I recently Bought my boat and
I recently Bought my boat and i am new to boating. I have been doing minor works that havent required me to have a part number. NOw i am in need of a trim wire and also my mechanic told me i needed to purchace a new distributer cap and brushes as one engine would not idle and continues to stall when i need to dock. It would run fine at high rpm but would not idle. The authorised dealer told me that on the out drive i could find the appropriate number for ordering but all the numbers have been corroded and not readible. I know the person whom i bought it from told me that the engines are volvo penta 5.0 That surely means nothing much to order parts. The outdrives are double props. They are also 1996 engines and i think someone said they are 302's. Thats as much as i know. Can anyone help me.
