Hello everyone!

My son has purchased his first boat.

It is a 1983 Bayliner Capri Bowrider 19ft with a Volvo Penta AQ125A engine and a 270 Stern drive.

I need any and all help you all can give me. I have rebuilt automobile engines for years and I am new to the boat engine components. What they all are called and what they all do. I would like to read a book or PDF on the entire engine and components before resurrecting this engine that has been sitting idle for years. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!

Thank you all in advance for any help!
