middle of reconditioning my 270 outdrive off my AQ125a setup due to bad watertube seals. I pulled it apart, sandblasted it, painted it, and now finally reassembling it with new seals. The lower gears were fairly straightforward. I reused the old shims and then...

They are part of the reverse latching mechanism and one piece is part of the shifter linkage. My question is do I need to paint these? I know stainless steel is...

    New motorcycle or upgrade the one I've got? Worth it?

    Hopefully this is appropriate for Tech Topics. My current commuter bike is a 1980 Honda XL250s enduro. I love it but my commute is going to be a lot longer soon and the engine just screams on the freeway anywhere around 65-70mph. As a student I don't have a whole lot of money, and I'm really...

    Volvo Penta 270 Steering Helmet - Bolts not lining up

    Hi, I'm putting together this 270 outdrive for the first time since I got the boat from a neighbor. I ran into a problem with the steering helmet. When I put it on, the bolt holes don't line up with the steering fork. It's almost as if the helmet is held too far forward. The helmet is pushed...
