"I have a 1968 Wellcraft with a AQ125 and 280 outdrive. The engine runs very nicely but there is one issue that I would like to resolve.
This past season I got caught out in some rough weather. Steady steep 3' seas with occasional larger waves. Several times I had to pull back the throttle as the boat would literally fall off a large wave and into the following trough. When this happened the engine would die and it would take quite a bit of cranking to get it restarted. The engine ran well otherwise, only the combination of pulling back to idle and crashing off of a wave caused the stall.
I wondering if I might be getting water intrusion through the exaust. My drive does not have any kind of flapper nor do I see anuy signs of mounting holes or one although this drawing shows a flapper:
3433,3434,3435,3436,3437,3438,3439,3440,3441,3442,3443,3444,3445,3446,3448,3447, 3449,3450,3451,3452,3453,3454,3455,3456,3457,3458,3459,3460,3461,3462,3463,http: //www.dougrussell.com/partscatalog/volvo_omc/index.cfm?fuseaction=comp&group=345 4&GroupList=3432,3433,3434,3435,3436,3437,3438,3439,3440,3441,3442,3443,3444,344 5,3446,3448,3447,3449,3450,3451,3452,3453,3454,3455,3456,3457,3458,3459,3460,346 1,3462,3463
Any thoughts?"
