Info On Finding Obscure Volvo Penta Parts

[GrowingLad]

Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm currently getting my Dad's old motor boat brought back to life. By this I mean, I get to pay the bills provided by the Boat mechanic /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Poor chap is having a problem sourcing some parts.

Please bear with me as my knowledge of such things is limited but I believe the leg to be a 100 and she dates from the mid 70's.

I thought I'd give the mechanic a help in trying to source the parts.

Can anyone recommend someone/some company who would be a good bet in trying to source odd parts for old Volvo legs.

Thanks as always,

Simon.

My first call would be...

these Volspec's web page people but I would expect that your "engineer" already knows of them.

Try to identify your "leg" (sail drive, out-drive...):

Which model is your engine?

Yep it's a 100 leg, engine is a AQ115

He thinks he may have found the bits, failing that someone is selling a whole leg but that's 400 quid /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Thanks for the info.
