"I just purchase an old Sunlin
"I just purchase an old Sunliner 17 foot open bow boat with a Volvo Penta AQ 120B gas engine to take my grand kids fishing. The engine runs but I want to change the fuel pump, fresh water pump, plugs, points, distributor cap, wires and alternator to ensure I don't have any problems when the kids and I are on the lake.
This is my first boat and when I went to the local boat shops to price the parts I almost fell over when the estimate was done. I had no idea that the parts for this motor were so expensive.
When I was speaking to one of the boat shop he slipped up and told me most of the parts are the same that were used on the Volvo automobile engines. When I asked him which engine they would interchange with he realized what he had said and would not provide me the information.
I was hoping one of you old hands might know which year Volvo car and engine model would interchange parts with the AQ 120 B Volvo marine engine.
Thanks in advance"
